Femoral anteversion in the hip: comparison of measurement by computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and physical examination.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements of femoral anteversion, as well as the relation of anteversion with physical examination and radiographic findings.

Methods: Preoperative CT and MRI measurements of anteversion along with clinical examination were performed on 129 consecutive hips before hip arthroscopy for nonarthritic hip injuries. All anteversion measurements were performed by 2 musculoskeletal radiologists.

Rapid wireless transmission of head CT images to a personal digital assistant for remote consultation.

Rationale And Objectives: We describe a simple technique for transmission of a complete set of cranial computed tomography (CT) images to a commercially available wireless personal digital assistant (PDA) for remote teleradiology consultation.

Materials And Methods: A complete set of images from the head CT of a trauma patient with subdural hematoma (19 images) was captured from a picture archiving and communication system and transmitted wirelessly as an e-mail attachment after being compressed. The images were retrieved, decompressed, and reviewed using commercially available software and a PDA with cellular phone capability.

Evaluation of personal digital assistants as an interpretation medium for computed tomography of patients with intracranial injury.

The objective of the study was to assess the feasibility of using a personal digital assistant (PDA) as a medium for the interpretation of cranial CT scans of trauma patients. Twenty-one noncontrast cranial CT scans were transferred in their entirety to a PDA from the picture archiving and communications system (PACS) utilizing General Electric (GE) PathSpeed PACS Web Server interface and synchronization. All CT scans had been interpreted by board-certified radiologists prior to the study.
