TODO - Aim: Feasibility and reliability assessment of the integrated
Tele-Radiological (TRE) and Tele-Pathological (TPE) evaluation of the
Pulmonary Graft (PG) on Telemedicine Systems, in Lung Transplant (LT).
Material and Methods: Sensitivity-specificity by simulating TRE of PG on
15 MR thoracic images by two radiologists and TPE by 20 specialists
based on a total of 100 human PG digital images. Results: Integration of
TRE and TPE of PG showed an accuracy of 94.1% for hematomas and 97.1%
for neoplastic identification. Conclusion: Integrated TRE and TPE of PG
is feasible and reliable for reducing the rate of injured and diseased
PG in LT.
