Introducing positron emission particle tracking into the biomedical field

Positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) is an imaging methodology that offers high resolution visualisation on the trajectory of a single radiolabelled particle as it moves within a given system. Diverging from PET, where g-rays from positron annihilation serve to image radiolabelled tracers (radiopharmaceuticals), PEPT leverages the fact that all emitted photons originate from a singular […]

Total body PET: leveraging new technology and UK infrastructure to help improve patient outcomes

PET is a compelling technology in the fight against some of the most common causes of death. PET scanners sensitively measure biological and biochemical processes in the body by measuring the location of radioactive molecules (radiotracers) following their injection into patients. However, traditional PET technologies can only image part of the body, meaning that multiple […]

Important pickups in trauma imaging

Early whole body trauma CT is indicated in initial assessment of blunt trauma patients with concern about possible significant injury. The primary goal of trauma imaging is to identify life-threatening conditions rapidly and accurately, in order to guide the appropriate management of patients. This article reviews clinically important CT findings that are important not to […]

Emergency neurovascular imaging

Neurovascular imaging practices have evolved significantly over recent years, particularly with the advances in AI. This synopsis aims to provide the reader with an overview of the current imaging techniques in the diagnosis and management of emergency neurovascular conditions. The most common neurovascular emergency is stroke (ischaemic and haemorrhagic), whereas neurovascular injuries (traumatic and iatrogenic) […]

Autocontouring for heart sparing lung radiotherapy

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the UK and radiotherapy is an important treatment option, particularly for patients who are not well enough to have surgery. The importance of dose to the heart from lung radiotherapy is increasingly recognised. Recent research from our group at Manchester shows that giving radiation to […]

Cone beam CT-guided online adaptive radiotherapy

Online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) is becoming more commonplace, initially with MR-guided capabilities, and now with cone beam CT (CBCT)-guided adaptive machines across the UK. There are more than 100 Varian Ethos machines installed globally, which provide CBCT-guided capabilities. At Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust we are soon to have our second Ethos machine installed at […]

AHP return to practice

There is a national crisis of radiographers missing from practice that needs to be addressed. The temporary Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) register set up during the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated that there are many radiographers in England with the potential and desire to return to practice. It is essential that we are proactive in […]

Radioiodine ablation – current trends and controversies

Management for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has seen significant changes over the last decade. The approach is dramatically shifting to personalised based rational decisions. This includes, but is not limited to, the extent of surgery, active surveillance in low risk very limited disease, radioiodine (RAI) ablation or no ablation after initial surgery, low iodine activity […]
