美德开发出远程控制MRI心脏扫描

 
 
一家美国大学和一家医疗影像公司开发的远程控制软件，能够允许不在现场的影像学专家通过因特网操纵核磁共振(MRI)。

这项研究发表在2006年11月《放射学》，是由洛山矶加利福尼亚大学(UCLA)的放射科医生和德国Siemens公司(Erlangen, Germany)共同完成的。研究人员发现，远程扫描的质量比缺乏经验的放射科医生操作的要高，提示这为医疗力量薄弱的医院或者地区提供了一个选择。
 
Remote Control MRI Cardiac Scanning

A U.S. university and a medical imaging company have developed remote-control software that enables an off-site imaging specialist to operate a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit via the Internet.

The study was published in the November 2006 issue of the journal Radiology, and conducted by radiologists from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and Siemens Medical Solutions (Erlangen, Germany). The researchers discovered that the quality of the remote scans were superior to onsite scans by a less experienced technologist, suggesting alternatives for helping facilities or regions with limited medical staff and expertise.
