The impact of computerized radiological reporting systems on the radiologist
Abstract:
Although the advantages of automated reporting systems in diagnostic radiology far outweigh the disadvantages, radiologists have been slow to accept them because of their reluctance to work with the systems, i.e., assume a secretarial function, or to abandon ad lib. dictation. To realize the benefits of automated reporting, it is necessary for the radiologist to change his reporting style from one of "dictating while reading" to one of "reporting" only after searching the films and drawing a conclusion, and to appreciate that in this era of information overload, rapid delivery of a crisp, pertinent summary of his findings to the referring physician maximizes his influence on patient care.

X-ray Imaging
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...

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...

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...
