In order to monitor the quality and standardization of imaging reports and procedures, as well as fulfill JC and CMS requirements for peer review, our department has developed a web-based information-technology system that facilitates and tracks conferences for report review and evaluation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the data obtained by this system to describe the frequency and the...
A poor correlation between reduction in fibroid size and uterine volume following UFE, and patient symptoms has been previously described using US imaging. The information provided by MRI imaging is significantly greater than US. The aim of this study is to identify whether there are features identifiable on either pre or post UFE MRI that are associated with patient outcome.All patients at our institution...
To outline basic selection criteria for intra-operative vs IR suite embolization. To review some pitfalls and roadblocks to success. Discuss keys for prompt response time and short procedural times.A subset of severe poly-trauma patients are too unstable to be successfully imaged by CT and transferred to the IR suite. These patients require urgent transfer to the OR for stabilization and support....
Radiological gastrostomy tube insertion (RIG) is a commonly practiced IR technique and the need for this service is increasing. Whilst most operators have their preferred techniques, a knowledge of the various insertion methods, tricks and tips is essential to offer a high quality service. We aim to discuss the four techniques commonly used in our institution.The four commonly used methods of RIG...
To assess the clinical effectiveness of angiography and transcatheter intervention in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) bleedingClinical records of 76 patients who underwent angiography and embolization for gastrointestinal bleeding were reviewed after obtaining IRB approval. Patient demographics, history, angiographic findings, treatment and outcomes were recorded. The technical success, 24hr and...
The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and the impact of using QatchAll to identify the frequency and type of technical issues reported in the Division of Vascular Imaging and Intervention at our institution.To assess, document and improve the technical quality of imaging studies and image guided interventions, our department has developed a novel information technology system...
