Automatic injectors for radiotracer administration in PET: a beneficial contribution to radiation protection

The main task of radiation protection is to ensure that the received radiation exposure is restricted to a minimum, thereby protecting everybody in the department. The European Association of Nuclear Medicine procedure guidelines for 18F-FDG PETCT tumour imaging have outlined procedural steps for both manual and automatic administration techniques. Recent data on occupational exposure from […]

Radiographer-led cardiac CT acquisition service

There is growing demand for non-invasive cardiac imaging and in particular CT coronary angiography (CTCA). CTCA is recommended as a first-line investigation in coronary imaging by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) for inpatients with new onset chest pain suspected to be of cardiac origin. The guidance has dramatically increased the demand on CT […]

CT urography – a practical guide

The constituent organs of the urinary system – the kidneys, ureters and bladder (KUB) – are not readily amenable to clinical examination. Symptoms such as flank pain, urinary hesitancy or frank haematuria, and signs such as persistent non-visible haematuria and acute kidney injury, all require further investigation. Renal tract stones, infection and cancer are the […]

Making best use of healthcare data

Better use of healthcare data will reduce repetitive tasks in direct patient care and fuel secondary uses of data in clinical research, AI and machine learning. In this article, Graham King of annalise.ai argues for getting data right at the source, having better mechanisms to transfer it and agreeing a set of terminologies.

The role of extended reality in training for CT-guided procedures

Surgeon William Halsted’s model of ‘see one, do one, teach one’ has long been the blueprint in medicine when it comes to obtaining proficiency in procedural skills. Although it still forms the basis of medical training to this day, it has been shown to be more effective when combined with other forms of teaching methodologies. […]

Introducing the new Ultrasound Infection Prevention Toolkit

With the increased use of ultrasound technology within healthcare settings, the potential risk of passing on infections is increased. It is important to see where this fits into infection prevention. In 1957 Earle Spaulding of Temple University wrote a paper on disinfection of surgical instruments. In it he proposed “a strategy for sterilisation or disinfection […]

The basics of lung ultrasound

In 2008 Daniel Lichtenstein demonstrated the diagnostic capabilities of lung ultrasound in the breathless patient. More recently the COVID-19 pandemic has increased awareness and uptake of this bedside imaging modality. It has been shown to out-perform chest radiography in the identification of specific lung abnormalities and is effectively performed at the bedside usually by the […]
