Background

Dementia and cognitive impairment are prevalent among older adults and present significant challenges during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, particularly regarding compliance, communication, and procedural adaptations. Despite MRI’s central role in diagnosing neurodegenerative disorders, limited research has examined radiographers’ experiences with this vulnerable patient group.

Objective

To quantitatively investigate radiographers’ interactions with patients exhibiting dementia or cognitive impairment during MRI examinations, focusing on procedural barriers, adaptations, and implications for patient care.

Methods

A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the MRI department of a tertiary public hospital in Ireland. Eight state-registered MRI radiographers completed structured questionnaires (n = 20 patient encounters) immediately following examinations of patients with documented or observed cognitive impairment or dementia. Descriptive statistics and cross-tabulations were used to analyze procedural outcomes, communication effectiveness, and modifications implemented.

Results

Patients had a mean age of 77 years (range 65–89). Cognitive status was undocumented on referral in 85% of cases and most often identified via ward communication (50%). Only 25% of patients fully comprehended instructions, with 75% unable to cooperate. Procedural modifications were required in 30% of cases, primarily reduced scan duration and motion correction. Examination disruptions included incompleteness (25%) and abortion (15%). Patient distress was observed before (10%), during (30%), and after (15%) scanning. Radiographers employed strategies such as increased communication and interaction, though no carers were present during scans.

Conclusion

Radiographers face substantial challenges in managing MRI examinations for patients with dementia or cognitive impairment, including poor referral documentation, communication barriers, and frequent procedural disruptions. Findings highlight the need for dementia-friendly protocols, environmental adaptations, carer involvement, and targeted radiographer training to optimize diagnostic quality and patient-centered care.
背景痴呆症和认知障碍在老年人中普遍存在,并在磁共振成像(MRI)检查中提出了重大挑战,特别是在依从性、沟通和程序适应方面。尽管MRI在诊断神经退行性疾病方面发挥着核心作用,但有限的研究检查了放射技师对这一弱势患者群体的经验。目的定量调查放射技师与MRI检查中表现出痴呆或认知障碍的患者的互动,重点关注程序障碍、适应和对患者护理的影响。方法在爱尔兰某三级公立医院核磁共振科进行前瞻性横断面研究。8名国家注册的MRI放射技师在对记录或观察到认知障碍或痴呆的患者进行检查后立即完成结构化问卷调查(n = 20例患者接触)。描述性统计和交叉表用于分析程序结果、沟通有效性和实施的修改。结果患者平均年龄为77岁(65 ~ 89岁)。85%的病例在转诊时未记录认知状态,最常通过病房沟通确定(50%)。只有25%的患者完全理解指示,75%的患者无法合作。30%的病例需要进行程序修改,主要是减少扫描时间和运动矫正。检查中断包括不完整(25%)和流产(15%)。在扫描前(10%)、扫描中(30%)和扫描后(15%)观察患者的痛苦。放射技师采用了增加沟通和互动等策略,尽管扫描期间没有护理人员在场。结论:放射科医师在处理痴呆或认知障碍患者的MRI检查时面临着巨大的挑战,包括转诊文件不完善、沟通障碍和频繁的程序中断。研究结果强调需要痴呆症友好型方案、环境适应、护理人员参与和有针对性的放射技师培训,以优化诊断质量和以患者为中心的护理。

Introduction

Regulatory compliance in radiation safety refers to adherence to national and international laws, standards, and guidelines that ensure the safe use of ionizing radiation to protect patients, workers, and the public from unnecessary exposure. This study evaluated regulatory compliance in radiation safety among 27 licensed diagnostic X-ray facilities in Zanzibar, where evidence on the implementation of radiation protection standards remains limited. The key variables assessed included safety training, personnel monitoring, safety infrastructure, documentation, and employee confidence in radiation safety practices.

Methods

A cross-sectional, descriptive design was employed. Data were collected from 81 participants through structured questionnaires, interviews, and observational audits. Quantitative analysis utilized Kendall’s tau and Pearson’s correlation to examine relationships between training frequencies, years of experience, and confidence in radiation safety knowledge, while qualitative findings provided contextual insights into observed practices.

