Emergency radiology refers to medical imaging (X-rays, sonograms, MRIs, CT scans) taken and interpreted in an emergency room. Emergency radiologists help diagnose sudden illnesses and injuries, such as appendicitis and gunshot wounds.Emergency diagnostic radiologists are an integral part of a hospital's emergency team and are directly involved in helping diagnose trauma patients. Emergency radiologists use a range of imaging techniques to diagnose: Body trauma. Some of the emergency drugs used in radiology department is : •Adrenaline •Atropine •Sodium bicarbonate •Dopamine •Diazepam •Avil •Hydrocortisone •Buscopan #snsdesignthinkers #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinking

Explore the innovative specialties of interventional radiology (IR) and interventional neuroradiology (INR). Learn about the importance and distinction of IR and INR, and how these specialties are making a significant impact on patient outcomes with advanced, precision-guided procedures. Why specialty recognition matters: 🔷 Strengthens clinical practice and the profile of IRs and INRs to enhance patient care. 🔷Ensures better patient access to specialised, high-quality care. 🔷Enhances healthcare outcomes with cutting-edge treatments. 🔷Supports ongoing innovation and research in these fields. Watch now to understand the future of modern medicine and advocate for the need for specialty recognition in IR and INR.

📢 Fresh findings from Society of Interventional Radiology examine the prevalence of Conflicts of Interest #COI among #InterventionalRadiologists and related specialists on social media. A deep dive into device/company mentions on X (formerly Twitter) and potential bias. 🧐💡 @SIRspecialists Study Scope: • Analyzed 13,809 X posts between Oct and Dec 2021 • Focus: Device/company mentions by US interventional radiologists & related fields 🔎 COI Stats Unveiled: • Out of 80 posts mentioning 100 devices/companies, 53% had COI 🚨 • 40% of interventional radiologists with device mentions linked to COI • Neurosurgeons showed a higher COI rate of 62% ⬆️ 🔍 Comparative Results: • Physicians mentioning a device/company are 3.7x more likely to have COI compared to controls (53/100 vs 14/100, p<0.001) • Median received payment for those with COI: $2,270 💵 • Crucially, none of these COIs were disclosed in posts 🛑 📌 Takeaway: A significant correlation exists between Social media device/company mentions and financial COIs. The lack of disclosure could limit the assessment of biases in posts. 🔗 Dive deeper into the study here: https://lnkd.in/gqjkmgdD Acknowledgment to the diligent efforts of researchers from @USC_IR, @Stanford_IR, & @MountSinaiIR for spotlighting this pressing issue! 🙌 @_trwebb, @michaeljrepajic, @IR_Ethics, @FiveNada, @TherealDoctorJ, & team!

Radiology in Emergency Medicine: Applying X-Ray Vision in the ER The fast-paced world of emergency medicine (EM) demands quick decisions under pressure. But when every second counts, radiology becomes your secret weapon. This guide is designed doctors in EM, focusing on the practical application of radiology in everyday emergency scenarios. https://bit.ly/3VCnw83 #lightbox #lightboxradiology #dem #emergency #EM #xray #ct #ultrasound

Unlocking new possibilities in medical care, Interventional Radiology. From vascular issues to neurological conditions, these advanced procedures provide less invasive, targeted relief and treatment options for a wide range of medical challenges. 👨⚕️ #InterventionalTechnology #HealthcareInnovation #Healthcare #NewTechnology #BhaktivedantaHospital

#AuntMinnieEurope's Top 10 Stories of 2023 highlight the unrelenting pressure on #radiology to increase the productivity. Faster scan times, fewer errors, and the implementation of new standards are the dominant themes. Notably, amidst the "triple challenge" of #healthcare productivity (faster, better, cheaper - pick any two), the issue of cost has seemingly flown under the radar. In the face of ongoing financial turbulence, radiology departments are facing even greater pressure to optimize practices. This raises a critical question: will this pressure drive advancements in automation or will it ultimately lead to unsustainable pressure points within the system?

Until #interventionalradiology is recognised as a distinct specialty in Australia, patients will continue to have restricted #access to pinhole treatments. We are all trying to negotiate the glass ceiling above us but there is a widespread issue of suboptimal allocation of resources and inherent government restrictions because everyone thinks we are just "reporting scans". GPs and patients don't even know who we are or what we can do. The solution is top-down: specialty recognition, just like in the USA, Canada, Portugal, Japan, and the list goes on... Let's see what #irad can do: - Life saving treatments to stop bleeding in hospital patients or after motor vehicle accidents - Life saving treatments to solve sepsis in unwell hospital patients and outpatients - Limb-saving treatments for blocked arteries in the leg - Pinhole treatments for heavy menstrual bleeding that avoid hysterectomy - Pinhole treatments for lower urinary symptoms in men that avoid large prostate operations - Pinhole treatments to cure some types of cancer - Pinhole treatments to give chemotherapy directly into the centre of a cancer ...all this through an invisible hole and with lower cost than many open surgical alternatives. And yet, on many occasions patients still haven't heard of us or been given an option to see an IR - because on paper and with the government we don't (yet) exist! To me, there is immense value for patients, hospitals, and the wider healthcare system. Wouldn't you want a high-value IR department in your hospital? Well done to The Royal Australian & New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR), Hannah Ireland, Justin Whitley for the advocacy video and all medical practitioners should support the cause. It could be you on our operating table one day!
