Development and evaluation of a brief educational cartoon on trainee clinicians' awareness of risks of ionising-radiation exposure: a feasibility pre-post intervention study of a novel educational tool to promote patient safety
(2020-11)Background: Over recent decades, CT scans have become routinely available and are used in both acute medical and outpatient environments. However, there is a small increase in the risk of adverse consequences, including ... -
Patient and public beliefs about the role of imaging in the management of non-specific low back pain: a scoping review.
(2019-08)BACKGROUND OR CONTEXT: Routine imaging for non-specific low back pain is advised against in guidelines yet imaging continues to occur. Patient and public beliefs regarding imaging may be a driving factor contributing to ... -
Evaluation of the impact of a brief educational message on clinicians' awareness of risks of ionising-radiation exposure in imaging investigations: a pilot pre-post intervention study.
(2019-11)BACKGROUND: In the context of increasing availability of computed tomography (CT) scans, judicious use of ionising radiation is a priority to minimise the risk of future health problems. Hence, education of clinicians on ... -
Safety and feasibility of breast lesion localization using magnetic seeds (Magseed): a multi-centre, open-label cohort study.
(2018-02)PURPOSE: Wire localization has several disadvantages, notably wire migration and difficulty scheduling the procedure close to surgery. Radioactive seed localization overcomes these disadvantages, but implementation is ... -
Axillary tumour burden in women with one abnormal node on ultrasound compared to women with multiple abnormal nodes.
(2018-01)AIM: To determine if the number of abnormal nodes seen on preoperative axillaryultrasound (AUS) is a predictor of the number of positive nodes at histology for women with needle-biopsy-proven positive nodes. MATERIALS AND ... -
CT imaging doses in radiotherapy-a single centre audit
(2016-04): Purpose or Objective: There is a growing awareness of dose delivered to parts the body outside the target volume during external beam radiotherapy. This concomitant dose could arise from external linac head leakage and ... -
Audit of Pectoralis (PECS) and Serratus Anterior Plane (SAP) blocks for breast surgery
(2017-04)Introduction The principal objective of the audit is to -"Improve the quality of care delivered to the patient by minimising the opioid consumption intra and postop and to reduce the complication from opioids." Materials ... -
Forensic radiology: The role of cross-sectional imaging in virtual post-mortem examinations
(2014-02)The aim of this review is to assess the benefits and limitations of using Multi Slice Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance as non-invasive post-mortem imaging methods. Method: The author utilised SciVerse (Science ... -
Demand for CT scans increases during transition from paediatric to adult care: An observational study from 2009 to 2015.
(2017-11)OBJECTIVE: Avoiding unnecessary radiation exposure is a clinical priority in children and young adults. We aimed to explore demand for CT scans in a busy general hospital with particular interest in the period of transition ... -
Adequacy of percutaneous non-targeted liver biopsy under real-time ultrasound guidance when comparing the Biopince™ and Achieve™ biopsy needle.
(2017-10)AIM: The purpose of this study was to compare the adequacy rates of percutaneous liver biopsies, in parenchymal liver disease, using the Biopince™ 16G and Achieve™ 18G biopsy needles in relation to the Royal College of ... -
Effect of second timed appointments for non-attenders of breast cancer screening in England: a randomised controlled trial.
(2017-05)BACKGROUND: In England, participation in breast cancer screening has been decreasing in the past 10 years, approaching the national minimum standard of 70%. Interventions aimed at improving participation need to be ... -
Factors influencing local control in patients undergoing breast conservation surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ.
(2016-11)BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to assess various predictors for local recurrence (LR) in patients undergoing breast conservation surgery (BCS) for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: An audit was ... -
Symmetrisation procedures in breast reconstruction patients constitute a rising workload in our DGH.
(2014-12)INTRODUCTION: In breast cancer patients undergoing reconstructive surgery, achieving symmetry is of considerable importance. The aim of our study was to identify the proportion of breast cancer patients undergoing ... -
Development and assessment of a Microsoft Kinect based system for imaging the breast in three dimensions.
(2014-06)Three-dimensional surface imaging technologies have been used in the planning and evaluation of breast reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. The aim of this study was to develop a 3D surface imaging system based on the ... -
MRI findings in herniation of the spinal cord.
(2010)Herniation of the spinal cord is a rare condition that causes non specific neurological deficits that are often a diagnostic challenge to clinicians. Despite several reports in the neurosurgical literature, it is only ... -
Breast pain
(2011-01)INTRODUCTION: Breast pain may be cyclical (worse before a period) or noncyclical, originating from the breast or the chest wall, and occurs at some time in 70% of women. Cyclical breast pain resolves spontaneously in 20% ... -
Initial experience with a new fenestrated stent graft.
(2011-12)OBJECTIVES: The Anaconda fenestrated stent graft (Vascutek, Inchinnan, United Kingdom) is a new device that can easily be repositioned during deployment. This study evaluated its feasibility for treating abdominal aortic ...
