This B-roll is presented by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) to help news broadcasters produce accurate medical segments involving radiology procedures and treatments.

Slate:

The tape contains footage of patients, radiology professionals, equipment and procedures. Stations are free to use these visuals without attribution of RSNA. Preceding each segment is a brief description of common uses of the illustrated procedure.

Slate:

Computed Tomography (CT) Colonography, commonly called Virtual Colonoscopy

Slate:

The following footage shows a radiologic technologist preparing a patient for virtual colonoscopy and putting him through the CT scanner as another technologist monitors the procedure from the control room.

Slate:

The following footage shows a radiologist reviewing a “fly-through” of normal and abnormal 3-D CT scans of patients’ colons.

Slate:

Computed Tomography (CT) Scan

Slate:

The following footage shows a patient undergoing a computed tomography (CT) procedure, sometimes called CAT scan, with technologists in the control room viewing the imaging output.

Slate

The following footage of newer 64-slice CT technology shows a patient undergoing the procedure with the technologist reviewing the imaging output. This technology allows the radiologist a greater level of manipulation of 3-D clinical images to provide more complete anatomical views.

Slate

These visuals and the clinical images that follow can be used to report on CT scans of the body, chest, abdomen, vascular system and head.

Slate:

3-D Cardiac CT

Slate:

Whole Body CT

Slate:

Carotid CT Angiography

Slate:

Brain CT Angiography

Slate:

Chest CT Using 3-D manipulation software for different views and to remove layers of skin and bone

Slate:

Pulmonary Embolism CT study with layered views

Slate:

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Stent Graft

Slate:

PET/CT

Slate:

The following footage is of the combined technologies of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT). To better assess and locate disease, integrated PET/CT images are superimposed by the computer to match the anatomic content of the CT scan with the metabolic imaging of PET.

Slate:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Brain

Slate:

The following footage shows a radiologist and radiologic technologist preparing a patient for a brain scan via MRI. A small TV screen inside the scanner allows brain stimulation. Brain MRI is the most sensitive technique for detecting abnormalities in brain tissue. MRI is used to examine brain functions such as speech, memory, movements and sensation.

Slate:

The following footage shows a radiologic technologist preparing a patient with the head gear for an MRI exam and moving him through the MR scanner as another technologist monitors the images in the control room.

Slate:

The following footage shows a neuroradiologist reviewing a patient’s functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scans.

Slate:

Abdominal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Slate:

Doppler Ultrasound of the Internal Organs

Slate:

The following footage shows a radiologic technologist performing an internal organ Doppler ultrasound procedure on a patient. The procedure can be used to detect abnormal blood vessels and flow. For liver transplants it can assess blood flow through the portal vein.

Slate:

Interventional Radiology Suite - Catheter Embolization

Slate:

The following footage shows an interventional radiologist and his team in the interventional radiology suite performing a catheter procedure. It shows a close up demonstration of the catheter entering the groin and clinical images in the interventional suite and from the control room.

Slate:

The interventional radiology suite looks similar to a traditional operating room, but the procedures performed in it are less invasive than open surgery.

Slate:

Carotid Stenting

Slate:

The following footage shows a close-up demonstration of a stent and clinical images of a carotid stenting procedure. The demonstration of a stent outside the body shows how its size can be increased to hold vessels open after being inserted inside the body. The clinical images show an actual stent being inserted into a patient’s carotid artery.

Slate:

Chest X-ray

Slate:

Pediatric Chest X-ray

Slate:
