Comparing Bastion protocols with single bolus multi-phase protocols in trauma patients receiving whole body CT

Major trauma typically causes serious harm to a person, often involving catastrophic haemorrhages and complex fractures, and is the leading cause of death in people under the age of 45. While penetrating trauma requires faster intervention, blunt force trauma is most commonly associated with diagnostic imaging. Major trauma causes life-threatening injuries, with 15,000 deaths annually. […]

SABR: the new kid on the block for treatment of ventricular tachycardia?

Sudden cardiac death is responsible for 4-5 million annual deaths worldwide. The primary cause of sudden cardiac death is ventricular tachycardia (VT), a cardiac arrhythmia commonly seen in patients with structural heart disease and impaired ventricular function. Conventional VT treatment approaches include antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD), invasive catheter ablation and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). While these […]

Clinical implementation of an MR-Sim in radiotherapy

MRI has had an emerging role in radiotherapy (RT) for a number of years, providing improved visualisation of the tumour and organs at risk (OAR) when compared with CT to improve contouring accuracy. A project team was established in 2016 to procure an MRI scanner designed specifically for RT planning to improve treatment accuracy. MRI […]

World-class radiotherapy in the UK: right patient, right treatment, right time

Cancer patients in the UK face a growing crisis in cancer care, with record high waiting times for treatment becoming normal. This delay is alarming, as every four weeks of delay in cancer treatment can lead to a 10% increase in mortality for some cancers. The association between delay and increased mortality may be even […]

Emergency knee radiographs

Acute knee injury is very common. Plain films are commonly requested and most bony injuries are fairly obvious. However, the changes may be subtle and small bony avulsions may be a clue to more serious injury. Many knee injuries involve soft tissue structures and, where significant, may require MRI for investigation. To access the full […]

An experiment in simulation training for diagnostic radiology on-call at Severn Deanery

Pressures on radiology training are continually mounting, with increasing numbers of trainees, already busy departments and increasing restrictions on study budgets. Simulation training is widely used in medical training and aims to replicate realistic scenarios with real-world challenges in a safe space and with direct support to enhance the educational benefit to those involved. This […]

Top tips for imaging in hyperacute stroke

Acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is the second leading cause of death and the third cause of death and disability worldwide. The estimated global cost of stroke is over $720 billion. In the UK, the incidence of stroke is over 110,000 and the prevalence of stroke is predicted to increase by 120% by 2035. Hyperacute stroke […]

Imaging and biopsy strategies for sinonasal tumours

Cross-sectional imaging alongside endoscopy is central to the multidisciplinary evaluation of sinonasal pathologies and is often fundamental in differentiating both benign and malignant tumours from the more common inflammatory or infective entities such as primary chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). In addition to determining disease extent in relation to neighbouring vital craniofacial structures, imaging is key in […]
