Long line positioning in neonates: does computed radiography improve visibility?
OBJECTIVES To assess the use of soft copy reporting of computed radiography (CR) images in determining intravenous long line tip position in neonates and compare visibility rates with hard copy printed images. METHOD A retrospective study of all long lines inserted on the neonatal unit over a period of one year was performed. Forty five lines were inserted in 30 neonates over this time. Asses...
متن کاملPositioning long lines: contrast versus plain radiography.
AIM To assess the value of contrast versus plain radiography in determining radio-opaque long line tip position in neonates. METHODS In a prospective study, plain radiography was performed after insertion of radio-opaque long lines. If the line tip was not visible on the plain film, a second film with contrast was obtained in an attempt to visualise the tip. RESULTS Sixty eight lines were i...

CE Email comments/questions to [email protected], fax 800-556-3288, or log on to www.VetLearn.com Computed radiography (CR) is a digital imaging technology and digital x-ray image management system that has been used in human and veterinary medicine since the 1980s. CR helps eliminate many of the disadvantages of traditional radiography. A storage phosphor plate collects the pattern of x...
متن کاملPractical guidelines for radiographers to improve computed radiography image quality
Computed Radiography (CR) has become a major digital imaging modality in a modern radiological department. CR system changes workflow from the conventional way of using film/screen by employing photostimulable phosphor plate technology. This results in the changing perspectives of technical, artefacts and quality control issues in radiology departments. Guidelines for better image quality in di...
متن کاملComputed Radiography in Perspective
Introduction Imagine the excitement accompanying the first realization that noninvasive visualization of bones was possible. German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen was working in a darkened room on November 8, 1895, experimenting with electrical charges flowing through a vacuum tube, when a piece of paper coated with barium platinum cyanide glowed. Coincidentally, it had been left near a card...
