According to The American Journal of Roentgenology “with the use of voice recognition‚ radiology reports are available to referring physicians in seconds” (para 5). Expediting the turnaround of radiology reports found “this has decreased the number of times radiologists get interrupted from physicians for results” (Seltzer et al. 893). Consequently‚ hospitals that use voice recognition have phased-out

Abusive head trauma (AHT) is the most common finding of NAI leading to death in children under 1 year old (22). Even a low suspicion of AHT should require appropriate follow-up imaging given the morbidity and mortality traumatic intracranial injury (22). Injuries includes collision with a stationary object‚ direct impact to the head‚ and alternating acceleration and deceleration (22). Infants are particularly at risk for traumatic brain injury as a result of being shaken due to the relative weight

MRI Background info Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) otherwise known as Magnetic resonance tomography (1) is a scan that uses a magnetic field‚ radio wave‚ and computer‚ to produce an image of an individual internal structure (Anatomy) (2). The body contains more than 50% of water. MRI uses super strong Magnetic field to align hydrogen nuclei or protons found in water (H2O) all over the body (1‚3‚ &‚ 4). When a person is placed into the scanning machine hydrogen nuclei or protons align
