Objectives The 2009 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation without race correction factor is frequently used for an estimate of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and to support a single-sample GFR regime. This study examines whether neural networks offer potential means improve the accuracy estimates using same initial inputs as eGFR. Methods An audit 865 adult examinations serum creatinine measurements between January 2010 2024 was undertaken. Patient sex, age,...
This article focuses on the experiences of nurses undertaking nurse independent prescribing in hospital setting. The challenges and benefits are examined using reflections those involved this initiative.
Estimation of the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) using myocardial perfusion imaging is increasingly used in evaluation coronary artery disease. This study aims to compare effect (i) two commercially available software packages: quantitative gated single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (QGS) and 4DM-SPECT, (ii) prereconstruction filtering, on LVEF quantification.Images from 101 patients were reconstructed AutoCardiac processed QGS 4DM-SPECT. Filtering was performed...
Abstract Lu177‐dotatate (Lutathera™) is a radioactive drug approved for the treatment of adults with gastro‐entero‐pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and predominantly renally excreted. Currently all patients receive 7400 MBq (200 mCi), there are no guidelines treating hemodialysis patients. We measured radioactivity prior to post administration two cycles in patient, radiation exposure staff. reduced standard by 33% first cycle patient fell 40% following postdilution hemodiafiltration started...
[ 75 Se]tauroselcholic acid (SeHCAT) retention measurement provides a noninvasive test for bile diarrhea (BAD); however, it is sensitive to the presence of other radionuclides. Two SeHCAT patients at Royal Free Hospital (RFH) had significant discrepancies between lower photopeak (111–159 keV) and central (242–296 windows, indicating contamination with radionuclide than Selenium. These received lutetium-177 oxodotreotide ( 177 Lu-DOTATATE) therapy 98 151 days before their tests. Traces Lu may...
There have been a number of consequences for radionuclide therapy services arising from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As well as changing ability patients to comply with radiation protection restrictions advice, pandemic has also provided increased motivation transfer day-case or out-patient basis. This is driven by need reduce COVID-19 exposure risk minimising amount time spent in hospital. Additionally, measures radioactive being readmitted hospital are now required and...
[75Se]tauroselcholic acid (SeHCAT) retention studies may be performed using a collimated or uncollimated (intrinsic) gamma camera, with trade-offs between counting sensitivity, collision risk, and stray source influence. In this work, we evaluate the uncertainty in SeHCAT 'outer room' mode, where patient sits stands two metres away from camera face. 768 at Royal Free Hospital were analysed retrospectively, all cases, absolute was found to well within clinically acceptable limit of ±1...
The Ionising Radiation Regulations 2017 requires prior risk assessment calculations and regular environmental monitoring of radiation doses. However, the accuracy assessments is limited by assumptions only provides retrospective evaluation. This particularly challenging in nuclear medicine for areas surrounding radionuclide therapy patient bathroom wastewater pipework. Machine learning (ML) a technique that could be applied to booking records predict dose rates these aid prospective...
