Abstract:
LANGUAGE="EN">Summary. In this paper the organisation of a radiology satellite department is described. In the satellite department only bucky examinations are performed, thus avoiding the need for the duplication of sophisticated material and specialized staff. The satellite department maintains as efficient a service as the main radiology department. For this purpose a digital radiology system was chosen for the satellite department. This system permits digital data to be sent to the main location. This results in a maximisation of the advantages of a two-location system as well as avoiding the need for patients' files to be moved between different locations.

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...
