RADIATION DOSE OF THE EYE LENS IN CT EXAMINATIONS OF THE BRAIN IN CLINICAL PRACTICE—THE EFFECT OF RADIOGRAPHER TRAINING TO OPTIMISE GANTRY TILT AND SCAN LENGTH

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2023
Lenses are always exposed to radiation in brain computed tomography (CT) scans. However, the lens dose can be reduced by excluding lens from scanning area by optimising gantry tilt and scan length.

Impact of radiographer immediate reporting of X-rays of the chest from general practice on the lung cancer pathway (radioX): a randomised controlled trial

Thorax, 2022
The National Optimal Lung Cancer Pathway recommends rapid progression from abnormal chest X-rays (CXRs) to CT. The impact of the more rapid reporting on the whole pathway is unknown.
