This B-roll is presented by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) to help news
broadcasters produce accurate medical segments involving radiology procedures and treatments.
Slate:
The tape contains footage of patients, radiology professionals, equipment and procedures.
Stations are free to use these visuals without attribution of RSNA.
Preceding each segment is a brief description of common uses of the illustrated procedure.

Computed Tomography (CT) Colonography, commonly called Virtual Colonoscopy
Slate:
The following footage shows a radiologic technologist preparing a patient for virtual
colonoscopy and putting him through the CT scanner as another technologist monitors the
procedure from the control room.
Slate:
The following footage shows a radiologist reviewing a “fly-through” of normal and abnormal 3D CT scans of patients’ colons.

Computed Tomography (CT) Scan
Slate:
Updated 2/5/2016, Page 1 of 4
The following footage shows a patient undergoing a computed tomography (CT) procedure,
sometimes called CAT scan, with technologists in the control room viewing the imaging output.
Slate
The following footage of newer 64-slice CT technology shows a patient undergoing the
procedure with the technologist reviewing the imaging output. This technology allows the
radiologist a greater level of manipulation of 3-D clinical images to provide more complete
anatomical views.
Slate
These visuals and the clinical images that follow can be used to report on CT scans of the body,
chest, abdomen, vascular system and head.
Slate:
3-D Cardiac CT
Slate:
Whole Body CT
Slate:
Carotid CT Angiography
Slate:
Brain CT Angiography
Slate:
Chest CT Using 3-D manipulation software for different views and to remove layers of skin and
bone
Slate:
Pulmonary Embolism CT study with layered views
Slate:
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Stent Graft
Slate:
PET/CT
Updated 2/5/2016, Page 2 of 4
Slate:
The following footage is of the combined technologies of positron emission tomography (PET)
and computed tomography (CT). To better assess and locate disease, integrated PET/CT images
are superimposed by the computer to match the anatomic content of the CT scan with the
metabolic imaging of PET.
Slate:
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Brain
Slate:
The following footage shows a radiologist and radiologic technologist preparing a patient for a
brain scan via MRI. A small TV screen inside the scanner allows brain stimulation. Brain MRI is
the most sensitive technique for detecting abnormalities in brain tissue. MRI is used to examine
brain functions such as speech, memory, movements and sensation.
Slate:
The following footage shows a radiologic technologist preparing a patient with the head gear for
an MRI exam and moving him through the MR scanner as another technologist monitors the
images in the control room.
Slate:
The following footage shows a neuroradiologist reviewing a patient’s functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scans.
Slate:
Abdominal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Slate:
Doppler Ultrasound of the Internal Organs
Slate:
The following footage shows a radiologic technologist performing an internal organ Doppler
ultrasound procedure on a patient. The procedure can be used to detect abnormal blood vessels
and flow. For liver transplants it can assess blood flow through the portal vein.
Slate:
Interventional Radiology Suite - Catheter Embolization
Slate:
Updated 2/5/2016, Page 3 of 4
The following footage shows an interventional radiologist and his team in the interventional
radiology suite performing a catheter procedure. It shows a close up demonstration of the
catheter entering the groin and clinical images in the interventional suite and from the control
room.
Slate:
The interventional radiology suite looks similar to a traditional operating room, but the
procedures performed in it are less invasive than open surgery.
Slate:
Carotid Stenting
Slate:
The following footage shows a close-up demonstration of a stent and clinical images of a carotid
stenting procedure. The demonstration of a stent outside the body shows how its size can be
increased to hold vessels open after being inserted inside the body. The clinical images show an
actual stent being inserted into a patient’s carotid artery.
Slate:
Chest X-ray
Slate:
Pediatric Chest X-ray
Slate:

Portions of this footage were filmed at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, the
University of Chicago Hospitals, Indiana University Hospital in Indianapolis, and the University
of Wisconsin, Madison.
