Abstract

The intensive care unit (lCU) has a place today in every medical center in charge of emergencies. It is often a multidisciplinary division that collaborates closely with the radiology department, while specific requirements are fulfilled: during the radiological investigation care has to be taken regarding the full functioning of the monitoring and life-support devices, and patient transfer from the ICU to the radiology department should be made safely while treatment and monitoring are pursued during the transfer.
