With the recent advances in LLMs, I suspect dictation improvements are one of the things that will be increasingly available in the very very near term future (though how cost-effective those plugins or replacements will be remains to be seen). In the meantime, PowerScribe is ubiquitous in radiology practices across the country, and it’s the only dictation software I use in my job.

Background: Primary PCI is the recommended reperfusion strategy in patients with STEMI and should be initiated within 2 hours after first medical contact. In non-PCI-capable hospitals this goal is not always achievable due to delays in transfer. In these cases, thrombolysis is recommended to improve morbidity and mortality. The STREAM-1 trial found that for [2] patients with STEMI presenting within 3 hours of symptom onset and unable to attain PCI within 1 hour of first medical contact, a phar

Since the advent of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam on human patients in the late 1970s, this innovation offered a multi-layered and noninvasive approach to the imaging of bodily organs, functions and the ability to diagnose disease. The MRI design applies the use of a radio frequency and a large magnet to generate visual reports of structures inside the body to monitor a major set of conditions.

Take Home Points: In the context of poisoning, a “wide QRS” is anything greater than 100 milliseconds. A newly “wide QRS”, especially with hemodynamic instability, should prompt consideration of sodium channel blockade and not ventricular tachycardia. Treatment is guided by administration of sodium-bicarbonate. Recall that the resultant alkalemia driven by sodium-bicarbonate will shift potassium intracellularly.

Fragility fractures are a major health problem. Greater than 70% of women who have a fragility fracture are not identified using the current clinical definition of osteoporosis, and therefore remain unidentified and untreated.

At its core, teleradiology is the electronic transmission of medical imaging studies, like X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, from one location to another. This allows radiologists and doctors to evaluate, diagnose, and consult regardless of their physical distance from the imaging source. Utilizing advanced secure networks and specialized software, teleradiology ensures timely delivery and high-quality images, making healthcare more accessible and collaborative.
