Researchers offer age-specific dose estimator for fluoroscopy exams

AuntMinnie

A team of researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital has developed an age-specific dose catalog for estimating radiation exposure to children from diagnostic and interventional radiology fluoroscopy procedures. They analyzed metrics to estimate age-specific effective dose per IR procedure type and diagnostic fluoroscopy exam.

Moore’s Law for radiologists

AuntMinnie

To cover a CT and MR "list" was a luxury; it was to escape the murderous fluoroscopy rooms, intravenous urography (IVU) lists, and indeterminable piles of plain films Then the scanners got fast. So as to report more CT and MRI, radiologists stopped doing hands-on ultrasound and fluoroscopy. 20s rotation, 40s reconstruction.

Noncontrast fluoroscopy method can image chronic hypertension

AuntMinnie

A fluoroscopy method incorporating a noncontrast x-ray pulsatility index (XPI) can improve clinical efficiency as a screening or diagnostic test for suspected chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, according to research presented at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) annual meeting.

HPI: Nonradiologists interpret more than a third of office-based imaging

AuntMinnie

The large differences between radiologists and nonradiologists in interpretation training could lead to differences in diagnostic accuracy." They found that rates of self-interpretation varied by imaging modality: Self-interpretation rate for office-based imaging by modality Modality Percentage X-ray and fluoroscopy 50.4%

Digital X-ray, Fluoroscopy, and Regenerative Medicine: Elevating Patient Care

Maven Imaging

In the realm of regenerative medicine, the integration of advanced imaging technologies like digital X-ray and fluoroscopy has become paramount. These tools not only enhance diagnostic accuracy but also revolutionize the administration and assessment of regenerative treatments.

Few ‘surprise’ patient bills are from radiologists, study finds

In addition, they computed the out-of-network rate by imaging modality, with claims categorized as CT, MR, nuclear medicine (NM), ultrasound, radiography or fluoroscopy (XR), and interventional procedures. For example, among diagnostic imaging, NM had the largest decline, from 14.5% In total, they identified 80.4 in 2007 to 1.1%

Radiation doses estimated in infants with congenital heart disease

AuntMinnie

The group used the National Cancer Institute dosimetry system for radiography and fluoroscopy (NCIRF) to estimate absolute organ-specific radiation doses in 10 cardiac catheterizations and 20 diagnostic fluoroscopic procedures in a cohort of neonates with cyanotic CHD who required early intervention.
