8:30 a.m. #43 Lets go to the video: remote review of CT scans appears reliable. Neurologists with expertise in stroke can reliably and accurately read acute stroke computer tomography (CT) scans of the head via teleradiology to determine if a patient is a candidate for thrombolytic therapy, researchers found in the TeleRadiology Assessment of CTs Online Reliability Study (TRACTORS). Teleradiology uses an interactive video system that allows medical information to be exchanged from one site to another. It is a reliable and valid method for reading acute head CT images to evaluate stroke patients for thrombolytic therapy. Researchers reviewed consecutive head CTs obtained during evaluation of acute stroke patients at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Two neurologists with specialized stroke training were allowed three minutes to analyze each of 54 acute stroke head CT scans to determine if the patients had suffered ischemic stroke and were eligible to receive thrombolysis. Half the scans were analyzed the traditional way using a light board and half by using teleradiology. The stroke neurologists evaluations were compared to those of the neuroradiologist who made the original evaluations when the patients came to the hospital. The stroke neurologists correctly identified all thrombolytic-eligible ischemic strokes and nonthrombolytic-eligible hemorrhagic strokes.
