The diagnosis of prostate cancer has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years, with MRI now at the forefront of the diagnostic pathway. Several high profile recent trials including the UK-led PROMIS and PRECISION studies have established the performance advantage of MRI over the traditional work-up with systematic transrectal biopsy. Leading on from this, the […]

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) occurs when the blood vessels carrying blood to the legs and feet become narrowed or blocked. It becomes more common with age, affecting to some degree about one in five people aged over 60. The most common cause is atherosclerotic disease with risk factors such as cigarette smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia and […]

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 3% of all adult cancers with an estimated 12.1 new cases per year for 100,000 of population in the western world. The incidence rate of sporadic RCC has increased in the last two decades, mainly due to the increased use of cross-sectional imaging but also due to obesity […]

Stroke is the fourth highest cause of death and leading cause of disability in the UK affecting one in six men and one in five women at least once in their lifetime. Mortality from stroke has fallen by approximately 50% in the last 15 years but approximately two-thirds of survivors suffer a disability. Disability, loss […]

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) or 3D mammography is an advanced form of mammography that uses multiple low dose x-ray system and computer reconstructions to create 3D images of the breast. This is achieved by moving the x-ray tube in an arc while making a series of exposures with the overall dose comparable to a conventional […]

The clinical demand for MRI in the investigation of patients with breast disease is rising. There is an increasing reliance on the imaging technique by the surgical team in planning operative techniques due to the advantages it offers over conventional imaging. With the advent of more refined oncoplastic surgical techniques, increasingly precise radiotherapy and targeted […]

In human medicine, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evolved from being a uniquely research tool into general clinical use in the early 1990s. From that point the number of scanners in clinical use in UK hospitals has grown immensely. As a result, members of the public are now as familiar with MRI as they are with […]

Increasing numbers of veterinary practices are beginning to understand the value of employing a radiographer to perform advanced diagnostic imaging. The availability of CT is rapidly increasing, along with MRI. Most UK veterinary practices have x-ray provision and the majority have now ‘gone digital’ with computed or direct digital radiography in use. This is opening […]
