NEURORADIOLOGY AND
PACS NEUROIMAGING
Our Department has a close
working relationship with the Division of Neuroradiology
within the Department of Radiology. There are (7)
full-time neuroradiologists. Within their division is a
strong group of endovascular specialists who work
closely with the Brain Attack Team and Vascular
Neurologists. Intra-arterial TPA, coiling of aneurysms,
extracranial and intracranial stenting, and other
cutting edge procedures are routinely employed.
In addition, one of the major conveniences of the neurology residency
training program is the system wide implementation of the
Picture Archiving Communications
Systems (PACS) digital imaging system at the University
Hospitals. As soon as a scan is completed,
it is immediately available to be reviewed
electronically. No longer do residents need to spend
time looking for lost films, or walking to the radiology
department to view scans. Scans are now easily viewed
during conferences and rounds. Large, high resolution
monitors are available on all hospital units. Viewing is
also easily performed on any computer monitor in the
hospital and outpatient clinic. |
