Characterization of Pulmonary Functional Abnormalities in Systemic Sclerosis Using Xenon MRI

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Xenon MRI is increasingly used to evaluate patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), both of which are common manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc). As such, Xe‐MRI may be suited to interrogate lung function impairment in SSc.

Improving Equity of Care for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Patients: Utilising Multilingual Software to Support Breath‐Hold Breast Radiation Therapy

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
A 22% breath‐hold failure and exclusion rate highlighted major communication barriers for CALD breast radiotherapy patients. In response, a multilingual app was developed to deliver translated coaching for DIBH and EBH in seven languages, improving health equity within the local health district through early education, patient‐friendly FAQs, and ...
