The digestive system in the style of the London Underground ‘tube’ map London Tube map of the digestive system. Inspired from the original design by Jack Anderson. "You're trying to get to the liver? See, what you wanna do is take the red line past the stomach, then switch trains at the duodenum. Green line'll take you right there. Oh, you need to get to the appendix after that? Get back on the green line, back to the duodenum, switch to the red southbound, then get off at the caecum station. The purple express goes right to the appendix. Whatever you do, stay off the blue line. It winds ..read more

A brief history of radiology
Radiology Cafe Blog
by Christopher Clarke
3y ago
With radiology being the hottest and most technologically advancing speciality, attracting the attention of many doctors, let us have a brief look at how it all began. Radiology has been around for over a century. It all started when Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered X-rays in 1895. After working for weeks in his lab experimenting on the production of ‘strange rays’, which he referred to as ‘X’, he asked his wife Anna Bertha to lend ‘a hand’, the left one to be precise, which he used to produce the first X-ray image. This is now known as ‘Hand mit Ringen’.(1) Allegedly she exclaimed in fear ..read more

Informing patients about diagnostic imaging: can we do better?
Radiology Cafe Blog
by Christopher Clarke
3y ago
"Does the patient know they are coming down for a scan?" I once got asked by the duty radiologist: “Does the patient know they are coming down for a scan?”. The question was initially puzzling, as it seemed to have an obvious answer… but do we always inform patients appropriately of decisions around diagnostic imaging? Lack of communication between the referring doctor and patient becomes more evident when the patient arrives in the radiology department to have their scan (1). Radiologists and radiographers undertaking the imaging have most likely never seen the patient before. The only ..read more

The battle between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Radiologists

“Gratitude over Fear” Since the golden ages of radiology in the 1970s to the present day, advances have created a significant impact on the role of the radiologist. Today, the 21st century radiologist is central in the delivery of patient care, however the future for many radiologists is regarded as an uphill battle with several factors influencing the course of the journey. A topic that seems to be on the tip of everyone’s tongue when it comes to modern medicine is the evolution of Artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning. Seeing this rapidly developing industry, I do believe that ..read more
