Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostic medical imaging reports has the potential to improve efficiency. Although perception of radiologists, radiographers, students and patients on AI use image reporting been explored, there is limited literature non-radiologist clinicians' opinion this topic.Single-centre online survey targeting staff conducted from May August 2021 at a tertiary referral hospital Melbourne, Australia. Survey questions revolved around level comfort acting...
Abstract Background As an adjunct to non-operative management, splenic artery embolization (SAE) has been increasingly utilized throughout the world and is now standard of care for hemodynamically stable patients. This study aimed retrospectively assess rate salvage complications after SAE blunt trauma at a level 1 center using 2018 update AAST criteria, further sub-stratify role angiography in grade III injuries with significant hemoperitoneum. All patients between January 2009 2019 who...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality and transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) an established technique to treat patients with intermediate-stage HCC. The aim this study was generate accurate costing data on cTACE DEB-TACE in Australian setting assess whether one the procedures offers favourable cost-effectiveness.
Abstract Introduction Uterine fibroids have the potential to cause morbidity, and there is a substantial cost both healthcare system society. There support for minimally invasive intervention, uterine fibroid embolisation (UFE) an established cost‐effective option women wishing alternative surgery. lack of local Australian costing data compliment use in public hospital system, we offer analysis running service. Methods We reviewed costs 10 sequential cases, by assessing direct indirect...
Conventional transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) stent insertion is an established procedure with high rates of technical success. However, alternative techniques may increase success in the setting challenging anatomy or limited resources. Originally described as a salvage porto-caval approach, we present modified gun-sight porto-hepatic TIPS technique.A retrospective review was performed identifying patients who underwent over 1-year period. Six procedures were identified,...
Abstract Introduction It is estimated that 8% of hospitalised patients require treatment from Interventional Radiology (IR). However, little known about the potential impact IR on regional and remote Australians, including Indigenous patients. This study aimed to assess treatments performed by IRs regional/remote predict future workforce governance needs. Methods Single‐centre cross‐sectional at a tertiary Victorian hospital. Patients were identified when they had an advanced between 1...
Cataract formation is a tissue reaction effected by radiation exposure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occupational exposure lens eye interventional radiologists (IR's) and radiology staff, with without lead glasses.Ethical approval provided hospital research ethics committee. A prospective cohort performed over 1 year, doses recorded, lifetime dose (estimated at working 5 days in angiography, for 30 years) estimated compared current guidelines. Thermoluminescent dosimeters...
Summary Advanced techniques have been described to remove embedded inferior vena cava (IVC) filters including the loop snare and modified (Hangman) techniques. Retrieval of associated with higher rates complications IVC injury stenosis. We report two challenging retrievals complicated by haemorrhage. Haemostasis was successfully achieved prolonged balloon tamponade, suggesting that during filter retrieval may not need urgent surgery. However, both patients received short‐term related caval...
We describe a case of 73-year-old man who presented with right-sided abdominal pain associated palpable mass. Initial laboratory examination was normal except lactate dehydrogenase level. Subsequent CT image showed situs inversus and splenic mass multiple lymph nodes enlargement. Biopsy taken from the demonstrated mantle cell lymphoma. Staging performed intravenous contrast, patient developed altered mental status, respiratory failure acute kidney injury requiring intensive care unit care....
Abstract Introduction Pseudoaneurysms are uncommon but potentially life‐threatening. Treatment may involve a variety of interventions including observation, manual compression, ultrasound‐guided thrombin injection and endovascular surgical techniques. Current treatments largely based on observational data there is no consensus management. This study aimed to provide evidence for guiding clinical decisions regarding visceral artery pseudoaneurysm peripheral Methods Retrospective single‐centre...
Varicocoele is commonly encountered in males with infertility. Studies have shown that varicocoele repair (surgery or embolisation) can improve the rate of subsequent pregnancy. In Australia, there been no studies assessing cost embolisation and current practice based on international data. This study aimed to assess estimate treatment per
Abstract The purpose of this case report is to describe the occurrence and management an ulnar artery pseudoaneurysm post phlebotomy. A 36-year-old worker with progressively painful nondominant forearm swelling was referred at 4 weeks postphlebotomy. Serial imaging showed expanding proximal pseudoaneurysm. This managed a covered stent in coiling interosseous artery. hematoma evacuated, neurovascular bundle protected muscle coverage. At follow-up, patent, there no distal ischemia....
We aimed to discuss and evaluate the technical success efficacy of ArtVentive endoluminal occlusion system (EOS) device for splenic embolization. A retrospective review was undertaken all patients in whom EOS deployed purpose Data collected by a search artery embolization procedures hospital computer database. reviewed an plug deployed. Patient demographics, aspects procedure follow-up at one month were reviewed. this device. Six underwent with plug. There 5 male 1 female patients; age range...
Blunt trauma to the abdomen resulting in celiac axis injury is uncommon, and we present case of a 28-year-old male pedestrian hit by car. Whole body multi detector computed tomography revealed non-bleeding pseudoaneurysm. The subsequent successful endovascular management described.
Abstract Occurrence of a symptomatic renal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is rare. The authors present the case patient with background Turner's syndrome, hemophilia B, and horseshoe kidney, who presented hematuria was successfully treated endovascular embolization. use microballoon catheter Scepter XC (Microvention, Inc.) to safely embolize feeding arterial supply, using ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymer (Onyx; Medtronic/ev3) has not, authors’ knowledge, previously been described...
