Analysis of the Justification for Spinal Computed Tomography (CT) Scans Performed in Togo
The undeniable benefits of irradiating examinations such as CT scans should not overshadow their potential harmful effects, particularly late risks. Hence it is important to justify CT scans requested for patients. This study revealed that a significant number of spinal CT scans performed in developing countries such as Togo were not a priori justified,

This study evaluated the effectiveness of augmented reality (AR)‐based radiographic positioning training compared to conventional training using physical auxiliary tools. The AR group (n = 29) demonstrated a significantly greater reduction in positioning angle errors than the control group (n = 28) at 1 week after training (p = 0.002); however, the ...

Paediatric computed tomography diagnostic reference levels in Africa: A systematic review
Improvements in computed tomography (CT) technology have increased its applications in medical imaging. Variations in the paediatric DRLs indicate that harmonisation and standardisation of paediatric CT protocols are essential for the optimisation of paediatric doses. Abstract Introduction Improvements in computed tomography (CT) technology in terms of

Objectives First‐trimester ultrasound has evolved to incorporate a detailed fetal anatomy scan (FAS) with nuchal translucency (NT) screening. Many institutions use a 2‐visit protocol: NT followed by detailed FAS at 14–16 weeks. We aimed to evaluate whether integrating detailed FAS into the NT window (12 + 5 to 13 + 6 weeks) is non‐inferior in ...
