Establishment of Reference Intervals for Plasma TSH Across the Lifespan in an Algerian Mediterranean Population

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study establishes the first age‐specific reference intervals for plasma thyroid‐stimulating hormone (TSH) in an Algerian Mediterranean population using the Mindray CL‐900i platform. Analysis of 2893 healthy individuals revealed a strong age dependency of TSH values, with highest levels in neonates and mild elevation in older adults, while sex ...

A Hybrid Qualitative–Quantitative FMEA Model for Risk Management in Clinical Laboratory Automation: A Case Study Integrating ISO 15189:2022

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study integrates ISO 15189:2022 requirements with failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to establish a comprehensive risk management framework for multibrand total laboratory automation (TLA) systems. By combining quantitative operational data with expert evaluation, an objective and reproducible occurrence scoring strategy was developed ...

Impact of Ceiling Suspended Shield Size on Primary Operator Radiation Dose During Coronary Angiography and Intervention

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Reducing radiation exposure to staff performing coronary angiography and intervention is an occupational health and safety priority for hospitals. We demonstrate that a larger lead acrylic shield, with lead rubber pleats on the lower edge will reduce radiation exposure to the cardiologist performing the procedure by approximately 40%. We recommend that

Radiation Dose and Risk in the Radiological Investigation of Suspected Non‐Accidental Injury (NAI)

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study is a retrospective analysis of 362 skeletal surveys performed over a 5‐year period for children under 5 years of age for suspected non‐accidental injury. We present effective dose data and the associated risks of radiation exposure for initial and follow‐up examinations.

Assessment of Thyroid Uptake Ratio Values in a Normal Population. Establishment of Normal Reference Values for 99mTc‐Pertechnetate Thyroid Uptake in an Australian Population

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
An Australian first, this study examined normal reference ranges for 99mTc‐pertechnetate thyroid uptake. Through a retrospective and prospective analysis, this study found a new reference range of 0.4%–2.4%. The findings suggest that locally derived reference values may differ from historical data and highlight the importance of region‐specific ...

Molecular theranostics: principles, challenges and controversies

open access: yesJournal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 156-164, March 2025.
Molecular theranostics offers a powerful tool to drive precision medicine in nuclear oncology. While theranostics is not a new principle in nuclear medicine, recent advances in instrumentation and radiopharmacy have driven a reinvigoration and a broader suite of applications.
