PACS and RIS have traditionally been discrete information systems with separate databases. Maintaining more than one database containing identical data sets creates the potential for outdated information being used in parallel with accurate information. Today, because of increased implementation of PACS and improved Web technology, this problem must be solved. Furthermore, as PACS technology is applied to areas outside radiology such database issues become more critical. Application of XML offers a cost-effective and workable solution to many of the thorniest problems that will likely become more prevalent in the post-Y2K era.

Department of Musculoskeletal Radiology, Royal Orthopedic Hospital, Birmingham B31 2AP, UK.
The spinous processes act as a lever for attachments of muscles and ligaments. Spinal imaging is commonly performed as a diagnostic test for pain and radiculopathy. A myriad of incidental or unexpected findings, both potentially asymptomatic and symptomatic, may be encountered during the interpretation of these images, which commonly comprise radiographs, Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Purpose: To evaluate outcomes and complications of prophylactic internal iliac balloon occlusion (PIIBO) in the management of patients with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) at a large regional referral centre.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of all PIIBO for PAS performed over a 12-year period (2010-2022). Information for analysis was gathered from the local RIS/PACS and clinical documentation.

The term congenital lung malformation (CLM) is used to describe a wide range of pathological conditions with different imaging and clinical manifestations. These anomalies stem from abnormal embryological lung development, potentially occurring across various stages of prenatal life. Their natural history can be variable, presenting in a wide range of severity levels and encompassing asymptomatic individuals who remain so until adulthood, as well as those who experience respiratory distress in the neonatal period.

Background: Capillary hemangiomas are rare vascular lesions that rarely affect the central nervous system. When they present within the spinal canal, they are typically confined intradurally, with intramedullary extension rare. We present a rare case of spinal intramedullary capillary hemangioma, with a systematic review of the literature.

Radiography (Lond)
May 2024
Jönköping University, Department of Natural Science and Biomedicine, Jönköping, Sweden.
Introduction: Hip fracture is a serious affliction that requires fast care and an X-ray examination, which are provided by an ambulance and a visit to the radiology department, respectively. If a well-functioning mobile X-ray service could be developed, by examining the patient in their own home, both the work strain of hospital workers and patient suffering could be reduced. The purpose of this study was to determine if the mobile X-ray service could be a supplement to the fast-track process that is utilised by the ambulance service.
