Clinical Value and Research Prospects of 1024 Matrix Optimization in 64‐Slice Cerebral CTA for Perforating Artery Visualisation

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This letter comments on Nagumo et al.'s study evaluating 1024‐matrix reconstruction for intracranial perforating artery visualisation in 64‐slice cerebral CTA, affirming its cost‐effective value for standard CT scanners (https://doi.org/10.1002/jmrs.70055).

Mapping the Landscape of Over‐Scanning in CT Imaging: A Scoping Review

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Over‐scanning in CT is highly prevalent and contributes to unnecessary radiation exposure, with notable impact on radiosensitive organs. Standardised protocols and AI‐assisted planning show strong potential to optimise scan range and reduce excess dose.

Compliance With NICE Guidance for Cervical Spine Trauma Imaging: A Single Centre Retrospective Evaluation

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study found that only two‐thirds of patients were managed in accordance with national guidance for C‐spine trauma, with younger patients more likely to have X‐rays rather than CT. Inappropriate imaging carries radiation dose implications and delays in care with subsequent risks, particularly where immobilisation is utilised.

Prone Breast Radiotherapy on the MR‐Linac: A Technical Note on Skin‐Couch Contact Dose Effects

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This retrospective planning study evaluated the dosimetric effects of skin‐couch contact during prone APBI on a 1.5 T MR‐Linac by comparing treatment plans calculated with and without a magnetic field. While the presence of the magnetic field increased overall superficial skin dose, it consistently reduced dose at the skin‐couch contact region ...

Navigating Acceptability: A Think‐Aloud Study of Subjective and Contextual Factors in Radiographic Image Rejection

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study investigated how radiographers assess radiographic image quality using the think‐aloud technique. It reveals that image quality assessment is shaped by both technical standards and subjective, contextual factors, including patient condition and interprofessional dynamics. This highlights the importance of balancing standardised criteria with

Utilisation of Objective and Subjective Image Quality Metrics to Guide Optimal Contrast Volumes for Abdominal CT

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Determining the appropriate volume of iodinated contrast media (ICM) for portal venous phase abdominal CT is challenging. Objective image quality assessment demonstrates weight‐based volume dosing reduces the dependence of enhancement on patient size, compared to fixed volume.

An Exploration of Australian Radiographers' Perceptions of and Experiences With Imaging Autistic People

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Australian radiographers report confidence in delivering high‐quality, patient‐centred care for autistic patients, supported by collegial learning and practices consistent with international evidence. While current approaches are effective, support for targeted education to enhance communication and adaptability for diverse patient needs is evident ...

StrataXRT Versus Mepitel Film for Prevention of Acute Radiation Dermatitis in Postmastectomy Radiotherapy: A Pooled Analysis of Intra‐Patient Randomised Trials

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
In 120 patients receiving postmastectomy radiotherapy, each irradiated chest wall was divided into medial and lateral halves, which were randomised to Mepitel Film or StrataXRT. Mepitel Film reduced grade 2–3 acute radiation dermatitis and clinician‐assessed erythema and moist desquamation over time.

Patient Centring in CT: An International Survey of Clinical Practice and Future Directions

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
An international survey of 321 radiographers from 43 countries found vertical mis‐centring below the CT isocentre is the most frequent positioning error. Only 34% had access to automated centring systems and 17% used them consistently. Substantial knowledge gaps exist regarding radiation dose and CT number variability, highlighting the need for ...

Approach to Chest Computed Tomography

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2015
Computed tomography (CT) is central to the detection and diagnosis of a wide variety of pulmonary, cardiovascular, and other diseases of the chest. Successful interpretation of thoracic CT requires both an appreciation of the spectrum of normal appearances of the chest and a systematic approach to the characterization of thoracic pathology.
