The world's first entirely digital radiology system was planned in 1988 and implemented in 1992 in the Danube Hospital of the Socio Medical Care Centre East in Vienna, Austria. An overview is provided of a decade's experience in digital radiology, and of the various considerations in implementing such a system. This experience has proven that the principal advantage of digital radiology is reli...

Radiology reports are an important means of communication between radiologists and other physicians. These reports express a radiologist’s interpretation of a medical imaging examination and are critical in establishing a diagnosis and formulating a treatment plan. In this paper, we propose a Bidirectional convolutional neural network (Bi-CNN) model for the interpretation and classification of ...

Oncologists managing cancer patients use radiology imaging studies to evaluate changes in measurable cancer lesions. Currently, the textual radiology report summarizes the findings, but is disconnected from the primary image data. This makes it difficult for the physician to obtain a visual overview of the location and behavior of the disease. LesionViewer is a prototype software system designe...

PURPOSE To compare the content, clarity, and clinical usefulness of conventional (ie, free-form) and structured radiology reports of body computed tomographic (CT) scans, as evaluated by referring physicians, attending radiologists, and radiology fellows at a tertiary care cancer center. MATERIALS AND METHODS The institutional review board approved the study as a quality improvement initiativ...

MRA (Multilingual Report Annotator) is a web application that translates Radiology text and annotates it with RadLex terms. Its goal is to explore the solution of translating non-English Radiology reports as a way to solve the problem of most of the Text Mining tools being developed for English. In this brief paper we explain the language barrier problem and shortly describe the application. MR...

introduction lead-based shields are the most widely used attenuators in x-ray and gamma ray fields. the heavy weight, toxicity and corrosion of lead have led researchers towards the development of non-lead shields. materials and methods the purpose of this study was to design multi-layered shields for protection against x-rays and gamma rays in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. in this...
