[Development and Usefulness of Support Package for Learning of Image Interpretation Assistance Using CT and MRI Image in Emergency Medicine].

The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare announced about the expansion of duties by the radiological technologists in team medical care in April, 2010, and the importance of image interpretation assistance by the radiological technologists became higher. In that respect, for improvement in ability of image interpretation assistance by the radiological technologists in emergency medicine, we developed a support package for learning of image interpretation assistance (support package) and evaluated the usefulness for learning of image interpretation assistance by questionnaires. The support package included digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) data of case, explainer video of urgent imaging findings, and DICOM viewer.

Different hemodynamics of basal ganglia between moyamoya and non-moyamoya diseases using intravoxel incoherent motion imaging and single-photon emission computed tomography.

Background: Moyamoya disease (MMD) and non-MMD have different pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and treatment policy.

Purpose: To identify differences in hemodynamics between MMD and non-MMD using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

Material And Methods: Patients who had undergone Tc-ECD or I-IMP SPECT, and IVIM imaging were retrospectively studied.
