Imaging individuals with obesity
Medical imaging is integral to the diagnosis and management of the co-morbidities associated with obesity. While individuals with obesity are increasingly imaged within Medical Radiation Science practice, identifying and understanding the challenges of imaging patients with obesity is an essential requirement for all Medical Radiation Practitioners (MRPs). This Continuing Medical Education article introduces key concepts related to imaging this patient group, explores technical considerations and system limitations within planar radiography, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine (NM), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...

A practical guide for paediatric diagnostic reference levels (PiDRLs)
This guide was designed to provide a foundation for developing paediatric diagnostic reference levels (PiDRLs) for conventional radiography. In principle, the calculation of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) is recommended for diagnostic x-ray imaging examinations for radiosensitive patients, such as paediatric patients. PiDRLs are fundamentally important when considering dose optimisation in diagnostic radiology, computed tomography and interventional radiology for paediatric patients. DRLs can assist to point to non-optimised practices and the improvement of paediatric dose optimisation.

Assessment of Medical Students' Knowledge of Imaging Methods for Bone Sarcomas
AbstractCancer is a leading cause of death in Brazil and worldwide. However, Brazilian medical education fails to include oncology as an essential topic. This creates a gap between the health status of the population and medical education. Bone sarcomas fall into both the group of malignant neoplasms and rare diseases and are thus doubly influenced by misinformation. To assess medical students' knowledge of imaging diagnostic methods for bone sarcomas. A cross-sectional, quantitative study was undertaken by obtaining the responses of medical students to a questionnaire containing radiographic images and questions about the...

Imaging in anatomy: a comparison of imaging techniques in embalmed human cadavers
Conclusion: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have a superior image quality in comparison to ultrasound and radiography and offer suitable methods for imaging embalmed human cadavers as a valuable addition to the dissection course.

Effect of virtual versus traditional education on theoretical knowledge and reporting skills of dental students in radiographic interpretation of bony lesions of the jaw
This study aimed to compare the effect of virtual and traditional education on theoretical knowledge and reporting skills of dental students in radiographic interpretation of bony lesions of the jaw.

A hinting strategy for online learning of radiograph interpretation by medical students
ConclusionsAlthough the implemented hinting strategy did result in students spending more time considering a proportion of the cases, overall it was not effective in improving student performance.

Non ‐radiologist perception of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostic medical imaging reports
ConclusionA hybrid AI-generated radiologist-confirmed method of image reporting may be the ideal way of integrating AI into clinical practice based on the perception of our referring non-radiologist medical colleagues. Formal guidelines on medicolegal responsibility and data privacy should be established prior to utilising AI in the clinical setting.

Assessment of the level of agreement in the interpretation of plain radiographs of lumbar spondylosis among clinical physiotherapists in Ghana
Conclusions: The physiotherapists' skills fall short of expectation for interpreting PFR of patients with lumbar spondylosis. The levels of agreement with radiologist's interpretation have no link with year of clinial practice, age, work settings and continuing education. Thus, routine PFR viewing techniques should be made a priority in physiotherapists' continuing professional education.

Informatics in Radiology: What Can You See in a Single Glance and How Might This Guide Visual Search in Medical Images? Informatics
Diagnostic accuracy for radiologists is above that expected by chance when they are exposed to a chest radiograph for only one-fifth of a second, a period too brief for more than a single voluntary eye movement. How do radiologists glean information from a first glance at an image? It is thought that this expert impression of the gestalt of an image is related to the everyday, immediate visual understanding of the gist of a scene. Several high-speed mechanisms guide our search of complex images. Guidance by basic features (such as color) requires no learning, whereas guidance by complex scene properties is learned. It is p...

External fixator followed by a plate for distraction, reduction, and fixation in neglected femoral diaphyseal fractures
Conclusions: We conclude that the treating of neglected femoral diaphyseal fractures with a two-stage surgery is a satisfactory therapy showing reliable bony union, however continuing medical education is necessary for physicians in primary medical facilities as well as for patients with traditional views.

Calciphylaxis: Part I. Diagnosis and pathology
Calciphylaxis is an uncommon but devastating disorder characterized by vascular calcification and subsequent cutaneous tissue necrosis. This results in exquisitely painful and slow healing wounds that portend exceptionally high morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of this condition can be complicated because there are no conclusive serologic, radiographic or visual signs that this disease is manifesting. The differential of tissue necrosis is broad, and identifying calciphylaxis requires an adroit understanding of the risk factors and physical signs that should raise suspicion of this condition.

Letter to the Editor–Continuing Professional Development and Advanced Practice
In April, a broad group of international colleagues participated in a Twitter-based journal club (#MedRadJClub). Although it was the second topic (www.medradjclub.wordpress.com), this discussion forum was particularly interesting, not because of the article itself but rather the broader concept of continuing professional development (CPD), a topic important to all of the medical radiation sciences. The discussion was insightful and provocative with one line of debate being whether a “radiographer comment system” (as opposed to radiographer reporting) was adequately served by CPD.

Maltese Radiographers' Attitudes towards Continuing Professional Development: An Initial Study Using Concept Maps
Conclusion: The study showed that the majority of radiographers were self-motivated to engage in CPD activities, but there were some concerns. Based on these results, the authors suggest recommendations for allaying apprehension and producing the necessary conditions for a successful mandatory CPD scheme.Résumé: Objet: Le Council of Professions Complimentary to Medicine (CPCM) de la République de Malte a publié récemment une ébauche sur la mise en place de la formation professionnelle continue (FPC) obligatoire pour les technologues en radiologie. L'étude examine les réactions et les motivations des technologues en...
