Article Synopsis
- Bitewing examinations are critical for assessing pediatric dental health, and this study compared the radiation dose and image quality of two X-ray systems: Trophy CCX (TCCX) and Planmeca Pro X (PPX).
- Data was collected from both real patient exams and artificial models, with experienced dentists blind-evaluating the images for quality while assessing radiation exposure using a dosimeter.
- Results showed that TCCX provided higher-quality images but at a significantly increased radiation dose compared to PPX, suggesting a trade-off between image clarity and patient safety.
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the occupational radiation exposure of staff during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), with a focus on individuals closest to the radiation source, and to identify potential increases in exposure to hands and eye lenses. Patient radiation exposure during ERCP was also assessed.
Materials And Methods: Staff organ doses were monitored using a Philips Allura Xper FD 20 fluoroscopy system, during 24 ERCP procedures for a period of 7 months.
Virtual reality simulation for mastery learning of wrist radiograph technique.
Radiography (Lond)
December 2024
Introduction: Virtual reality (VR) simulation is a technology that empowers students and radiographers to practice radiography in a virtual environment that resembles real-life clinical scenarios. The purpose of this randomised study was to examine the relationship between clinical specialty and the ability to assess and obtain a lateral wrist radiograph using a VR simulator.
Methods: Radiographers and radiography students were recruited from the EFRS Research Hub at the 2024 European Congress of Radiology.
Introduction: This paper presents motivational factors to engage, start a research project and pursue a research career. The study aimed to investigate radiographer's motivation for engaging in research.
Methods: Eight radiographers from Denmark with experience in research were interviewed in a 2-h focus group interview in October 2023.
Introduction: Social media (SoMe) is widely used as a communication platform in everyday life. Also, healthcare professionals have embraced SoMe as a communication tool for both peers and patients. It is becoming an interactive tool for discussing professionals' issues and a place where learning and education occur.
