Caring is a key part of a radiographers work and the education of student radiographers. Despite recent literature highlighting the importance of putting the patient at the centre of care and being ca...
A qualitative, exploratory research design was used. Purposive sampling was used to select radiography educators (n = 9). This was followed by quota sampling to ensure all four radiography disciplines...
The findings indicated that radiography educators use teaching strategies such as peer role play, learning through observation and role modelling to facilitate teaching and learning of caring....
The study suggested that although radiography educators know the teaching strategies that facilitate caring, aspects such as clarification of professional values and the refinement of reflection seems...
The teaching and learning approaches that can assist students in developing as caring radiographers can add to the evidence-based pedagogies that shape the teaching of caring in the profession....
To clarify the performance of transfer learning with a small number of Waters' images at institution B in diagnosing maxillary sinusitis, based on a source model trained with a large number of panoram...
The source model was created by a 200-epoch training process with 800 training and 60 validation datasets of panoramic radiographs at institution A using VGG-16. One hundred and eighty Waters' and 180...
When using Waters' images as the test dataset, the AUCs of the source model, target model, and radiologists were 0.780, 0.830, and 0.806, respectively. There were no significant differences between th...
This study performed transfer learning using a small number of Waters' images, based on a source model created solely from panoramic radiographs, resulting in a performance improvement to 0.830 in dia...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have already started impacting clinical practice across various settings worldwide, including the radiography profession. This study is aimed at exploring a w...
An online survey (hosted on Qualtrics) on key AI concepts was open to radiography professionals worldwide (August 1st to December 31st 2020). The survey sought both quantitative and qualitative data o...
A total of 314 valid responses were obtained with a fair geographical distribution. Of the respondents, 54.1% (157/290) were from North America and were predominantly clinical practicing radiographers...
Artificial intelligence is a tool but to operate optimally it requires human input and validation. Radiographers working at the interface between technology and the patient are key stakeholders in AI ...
Advancement of AI technologies and implementation should be accompanied by proportional training of end-users in radiography and beyond. There are many benefits of AI-enabled radiography workflows and...
Dark-field chest radiography (dfCXR) has recently reached clinical trials. Here we compare dfCXR to conventional radiography for the detection and staging of pulmonary emphysema....
Subjects were included after a medically indicated computed tomography (CT) scan, showing either no lung impairments or different stages of emphysema. To establish a ground truth, all CT scans were as...
A total of 88 participants (54 men) with a mean age of 64 ± 12 years were included. Compared with conventional images (AUC = 0.73), readers were better able to identify emphysema with images from the ...
Dark-field chest radiography is superior to conventional chest radiography for emphysema diagnosis and staging, indicating the technique's potential as a low-dose diagnostic tool for emphysema assessm...
Exposure Index (EI) is incorporated into Digital Radiography (DR) systems to indicate incorrect exposure to enable matching exposure to the desired speed class of operation. However, knowledge of the ...
A pre-tested questionnaire designed using Google forms, with open and close-ended questions was shared online with radiographers working with DR systems in public and private health facilities in some...
About 8.3% of the respondents had good knowledge of EI in DR systems in spite of the awareness level of 24.7%. The absence of the EI concept in DR curriculum for undergraduates, the lack of EI softwar...
There is low awareness and knowledge of EI by radiographers in this study, which suggests the need to maximize the benefits of EI concepts by ensuring its integration into clinical radiography practic...
- This paper sought to explore the value of case reports in diagnostic radiography with regards to current usage, relevance to evidence-based radiography, and educational benefits....
Case reports are short accounts of novel pathologies, trauma or treatment with a critical review of relevant literature. Examples within diagnostic radiography include the appearances of COVID-19 alon...
Despite being low-quality evidence, case reports contribute to evidence-based radiography, add to the knowledge base, and foster a research culture. However, this is contingent upon rigorous peer-revi...
With the drive to increase research engagement and output at all levels in radiography (student to consultant), case reports may act as a realistic grass-root activity for a burdened workforce with li...
Diagnosis of hip osteoarthritis (OA) is based on clinical arguments, and medical imaging is obtained to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other possible sources of pain. Conventional radiographs are ...
Caring is embedded in professional guidance documents, however the meaning of caring remains unclear. It is important to clarify the meaning of caring and identify caring behaviours because it is an i...
A qualitative approach using online semi-structured interviews was used. Radiography educators were purposively selected. This was followed by quota sampling to ensure that participants represented al...
This study revealed that radiography educators valued caring behaviours as part of their profession and reasonably understood what caring entails. The ability to demonstrate caring during patient-prac...
There is evidence that points to a shared understanding of the meaning of caring but without clarity of how it looks practically in the radiography profession and by implication the radiography curric...
Given the importance of caring, consensus on competence standard requirements for caring is suggested. Radiography educators should emphasis the importance of caring and provide diverse learning oppor...
Increasing evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the mental health of health professionals, including radiographers. Less is known about the effect of the pandemic on the mental ...
Ethical approval was obtained from the NHS Research Ethics Committee (ID 287032). Eleven interviews were conducted with therapeutic and diagnostic radiography managers between March-April 2021. Writte...
Three central themes emerged: 1) Factors perceived to have negatively influenced mental health, which included changing PPE guidance, restructuring of work conditions, social isolation, challenges to ...
Managers felt that they had implemented appropriate strategies to support their staff throughout the first year of the pandemic and expressed feeling responsible for the wellbeing of their staff. Stro...
Managers should be proactive in communicating their appreciation for their staff in an era where remote working can add to disconnect between staff and management. Mental health support services shoul...
Resilience is a concept associated with the ability to overcome, adapt, and recover from stressors. The radiography profession is known to be stressful, and one can reason that radiographers must be r...
A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual approach was adopted for this study. Qualitative data was collected through focus group interviews. A purposive sampling method was employed, sel...
The meaning of resilience as explained from the perspective of radiography students included three subthemes namely: (1) fundamentals of resilience; (2) external protective factors and (3) internal pr...
