Artificial intelligence in detecting paediatric fractures: where are we now?

Paediatric fractures make up a large part of the acute paediatric workload both in the emergency department and community-based care, such as urgent care and walk-in centres. Paediatric fractures can be very subtle, posing a diagnostic challenge for the untrained eye. Missed fractures can have a significant impact in children, including opportunities to raise safeguarding […]

Adaptive radiotherapy and AI in head and neck cancer

Over 12,000 patients are diagnosed with head and neck cancer across the UK every year. Alcohol and tobacco use have long been established as primary risk factors for the development of these cancers. However, there has been a notable increase in the cases of oropharyngeal cancer in recent years, particularly those linked to the oncogenic […]

Improving PETCT using AI

Imagine a future where every PETCT scan delivers faster, sharper images and fewer diagnostic doubts or discrepancies – that is the potential transformative power of AI. I won’t take you through what AI, or machine learning (ML), is; for that can I simply direct you to another RAD Magazine article entitled ‘AI in multimodality imaging’ […]

The use of pre-existing imaging for routine MRI safety screening

Thorough MRI safety screening, to identify any internal implants or foreign bodies (FB), is essential for anyone entering the MRI environment. Screening is used to determine the presence of any MRI contraindications and allow the MRI status of any medical implants to be investigated so they can be scanned under the correct conditions. In 2018, […]

Comparing Bastion protocols with single bolus multi-phase protocols in trauma patients receiving whole body CT

Major trauma typically causes serious harm to a person, often involving catastrophic haemorrhages and complex fractures, and is the leading cause of death in people under the age of 45. While penetrating trauma requires faster intervention, blunt force trauma is most commonly associated with diagnostic imaging. Major trauma causes life-threatening injuries, with 15,000 deaths annually. […]

SABR: the new kid on the block for treatment of ventricular tachycardia?

Sudden cardiac death is responsible for 4-5 million annual deaths worldwide. The primary cause of sudden cardiac death is ventricular tachycardia (VT), a cardiac arrhythmia commonly seen in patients with structural heart disease and impaired ventricular function. Conventional VT treatment approaches include antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD), invasive catheter ablation and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). While these […]

Clinical implementation of an MR-Sim in radiotherapy

MRI has had an emerging role in radiotherapy (RT) for a number of years, providing improved visualisation of the tumour and organs at risk (OAR) when compared with CT to improve contouring accuracy. A project team was established in 2016 to procure an MRI scanner designed specifically for RT planning to improve treatment accuracy. MRI […]

World-class radiotherapy in the UK: right patient, right treatment, right time

Cancer patients in the UK face a growing crisis in cancer care, with record high waiting times for treatment becoming normal. This delay is alarming, as every four weeks of delay in cancer treatment can lead to a 10% increase in mortality for some cancers. The association between delay and increased mortality may be even […]
