Introduction: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging and radiotherapy has been met with both scepticism excitement. However, clinical integration AI is already well-underway. Many authors have recently reported on the knowledge perceptions radiologists/medical staff students however there a paucity information regarding radiographers. Published literature agrees that likely to significant impact radiology practice. As radiographers are at forefront service delivery, an...
Objectives: Radiographers are key patient-facing healthcare professionals involved in many aspects of patient care. The working patterns and professional practice the radiography workforce (RW) has been altered during COVID-19 pandemic. This survey aimed to assess impact pandemic on United Kingdom (UK). Methods: An online cross-sectional UK RW was performed (March 25th April 26th, 2020). sought information regarding 1. Demographics 2. Impact 3. Infection prevention/control 4. related stress....
The objectives of this study were to quantify the ionizing radiation exposure patient and operator during radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation estimate risks associated with exposure. consisted 50 RF procedures, all performed in same electrophysiology laboratory. Occupational dose two cardiologists who procedures was measured using film badges extremity thermoluminescent dosemeters (TLDs). Absorbed patients' skin TLDs. Dose-area product (DAP) also measured. effective less than 0.15 mSv per...
IntroductionRadiographer reporting is accepted practice in the UK. With a national shortage of radiographers and radiologists, artificial intelligence (AI) support may help minimise backlog unreported images. Modern AI not well understood by human end-users. This have ethical implications impact trust these systems, due to over- under-reliance. study investigates perceptions about AI, gathers information explain how they interact with future identifies features perceived as necessary for...
Background Person-centred healthcare focuses on placing the beliefs and values of service users at centre decision-making creating context for practitioners to do this effectively. Measuring outcomes arising from person-centred practices is complex challenging often adopts multiple perspectives approaches. Few measurement frameworks are grounded in an explicit theoretical framework. Aims In study reported paper, aim was develop a valid reliable instrument measure experience care by...
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on radiography services globally. reshaping of service delivery continues to patient management and the experience workforce should be evaluated determine how effective can maintained in ongoing post-pandemic world.A mixed methods approach was adopted. Questionnaires, designed using Qualtrics (Qualtrics, Provo, UT) online survey software, were used radiographers throughout Northern Ireland (NI). Semi-structured interviews conducted with...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been increasingly integrated into healthcare settings, including the radiology department to aid radiographic image interpretation, reporting by radiographers. Trust cited as a barrier effective clinical implementation of AI. Appropriating trust will be important in future with AI ensure ethical use these systems for benefit patient, clinician and health services. Means explainable AI, such heatmaps have proposed increase transparency elucidating which parts...
Adapting radiotherapy services with workforce innovation using skills-mix or task-shifting optimises resources, supporting current and future demands. Advanced practitioners (APs) work at a different level of practice (beyond initial registration) across four pillars: clinical practice, leadership management, education, research. There is limited cross-country research on the advanced therapeutic radiographers/radiation therapists (TR/RTTs), particularly in Europe. This study aimed to...
Coronavirus disease 2019 has impacted upon the role and safety of healthcare workers, with potential to have a lasting effect on their wellbeing. Limited research been conducted during previous pandemics exploring how student workers are as they study train for professional careers.The aim current was examine specific impact COVID-19 academic, clinical personal experiences students.Undergraduate students across three year groups within School Health Sciences at Ulster University completed...
AI is becoming more prevalent in healthcare and predicted to be further integrated into workflows ease the pressure on an already stretched service. The National Health Service UK has prioritised Digital health as part of its Long-Term Plan. Few studies have examined human interaction with such systems healthcare, despite reports biases being present use other technologically advanced fields, finance aviation. Understanding needed how certain user characteristics may impact radiographers...
