I appreciate the opportunity to respond to the comments of Dr Schneider and agree that this article represents only a limited representation of radiography authorship. However, in a research active profession the debate is important and she acknowledges radiography-specific journals are not seen as overly attractive to authors. As an author who publishes in a wide range of journals I understand...

INTRODUCTION Due to the universal shortage of radiologists, medical officers are largely responsible for acute trauma radiograph reporting in public sector healthcare facilities in well-resourced countries. In poorly-resourced countries, a shortage of medical officers results in most acute trauma radiographs being unreported. In the European Union (EU), experienced radiographers with no specifi...

This article examines the research and development of a mixed realities play-kit to prepare children for an MRI scan be undertaken without need General Anaesthetic. The kit uses three different types play; augmented, virtual reality physical help become familiar with look scanner, noises it makes, role radiographer, what expect when they go hospital practise staying still. We reflect on initial...

IntroductionUnderpinned by a multi professional advanced clinical practice (ACP) framework, role consistency in level and education has been advocated across allied health professions. However little research evaluated ACP expectations radiography. This study identified the capability requirements of specialist diagnostic radiographers mapped these to home country frameworks Society College Rad...

We evaluate the accuracy of a semi-automated software package for annotating landmark points on vertebral body outlines in dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images adults. The aim study was to determine with which non-expert radiographer could use annotate vertebrae support osteoporotic fracture diagnosis and grading. In this study, 71 GE Lunar iDXA assessment (VFA) were used. Annotations ...

Objective: Venous air embolism as a complication of contrast media administration from power injection systems in CT is found to occur 7%-55% patients, impacting patient safety, diagnostic image quality, workflow efficiency, and radiographer satisfaction. This study reviews the challenges associated with reactive management approaches employed on contemporary systems, proposes novel approach us...

The aim of this project was to study the effect of compensating filter on image quality in lateral projection of thoraco lumbar radiography. The specific objectives of this study were to verify the relationship between density, contrast and noise of lateral thoraco lumbar radiography using various thickness of compensating filter and to determine the appropriate filter thickness with the thorac...

Digital templating in hip replacement is commonly performed with radiological markers to determine the magnification. The latter can also be determined by measuring the distance from the x-ray focal spot to the object and the distance from the x-ray focal spot to the radiological cassette or image receptor. We used post-operative radiographs of total hip replacements and hemiarthroplasties from...
