Unlabelled:
On the morning of Sunday November 29, 2009, hundreds of radiologist-attendees at the Radiological Society of North America's Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting took their seats in a simulated courtroom at McCormick Place, Chicago, Ill, to witness a mock trial of a radiologist who had been accused of medical malpractice for failing to communicate to a referring physician a possibly important abnormal radiologic finding. This report is a summary of the lawsuit.

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...
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...
