    abstract = "Aim. Feasibility and reliability of the integrated Tele-Radiological
(TRE) and Tele-Pathological (TPE) evaluation of the Cardiac Graft (CG)
on Telemedicine Systems. Material and Methods: Sensitivity-specificity
analysis by a simulation of TRE of CG on 15 MR thoracic images by two
radiologists and of TPE by 20 specialists based on total 100 human CG
digital images, assessing injuries/trauma and lesions. Results:
Integration of TRE and TPE of CG for remote diagnosis showed an accuracy
for: injuries/trauma/hematoma=90.9-100%, and non-neoplastic
lesions=94.3%. Conclusion: Integration of TRE and TPE of CG is feasible
and reliable for Heart Pre-Grafting and Pre-Transplant decision support
and planning."
