IntroductionSimulation forms a key element of undergraduate Radiography education as it enables students to develop their clinical skills in safe environment. In this study, an immersive three-dimensional (3D) virtual radiography simulation tool was piloted curriculum and user feedback retrieved.MethodsThe 3D by Virtual Medical Coaching Ltd introduced first year (n = 105). This technology guided through comprehensive process learning anatomy, radiographic positioning pathology. Students then...
The detection of unstable atherosclerosis remains elusive. Intraplaque myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity causes plaque destabilization in preclinical models, holding promise for clinical translation as a novel imaging biomarker. purpose this study was to assess whether MPO is greater human plaques, how relates cardiovascular events and current/emerging non-invasive techniques. Thirty-one carotid endarterectomy specimens 12 coronary trees were collected. determined 88 individual samples through...
The exploration of Advanced Practice (AP) in both diagnostic and therapeutic radiography has become a prominent topic discussion within the radiographic community, prompting an investigation into radiographers' perceptions current global status advanced roles. This study aimed collect data on radiation therapy AP career paths, understand practice at European Congress Radiology (ECR) 2020.
The Oxford Carotid Stenosis tool (OCST) and Essen Stroke Risk Score (ESRS) are validated to predict recurrent stroke in patients with without carotid stenosis. Symptomatic Atheroma Inflammation Lumen stenosis (SCAIL) score combines plaque inflammation on fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (18FDG-PET). We compared SCAIL OCST ESRS ipsilateral recurrence symptomatic stenosis.We pooled three prospective cohort studies of recent (<30 days) non-severe ischaemic stroke/TIA internal...
Abstract Aims Unstable atherosclerotic plaques have increased activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO). We examined whether molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) intraplaque MPO predicts future atherothrombosis in rabbits and correlates with ruptured human atheroma. Methods results Plaque was assessed vivo (n = 12) using the MPO-gadolinium (Gd) probe at 8 12 weeks after induction atherosclerosis before pharmacological triggering atherothrombosis. Excised were used to confirm by liquid...
Purpose: This study aims at establishing the optimum x-ray energy for synchrotron acquired propagation-based computed tomography (PB-CT) images to obtain highest radiological image quality of breast mastectomy samples. It also examines correlation between objective physical measures with subjective human observer scores model factors impacting visual determinants quality. Approach: Thirty samples were scanned Australian Synchrotron's Imaging and Medical Beamline. Samples energies 26, 28, 30,...
Traditionally anatomy teaching has involved both learning from cadaveric dissection and formal lectures. The aim of our project was to introduce another dimension students’ experiences through the medium radiology. This presents donor specific radiographic profiles University College Dublin's cadavers for educational purposes. An interactive viewing platform Xperience developed vividly display these non‐generic images. Comprehensive were created by adding medical histories consultant...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Private grant(s) and/or Sponsorship. Main source(s): National Health & Medical Research Council - Postgraduate Scholarship Heart Foundation PhD University New South Wales RTP Introduction Intraplaque MPO activity is associated with unstable atherosclerosis and elevated following acute cardiovascular events. Imaging probes for the detection exist, including MPO-Gd, a gadolinium-based probe activated retained in presence...
Abstract Background Unstable atherosclerotic plaque is characterized by increased myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. As unstable vulnerable to disruption and ensuing thrombosis, we examined whether MPO activity predicts atherothrombosis in a pre-clinical model correlates with ruptured human atheroma. Methods To assess if atherothrombosis, rabbits were subjected aortic endothelial denudation, cholesterol feeding, vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of using MPO-Gd (gadolinium), followed...
Abstract Rationale and objectives Breast cancer represents the leading cause of death from in women worldwide. Early detection breast tumours improves prognosis survival rate. Propagation-based phase-contrast computed tomography (PB-CT) is a technique that uses refraction absorption X-ray to produce images for clinical applications. This study compared performance photon-counting flat-panel detectors PB-CT imaging using synchrotron radiation. Materials methods Mastectomy specimens underwent...
Abstract Objective The presence of atherosclerotic plaque components such as lipid rich necrotic core and intraplaque haemorrhage is associated with increased vulnerability, may be used to stratify the risk future cerebrovascular events. Our aim was investigate relationship between selected carotid imaged CTA, patient characteristics, clinical outcomes. Methods Symptomatic patients underwent CTA part BIOVASC study. Images were analysed for volume composition a semi-automatic Hounsfield Unit...
