Television and Practice

Television and Practice To the Editor.— The informative article in Medical News (217:575, 1971) neglected one application of television to medical practice which I feel is of equal significance to those discussed. While the transmission of images by television is a well-accepted technique, the extraction of physiologic data from medical fluoroscopy using image intensifier-television chains may turn out to be the most significant application of television to modern medicine. It is certainly possible at this time to assess accurately pulmonary ventilation and perfusion using this technique, and the analysis of human vascular disease seems equally promising. In no way do I wish to dilute the impact of image transfer through closed circuit television on the practice of medicine. However, this other application does exist and is the focus of a significant amount of current research in both the United States and Europe at this time. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association
