Worldwide breast cancer is the most common female cancer; in the West one in eight women eventually develop the disease. However the mortality rate has steadily decreased in recent decades, in large part due to improved screening programmes and earlier detection. The current gold standard screening tool is mammography, but in 2011 the FDA approved the first Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) system, and this or similar systems are now available in a limited number of Western hospitals, generating studies to compare the effectiveness of the two imaging modalities.
Healthcare professionals are cognizant with the limitations of mammography, particularly for imaging dense breasts. X-rays of each breast from different angles can only provide a 2D image of a 3D structure, and normal breast tissue can thus mask a tumour. In addition false positive results augment both patient anxiety and hospital workload. And patients are well aware (even if many male health professionals are not) that the compression necessary for allowing the whole breast to be adequately viewed during mammography is not merely
Objective:
To review delirium screening tools available for use in the adult ICU and PICU, to review evidence-based delirium screening implementation, and to discuss common pitfalls encountered during delirium screening in the ICU.
Data Sources:
Review of delirium screening
literature and expert opinion
Results:
Over the past decade, tools specifically designed for use in critically ill adults and children have been developed and validated. Delirium screening has been effectively implemented across many ICU settings. Keys to effective implementation include addressing barriers to routine screening, multifaceted training such as lectures, case-based scenarios, one-on-one teaching, and real-time feedback of delirium screening, and interdisciplinary communication through discussion of a patient
Although many patients still associate the imaging department of a hospital with the frontiers of medicine, the discipline is nearly 120 years old.
The effort to set quality standards for modern CT and MRI systems are inspired by experience with older imaging technologies, especially X-rays. In general, safety issues remain the focus for lawmakers, while recognized professional organisations ensure that quality control efforts remain up to date with ever-changing technologies. Top professional bodies usually function in such capacities under a legislative umbrella. For example, the American College of Radiology (ACR) has a mandate from the US Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA); it also seeks to ensure implementation of both safety and quality programs at the imaging facilities of accredited healthcare providers.
