Abstract:
In a few years all radiology departments in Norwegian hospitals will have a picture archiving and communications system (PACS). This depends on telecommunications with great capacity for transmitting radiology images. The new technology questions the need for daily meetings between radiologists and clinicians, 'clinico-radiological conferences'. Qualitative interviews were performed with 23 resource persons experienced with problems related to PACS and teleradiology. The response rate was 91%. In all, 29% answered that the clinico-radiological conferences could be abolished, 52% replied no and 19% replied both yes and no. The clinico-radiological conferences could be abolished for some clinical departments, but only after consultation between radiology and clinical departments. If the conferences are abolished, clinicians and radiologists may spend more time on treatment and interpretation, with a probable productivity gain.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
