Exploring factors influencing TVUS acceptance among ethnic minority and white British women in the UK

Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is a pivotal diagnostic tool in gynaecology, offering high accuracy in detecting pelvic pathologies. Despite its clinical efficacy, TVUS faces significant acceptance barriers, particularly among ethnic minority women in the UK. This mixed-methods study investigates cultural, informational and gender-based factors influencing TVUS acceptance across diverse ethnic groups. Twelve women from varied ethnic […]

The ultrasound appearances of non-tubal ectopic pregnancies

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the ultrasound characteristics of non-tubal ectopic pregnancies, which account for approximately five per cent of all ectopic pregnancies. Unlike tubal ectopics, non-tubal variants pose greater diagnostic challenges and carry increased risks of morbidity and mortality due to delayed recognition. The author emphasises the importance of a systematic transvaginal […]

From nuclear medicine to molecular imaging in 40 years

The history of nuclear medicine as a clinical discipline roughly maps on to my lifetime, and that of radiology as a whole on to the lives of my older relatives.My grandmother’s birth (1898) coincides with the Curies’ first isolation of radium, and my mother’s (1936) with the first human studies with cyclotron-produced radionuclides, sodium-24 and […]

Mind the gap: downtime reporting and procurement challenges for radiation and diagnostic equipment in the NHS

Despite current efforts to improve diagnostic and therapeutic equipment availability in the NHS, downtime still poses a challenge, particularly in terms of capacity implications and public service procurement. While data is collected in current reporting systems, service data is not always consistent. This makes it particularly difficult to establish a coherent understanding of equipment downtime […]

From hype to help: delivering real-world clinical value from AI in imaging

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now widely available in clinical imaging, yet its adoption into routine practice has been uneven. This article examines why regulatory clearance alone is insufficient to ensure clinical value and explores the practical considerations required for responsible AI deployment in radiology. Key themes include clinical risk assessment, local validation, explainability, workflow integration […]

Trusting clinical AI starts with understanding the language: a practical guide to the terms every clinical leader should know

This article argues that clinical AI trust is not earned by impressive algorithms, but by disciplined evidence and shared understanding. It begins with ground truth, the reference standard used to judge whether a model is correct. Every performance metric depends on it. If the reference is inconsistent, strong-looking results can still mislead leaders. Because of […]

Posterior fossa tumours in children

Posterior fossa tumours account for a significant proportion of paediatric brain neoplasms, representing up to 60% of solid brain tumours in children. These tumours arise in the infratentorial compartment, encompassing the cerebellum and brainstem, and commonly present with complications such as hydrocephalus. Importantly, the differential diagnosis of posterior fossa tumours in children differs markedly from […]

Imaging appearances in natural death

This article explores the increasing role of post‑mortem CT (PMCT) as an alternative or adjunct to traditional autopsy in cases of suspected natural death. The article explains that while coroners typically request post‑mortem investigations when the medical cause of death is unknown, imaging can often provide sufficient information with less invasiveness, reduced cost and improved […]
