Imaging-led symptomatic breast clinics: a case for direct access to radiology

Abstract:
Radiologists play a pivotal role in patient management in modern hospital medicine and more so with regard to breast imaging. The diagnosis of breast pathology hinges predominantly on mammography and ultrasound imaging. With reduced clinician confidence in clinical examination alone, virtually all patients with breast symptoms are being referred for imaging. The traditional 'one-stop' clinics are victims of their own success and demand outstrips availability. This article makes a case for imaging-led breast clinics to increase efficiency, reduce duplication of work and cost, and increase throughput of patients.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
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...
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...
