Multi-disciplinary approach Example 1: Trauma Radiologist is a member of the trauma team FAST ultrasound, x-ray thorax/ pelvis evaluation
Multi-disciplinary approach Example 2: Stroke team Cooperation neurologist on call- radiologist Thrombolysis team alarm Radiologist present at lab when CT examination starts
Multi-disciplinary approach Example 3: Acute care internal medicine Radiographers with alarm «medisinsk pasient» Radiologist on call gets chest x-ray right into RIS- PACS with «red flag»-line Often respiratory or cardiac problems On demand: ultrasound performed in emergency room
Other common diagnostic issues CT and x-ray after treatment for myocardial infarct / PCI Diagnostic imaging of neonates and children- close contact to pediatricians
Outpatient clinic in downtown Oslo ( Legevakten ) -Run by Oslo municipality -Performing x-ray and some CT exams -Chest / abdomen/ MSK x-ray reports on demand -When ultrasound needed (DVT) pat. to Ullevål
Head/ neck CT examinations at Legevakten : reported by radiologist on call Ullevål Major pathological findings: Radiologist informes nevrosurgeon on call. Patient transfer to Ullevål.
