Radiography students' knowledge, attitude and practice relating to infection prevention and control in the use of contrast media injectors in computed tomography

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 42-53, March 2025.
The aim of this study was to explore radiography students' knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) relating to infection prevention and control (IPC) in the use of contrast media injectors in the computed tomography (CT) setting. Radiography students demonstrate varied comprehension of IPC regarding contrast media equipment within CT environment, and ...

Quantitative Dual‐Energy CT Perfusion Versus SPECT/CT V/Q Scintigraphy for Preoperative Lung Function Assessment: A Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Accurate preoperative physiological assessment is critical for high‐risk patients undergoing lung resection to predict postoperative lung function. This study compared quantitative dual‐energy CT (DECT) perfusion with SPECT/CT for lobar perfusion mapping in an at‐risk oncological cohort.

Lymphoma, multiple myeloma and leukaemia incidence in regions of Belarus most heavily contaminated by the Chernobyl accident

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 12, Page 3161-3172, 15 June 2026.
What's new? The 1986 Chernobyl accident led to widespread radioactive contamination across parts of Europe, with elevated childhood leukaemia rates observed in heavily affected areas of Ukraine. Data on long‐term haematological and other non‐thyroid cancer risk in the general population in heavily contaminated regions, however, remain limited.
