This year’s recipient of the BIR/Toshiba Mayneord Award, Professor Adrian Dixon delivered the keynote eponymous lecture ‘Has imaging become too effective?’ at UKRC to a packed audience of radiologists, radiographers and other healthcare professionals.

Professor Dixon is Emeritus Professor of Radiology at the University of Cambridge.  He has a worldwide reputation as an academic and a radiologist, has published extensively on body and musculoskeletal CT and MRI and was one of the early pioneers of these modalities.

Professor Dixon spoke about the huge milestones achieved during his career but warned that, because imaging is now so effective, there is a risk of “over imaging” the patient.  Departments are stretched and with increasing workloads there is a shortage of radiography and radiology personnel.
