IntroductionThe radiography profession is challenged by greater responsibilities and shortage of educated radiographers. Implementation task shifting one strategy to deal with the current situation in health care. The aim this studiy was evaluate radiographers’ perception assistant nurses carrying out tasks that traditionally were undertaken within a Swedish context.MethodsAn electronic questio...

Objectives: To assess the knowledge and practice of Non-accidental injuries (NAI) among radiographers practising within Maiduguri Metropolis. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire to elicit information on imaging children with injuries. The elicited from related following themes: Demographic characteristics, NAI. Informed consent sought participants. Descriptive s...

The present eye-movement study assessed the effect of expertise on eye-movement behaviour during image perception in the medical domain. To this end, radiologists, computed-tomography radiographers and psychology students were exposed to nine volumes of multi-slice, stack-view, axial computed-tomography images from the upper to the lower part of the abdomen with or without abnormality. The imag...

background: most of our current understanding of the biological effects of exposure to ionising radiation is based on conventional cytogenetic techniques, which enable us to determine the relationship between chromosomal aberration and dose received by radiation workers. however, conventional techniques have numerous limitations and chromosomal aberrations can be easily missed. since fish plays...

The Red-dot system, used extensively overseas, but sporadically in Australia, allows radiographers to bring abnormal images to the attention of the referring medical practitioner, prior to the issuance of a formal radiologist’s report. There is much discussion in the public arena as to the increasing workload of medical practitioners, and the role other health professionals may play in easing t...

Background: The existence of ”exposure creep” in digital radiography systems has been debated over years, raising concern image optimisation. Therefore, effective implementation Exposure Index (EI) as a tool for optimisation stressed to address this issue. However, the concept and might not be familiar all Indonesian radiographers. This study aims explore current literature related EI, includin...

introduction: the examination of radiographics repeat rate and the causes are considered as one of the main factors in assessing the performance of radiographers and the function of the equipments in radiography services. the analysis of repeated films can reveal sources of the errors and areas where improvement can be made. apart from imposing additional charges, the repeats are responsible fo...

PURPOSE Student radiographers must possess certain abilities to progress in their training; these can be assessed in various ways. Bandura's social cognitive theory identifies self-efficacy as a key psychological construct with regard to how people adapt to environments where new skills are developed. Use of this construct is common in health care literature but little has been noted within rad...

BACKGROUND The amount of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) at work is mainly determined by an individual's occupation and may differ from exposure at home. It is, however, unknown how different occupational groups perceive possible adverse health effects of EMF. METHODS Three occupational groups, the general Dutch working population (n = 567), airport security officers who work with me...
