Purpose Scope and clinical importance of interventional radiology markedly evolved over the last decades. Consequently it was acknowledged as independent subspecialty by the „European Union of Medical Specialists“ (UEMS). Based on radiological imaging techniques Interventional Radiology is an integral part of Radiology. Materials undMethods In 2009 the German Society for Interventional Radiolog...

Background: There is not any report on the radiation doses received by patients in diagnostic radiology sections in hospitals under control of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Medical Sciences University, in the south west of Iran. Objectives: The aim of this study is measurement of entrance surface doses (ESD) for the most routine types of X-ray procedures in radiology centers as part of ongoing d...

Background: To ensure precision and accuracy during interventional radiologic (IR) procedures, navigation systems are utilized. There are four main categories of guidance systems that can be used to assist in IR procedures: optical system, electromagnetic (EM) tracking, Cone Bean Computer Tomography (CBCT) and Magnetic Navigation system. Objective: The purpose of this report is to examine some ...

At many teaching hospitals, it is common practice for on-call radiology residents to interpret radiology examinations; such reports are later reviewed and revised by an attending physician before being used for any decision making. In case there are substantial problems in the resident’s initial report, the resident is called and the problems are reviewed to prevent similar future reporting err...

One of the main goals of radiology is to communicate imaging information to aid in patient management. Information standards can facilitate communication and help realize this goal. Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a new information transmission standard that was developed to meet the growing need for robust, large-scale World Wide Web applications. XML notation provides a compact document r...

“Imaging signs” are a critical part of radiology’s language. They not only are important for conveying diagnosis, but may also aid in indexing radiology literature and retrieving relevant cases and images. Here we report our work towards representing and categorizing imaging signs of abdominal abnormalities in figures in the radiology literature. Given a region-of-interest (ROI) from a figure, ...
