Abstract Objectives Radiographers use advanced medical imaging and radiotherapy (MIRT) equipment. They are also a digitally mature resilient workforce in healthcare. Artificial intelligence is already changing their clinical practice roles data acquisition, post-processing, workflow management. It therefore vital to understand the impact of AI on careers, professional identity radiographers, as key stakeholders digital transformation healthcare within ecosystem. Methods A European...
Natural hazards, including hurricanes and earthquakes, can escalate into catastrophic societal events due to the destruction of built environment. To minimize impact such hazards on vulnerable communities, civil infrastructure must be designed with performance criteria that prioritize public safety ensure continuous operation. The National Science Foundation funded Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) program focuses advancing development resilient infrastructure. NHERI Lehigh...
Autistic individuals might undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination for clinical concerns or research. Increased sensory stimulation, lack of appropriate environmental adjustments, streamlined communication in the MRI suite may pose challenges to autistic patients and render scans inaccessible. This study aimed at (i) exploring scan experiences adults United Kingdom; (ii) identifying barriers enablers toward successful safe examinations; (iii) assessing individuals'...
Abstract Background Autistic individuals encounter numerous barriers in accessing healthcare, including communication difficulties, sensory sensitivities, and a lack of appropriate adjustments. These issues are particularly acute during MRI scans, which involve confined spaces, loud noises, the necessity to remain still. There remains no unified approach preparing autistic for procedures. Methods A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with parents carers UK explore their experiences,...
Artificial intelligence (AI) in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) can be used to improve image quality when it is useful reduce the injected activity or acquisition time. Particular attention must paid ensure that users adopt this technological innovation outcomes improved by its use. The aim of study was identify aspects need analysed and discussed implement an AI denoising PET/CT algorithm clinical practice, based on representations Nuclear Medicine Technologists...
To characterise the mammography technique used in breast cancer screening programmes for implants (BI) and to identify if image quality (IQ) criteria available literature are applicable BI imaging.The study was conducted two phases: review find IQ combining keywords several sources; assessment of 1207 mammograms using that identified previously see they were achieved or not. An observation grid collect information about positioning, beam energy, compression force, exposure mode. Descriptive...
This study aims to explore current challenges in mammography education from the perspectives of radiography teachers, mentors and students.A qualitative including two focus groups interviews, with teachers/mentors (n = 5) student radiographers exploring their on today. The content analysis methodology proposed by Graneheim Lundman was applied interviews.Three main categories were identified, each subcategories identified as: (1) Building Bridges; Applying Theoretical knowledge Practice,...
To determine the accuracy of synchrotron radiation computed tomography (CT) for measurement stent wire diameters in vitro simulation endovascular aneurysm repair by four different types grafts when compared to conventional CT images.This study was performed using an aorta model with implantation aortic treatment thoracoabdominal and abdominal aneurysms. The scanned beam energies ranging from 60 90 keV 10 increment at each scan spatial resolution 41.6 µm per pixel. Stent were measured top...
This pilot study aimed to characterize and compare radiographers' mammography practice, including quality control continuous professional development in five European countries.Online survey was performed collect data regarding participants' profile, institution's development. The questionnaire sent clinical radiographers working Estonia, Finland, Norway, Portugal Switzerland. Descriptive statistical subgroup analyzes were performed.The amount of returned questionnaires 140. Most respondents...
Abstract Background To investigate lateral lumbar spine radiography technical parameters for reduction of effective dose whilst maintaining image quality (IQ). Methods Thirty-six radiograms an anthropomorphic phantom were acquired using different exposure parameters: source-to-detector distance (SDD) (100, 130 or 150 cm), tube potential (75, 85 95 kVp), current × time product (4.5, 9, 18 mAs) and additional copper (Cu) filter (no filter, 0.1-, 0.2-, 0.3-mm thickness. IQ was assessed...
The Radiography Research Ethics Standards for Europe (RRESFE) project aims to provide a cross-sectional snapshot of current research ethics systems, processes, and awareness such, across together with identifying the associated challenges, education, training needs.A online survey targeting radiography researchers in was conducted. Data collection took place between April 26 July 12, 2021, using snowball sampling approach. Descriptive analytical statistics were used identify trends...
This study aims to identify European radiographers' challenges in clinical performance mammography and the main areas of that require more better training.An extensive search was performed relevant studies focused on practice, education training published between January 2010 December 2015 English language. The data were analysed by using deductive thematic analysis.A total 27 full text articles read, evaluating their quality. Sixteen out finally selected for this integrative review....
