The Basics of Interventional Radiology Management in a Large Radiology Group: A Bird's-Eye View
1Department of Radiology, University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria, Illinois.
Abstract:
Through nearly 6 decades of growth we have enjoyed and suffered under many different types of management structures. From these experiences we have become believers in a central committee structure that advances our agenda with hospital administrators and third-party payers. The best way to illustrate what we think is a winning solution is by describing our present management system. Herein we describe what we do and what works for our large radiology group as well as our interventional practice. Although this structure works well for our large medical group, it will likely work equally well for a smaller medical group.

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...

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...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
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...
