Clinical updates
This issue includes two articles looking
at aspects of diagnostic radiology.
One paper discusses the place of CT
angiography and the contribution of
multidetector CT to the diagnosis of
pulmonary embolism. This complements
the paper on nuclear medicine techniques
published in Volume III, Issue 1. The review
of the diagnosis of acute stroke addresses
the relative roles of CT and MRI. We will
be following up this article with a paper
on the place of interventional radiology in
acute stroke in 2006.
Readers’ views
In this issue, we also report on the results
of a questionnaire designed to gain insight into readers’ perceptions of C2I2
and the topics that they would like to see
covered. The results showed that C2I2 is
well received and that most respondents
consider that the papers are pitched at
the right level. A number of interesting
proposals were made for future papers.
Papers on some of these topics have
already been commissioned for future
issues and the Editorial Board will be
considering how to include others in 2006.
The Editorial Board values all suggestions
and opinions from the readers of C2I2
and would like to thank all those who
responded to the questionnaire.
In this issue…
• Dr Simon Padley and Dr Kapila Jain of
the Royal Brompton Hospital, London,
UK review the use of imaging techniques
to confirm or exclude a diagnosis of
pulmonary embolism
• Dr Imanuel Dzialowski of Alberta, Canada
and Professor Rüdiger von Kummer of
Dresden, Germany discuss the role of
diagnostic radiology in acute stroke
• Dr Riccardo Lencioni of Pisa, Italy
gives an update on the status of
radiofrequency ablation of lung tumours
• A look at the responses to the
readership questionnaire
We hope that you will enjoy reading this
issue of C2I2 and that you will find the
content useful in your clinical practice.
