Video Summary
In the video, Dr. Mike Stagner, a cardiovascular radiologist, discusses his role in reading vascular CT and MRI scans. He explains that he works at a facility with a combined reading room for nuclear cardiology, cardiac MRI, cardiac CT, and vascular CT and MRI. Dr. Stagner emphasizes the importance of looking for incidental findings and having a systematic approach to reviewing structures. He discusses the specific order in which he reviews structures, starting with the airway and mediastinum, then moving on to the abdomen and chest wall. He also explains the importance of using appropriate algorithms and window width and level settings for different structures of interest. Dr. Stagner provides examples and images of various findings, such as significant extracardiac findings, thyroid nodules, bronchiectasis, pericardial effusion, pulmonary nodules, lung consolidation, pulmonary fibrosis, pleural plaques, liver lesions, adrenal nodules, kidney hydronephrosis, and breast calcifications. He highlights the need for further evaluation and follow-up in some cases, and explains the Feissner Society criteria for evaluating pulmonary nodules. Overall, Dr. Stagner emphasizes the importance of conducting thorough reviews of medical imaging scans to detect and evaluate potential abnormalities.
