Article Synopsis
- The study assesses how well Australian radiographers understand the effects of patient positioning on CT imaging and radiation dose.
- A survey of 186 participants revealed a significant knowledge-practice gap, with many radiographers not reviewing CT numbers despite recognizing their importance.
- Results show that while most follow manufacturer guidelines, many still underestimate the impact of improper patient centring on radiation exposure and CT accuracy.
Introduction: Survey or localiser radiographs are integral to CT imaging. However, the diverse functions and roles of the localiser radiograph are often obscure to radiographers and radiologists. This scoping review reports the full scope of localiser radiograph use and function in contemporary CT imaging.

Ensuring that society is investing limited budgets in the interventions that have the greatest potential to generate tangible impact will require tools to guide policymakers.
Objectives: To build on previous studies to develop an economic model that estimates the societal burden of AD and evaluates the potential impact of novel interventions in six large European countries.
