Imaging is essential for the initial diagnosis and monitoring of the novel coronavirus, which emerged in Wuhan, China. This study aims to assess the insight of radiographers on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected their work routine and if protective measures are applied. A prospective observational study was conducted among radiographers registe...

The Covid-19 crisis continues to profoundly impact on radiotherapy practice in the UK. We explore the views of therapeutic radiographer students on entering their first post in unique circumstances as a means to evaluate the support that may minimise negative impacts on their transition to practitioners. Focus groups were conducted outside of stude...

Realignment knee osteotomy relies on accurate preoperative assessment of coronal alignment. Weightbearing (WB) 'long-leg' (LL) radiographs are the accepted gold-standard investigation, though in practice standard knee radiographs (short leg; SL) and non-weightbearing (NWB) cross-sectional imaging such as computed tomography (CT) scanograms have bee...

The aim of this pilot study was to implement a peer review programme to evaluate MRI images and protocols, with the goal of improving quality and standardising protocols. A plan-do-check-act method of action research was adopted. A checklist was designed and two radiographers scored the images (Optimal, Diagnostic or Suboptimal). A sample of five L...

In mammography it is essential to combine aspects of image quality with compliance with glandular dose levels. The objective of this study was to combine the assessment of the contrast-detail threshold and the mean glandular dose for different target/filter combinations in digital mammography and to indicate the optimal combination through a figure...

Gallstone ileus is a rare pathology, occurring in an estimated 0.5% of cases, which preferentially affect females and the elderly population. This rare pathology is the result of a fistulous connection between the bowel and gallbladder. This connection allows gallstones to pass into the bowel leading to mechanical obstruction. On rare occasions the...

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) to the breast offers the potential for excellent dose conformity with the possibility of integrating a simultaneous boost within the treatment plan. This technique, however, also delivers a low dose to a large amount of healthy tissue. This systematic review aimed to determine if VMAT offers a clinically sign...

The aim of this study was to describe patients', radiographers' and radiography students' experiences of the developed 360° virtual counselling environment (360°VCE) for the coronary computed tomography angiography (cCTA). A descriptive qualitative approach was used. The participants were cCTA patients (n = 10), radiographers (n = 10) and radiograp...
