We’re pleased to be able to read Computed Tomography (CT) images for you as part of our teleradiology services. A CT scan uses a computer to create cross-sectional images of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues inside the body. These images show more detail than plain X-rays do.

Don’t forget to provide the specific region(s) of interest (head, abdomen, etc.) that you want interpreted. The more we know, the better we can ensure we focus on the area you’d like evaluated.

Don't let a missing marker X-out your results! 😉 Use a physical marker on the table next to the patient for clear and accurate labeling. A physical marker is best, as digital markers don’t always transfer properly. Avoid a hold, place those markers!

During an ultrasonography scan, a continuous stream of live, digitized data is obtained and can be transferred into a cine loop. Cine loops are short video clips that capture the movement of structures during the exam. They are crucial for evaluating dynamic structures like the heart and its valves.

The Cine loops can be stored digitally and then shared with the VitalRADS team of Board-Certified Specialists for full evaluation and diagnosis.

What is collimation? It's the process of narrowing the X-ray beam to only cover the area being examined.

Why is it important?:
- Reduces radiation dose making it safer for the staff and patient
- Produces clearer images
- Helps ensure accurate diagnoses

How does it work?:
A collimator produces a light beam that mirrors the X-ray beam, to help make sure only the necessary area is exposed.

Dr. Poteet's BELIEVE IT OR NOT! (Posted Mondays and Fridays all October)

Thanks to a form of X-rays, scientists were able to see the double-helix structure of DNA in the early 1950s.

Although James Watson and Francis Crick are typically credited with the discovery of the structure of DNA, their breakthrough would not have been possible without the X-ray crystallography performed by chemist Rosalind Franklin.

X-ray crystallography involves striking a crystal’s surface with X-rays and then looking at the “scattering” pattern generated as a result. By working backwards mathematically, scientists can reconstruct the structure of small molecules from these intricate patterns. Rosalind Franklin’s X-ray diffraction work was crucial in unraveling the structure of DNA. Her “Photograph 51” (pictured below) provided key evidence for the double helix model. Despite her significant contributions, her work was not fully recognized until after her death.
