Use of abdominal FAST scanning in first opinion veterinary practice in the UK

In the UK, veterinary patients attend general practice, with a referral system to hospitals with specialist veterinary services if required in complicated cases. Clients are unable to self-refer their pets and the general practice is the first port of call for all preventative, chronic and emergency treatment. Traditionally, general practice also provided its own out-of-hours […]

Management of solid organ trauma

In the last two decades, management of blunt and penetrating solid organ trauma has seen a major transition from operative management (OM) or damage control surgery (DCS) to non-operative management (NOM), guided principally by the haemodynamic stability of the patient. This shift is predominantly due to better knowledge of the natural history of solid organ […]

Interventional radiology in thoracic trauma

Interventional radiology (IR) has a central role in the management of certain injuries arising from both blunt and penetrating thoracic trauma. In this article we focus on blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) and the role of IR in the treatment of this patient cohort. BTAI is rare, accounting for approximately 1.5% of all thoracic trauma; […]

Improving target volume delineation for 3D image-based dosimetry in PRRT

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) using radiolabelled somatostatin analogues is currently the most effective molecular radiotherapy (MRT) treatment for patients who suffer from neuroendocrine tumours (NET) with metastasised disease. In PRRT the treatment is systemic and the most frequent treatment protocol is to administer 7.4GBq of Lu-177 up to four times with a six to […]

Molecular imaging using IgG-TAT based radioimmunoconjugates

Clinical imaging has become a fundamental tool in modern medicine, utilising modalities including CT, MRI, ultrasound, SPECT and PET. The ever-increasing complexity revealed by molecular biology along with the implementation of highly specialised precision therapeutics has created a demand for molecularly targeted imaging devices, also known as molecular imaging.

The contribution of hybrid imaging to radionuclide therapy

Radionuclide therapy is a rapidly evolving field considered a safe and effective targeted approach to treating many types of cancer. Radiation is systemically or locally delivered using pharmaceuticals that either bind preferentially to cancer cells or accumulate at the site of treatment by physiological mechanisms. Almost all radionuclides used in radionuclide therapy emit photons that […]

The EC-BSSD – where are we now?

The European Council Basic Safety and Standards Directive (EC-BSSD) 2013/59/Euratom lays out basic safety standards for radiation protection in radiology departments across EU member states. This was adopted by the European Council for transposition into national member state legislation by early 2018. The main objective of this directive is to protect both the public and […]

Personal dose monitoring requirements in radiology

The only sure way of knowing the radiation dose that staff working with x-rays receive is to measure it directly. Personal dose monitoring is a way of ensuring that staff are not exposed unnecessarily and that radiation protection standards are maintained. Dose limits seldom change as they are based on our understanding of the levels […]
