Networked ICD-9 coding system for a radiology department.

OBJECTIVE. We describe a networked database system to implement a departmental list of International Classification of Diseases, 9th edition (ICD-9) codes for use by reporting radiologists. CONCLUSION. Our system is reliable, easy to use, and has increased coding accuracy and speed. In-house development allowed designing a system to specifically address the needs of the radiology group. The resulting list of codes accurately reflects the current practice environment and grows dynamically to suit changing needs.

Circumvallate placenta: sonographic diagnosis.

We prospectively identified 12 patients who had a shelf at the margin of the placenta consistent with the diagnosis of circumvallate placenta. Ten patients were followed to delivery and three placentas were sent for pathologic analysis. Circumvallate placenta was diagnosed by gross inspection in all three but was confirmed by microscopic analysis in only two. One of these patients had placental abruption and cesarean delivery for fetal distress at 27 weeks. Circumvallate placenta is another cause of uterine band, sheet, or shelf. The finding can be associated with a normal obstetric outcome but may predispose to placental complications.
