Preliminary clinical evaluation (PCE): A transnational scoping review of current radiography practice.

Introduction: Image interpretation by radiographers has gained widespread recognition; however, current evidence provides very limited knowledge of the state and scope of practice transnationally. This study therefore sought to explore the current state and scope of preliminary clinical evaluation (PCE) practice to further understand international best practices in terms of policy, training and education, and practice competence of radiographers when carrying out PCE.

Method: A comprehensive literature search was completed via federated electronic databases (EBSCOhost and Web of Science) and professional radiography platforms for journal articles and policy or practice guidance documents, respectively.

The drivers of migration of Ghanaian radiographers to high-income countries.

Background: The brain drain of Ghanaian radiographers is a growing concern for the Ghana Health Service and patient care in the country. Unfortunately, this is affecting the quality of radiology services in Ghana. This study investigated the determinants of radiographers' brain drain from Ghana and identified potential mitigating factors.
