Composite DICOM image for measurement of femoral and tibial angle of torsions

The accurate measurement of tibial and femoral angles of torsion plays an important role in evaluating torsional deformities of the lower limbs. Quantifying the severity of abnormal bone rotation helps guide treatment decisions, including the potential need for derotational osteotomy procedures. Currently, CT is considered the gold standard for measuring torsional angles related to deformities […]

The current use of 3D printing in radiotherapy

After many years, 3D printing is very well established in industry and some medical applications. Not only does it play a major role in component development and prototype design but there is now the industrial production of components, known as additive manufacturing. The complexity of printers and the range of materials is extensive; plastics, powder, […]

Second-look ultrasound after MRI

The use of MRI to stage breast cancer and its use as a screening tool in the very high risk (VHR) screening cohort have increased hugely over the past 15 years. This has been driven partly by the increasing range of breast conserving surgical techniques that are available. Recalling patients back to ultrasound for further […]

Wire-free localisation techniques for impalpable breast lesions

The mainstay of treatment for most breast cancers is breast conserving surgery. Impalpable breast lesions usually require image-guided localisation in advance of surgery, which facilitates the surgeon in identifying the target intraoperatively, allowing the area of disease to be excised with clear margins, while also ensuring that excess normal tissue is not removed. In this […]

Exploring whether FAST MRI could detect aggressive breast cancers earlier than mammography

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. Delays to breast cancer surgery as short as four weeks cost lives because treatments are effective and early detection improves survival. Early detection also makes it less likely that a mastectomy or chemotherapy are needed. The NHS population-risk screening programme offers women aged 50-70 a […]

Advances in radiotherapy delivery in hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies

The role of targeted radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) is constantly evolving. While there is uniform agreement across guidelines that patients with good performance status should receive chemotherapy as their first line of treatment, there is no consensus on how to manage patients with localised disease who do not have sufficient […]

Setting up an advanced clinical practice training programme in non-surgical oncology

The workforce crisis in non-surgical oncology is well recognised; The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) Clinical Oncology Workforce Census 2022 estimates a 25% shortfall in the consultant oncologist workforce by 2027. The demand continues to increase with a rising incidence of cancer, technological advances in radiotherapy planning and delivery, and new indications for systemic and […]
