Abstract:
First, to summarize the results of teleradiology programs on neurosurgical emergency care in France. Second, to compare French data with the international literature. Third, to discuss the likely developments and future of teleneuroradiology and teleneurosurgery. Data on French use of telemedicine applications in neuroradiology come from a survey of telemedicine applications in France, which has been conducted in year 2003 at the request of the French ministry of the Research. Teleradiology clearly has a positive impact on emergency neurosurgical care by reducing the time to correct diagnosis and initiation of treatment of patients who need to be transferred and avoid unnecessary transfers. However, present teleradiology applications have organizational limitations that are summarized and discussed with reference to the literature. Further developments in information and communications technology have the potential to revolutionise neurosurgical emergency care and contribute to improve the training of neuroradiology and neurosurgery staff.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
