Improving healthcare value: Optimizing billing and documentation for inpatient addiction consultation services

open access: yesJournal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Patients with substance use disorder (SUD) represent a high‐complexity, high‐cost population on hospital medicine services, yet their admissions are systematically under‐reimbursed due to narrow clinical documentation. Increasingly, hospital‐based addiction consultation service (ACS) clinicians provide dedicated addiction care to medically ...

MRI Proton Density Fat Fraction as a Biomarker of Marrow Recovery Following Organ‐Sparing Total Marrow Irradiation in Sickle Cell Disease

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Noninvasive quantitative assessment of marrow recovery after curative therapies such as total marrow irradiation (TMI) and bone marrow transplantation (BMT) remain poorly defined, particularly in sickle cell disease (SCD). Purpose To evaluate MRI‐derived proton density fat fraction (PDFF) as a biomarker of marrow recovery following ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...