Results

Only 14.8% of facilities offered formal (structured) radiation safety training, and 11.1% of respondents reported high confidence in their knowledge. Training frequency showed a positive correlation with respondents' confidence (τ = 0.398, p = 0.035), whereas years of experience demonstrated a strong negative correlation (r = –0.736, p < 0.01). Observational data revealed limited use of radiation dosimeters, few appointed Radiation Safety Officers, and inconsistent shielding practices, despite a general awareness of the “As Low As Reasonably Achievable” (ALARA) principles and patient identification protocols.

Conclusions

Findings indicate significant weaknesses in radiation safety practices and regulatory enforcement in Zanzibar. Although general awareness exists, deficiencies in training, safety infrastructure, and inaccuracy persist. Strengthened training programs, institutional policy reform, and enhanced regulatory monitoring are essential to align with international safety standards and ensure optimal protection for patients and employees.
辐射安全中的法规遵从性是指遵守国家和国际法律、标准和指南,确保电离辐射的安全使用,以保护患者、工作人员和公众免受不必要的暴露。本研究评估了桑给巴尔27家获得许可的诊断x射线设施在辐射安全方面的合规情况,在桑给巴尔,关于辐射防护标准实施的证据仍然有限。评估的关键变量包括安全培训、人员监测、安全基础设施、文件和员工对辐射安全实践的信心。方法采用横断面、描述性设计。通过结构化问卷调查、访谈和观察性审计收集了81名参与者的数据。定量分析利用Kendall 's tau和Pearson 's相关性来检验培训频率、经验年数和对辐射安全知识的信心之间的关系,而定性研究结果为观察到的实践提供了背景见解。结果仅有14.8%的设施提供正式的(结构化的)辐射安全培训,11.1%的受访者对自己的知识有很高的信心。培训频率与被调查者的信心呈正相关(τ = 0.398, p = 0.035),而经验年数与被调查者的信心呈强负相关(r = -0.736, p < 0.01)。观测数据显示,尽管人们普遍意识到“尽可能低”(ALARA)原则和患者识别方案,但辐射剂量计的使用有限,指定的辐射安全官员很少,屏蔽措施也不一致。结论:研究结果表明,桑给巴尔岛在辐射安全实践和监管执法方面存在重大缺陷。尽管普遍意识存在,但在培训、安全基础设施和准确性方面的缺陷仍然存在。加强培训计划、体制政策改革和加强监管监测对于与国际安全标准保持一致并确保对患者和员工提供最佳保护至关重要。

Background

Temporomandibular joint disorders are prevalent, multifactorial conditions that present significant diagnostic challenges. Conventional clinical evaluation and anatomical radiographic imaging provide essential structural information. However, conventional imaging, such as panoramic radiography, CBCT, and MRI, effectively depict anatomical alterations may not identify early metabolic or functional changes of disease. Nuclear medicine imaging serves as a complementary tool, providing functional and molecular insights that allow earlier identification of active pathological changes and improve diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, this review focuses specifically on radionuclide techniques to clarify their distinct diagnostic contribution within the broader TMJ imaging pathway.

Aim

This systematic review evaluates the role of nuclear medicine imaging modalities, including bone scintigraphy (planar 2D imaging, SPECT, and SPECT/CT) and molecular imaging (PET and PET/CT), in the diagnosis and activity assessment of TMJ disorders, focusing on imaging patterns, uptake ratios, radiopharmaceutical agents used, and their potential side effects.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Science Direct. Clinical trials and related studies published on radionuclide imaging in TMJ disorders were included. Data were analysed with emphasis on study population, imaging modalities, radiopharmaceuticals, and diagnostic outcomes.

Results

Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria, involving participants aged 8 to 66 years, with a higher prevalence in females. Condylar hyperplasia was the most frequently investigated condition. Planar 2D imaging was the most widely employed technique and consistently demonstrated increased condylar uptake as a key diagnostic indicator. Its frequent use reflects its broad availability, relatively low cost, and high sensitivity for detecting early metabolic activity in the condyle. Advanced modalities such as SPECT, SPECT/CT, PET, and PET/CT were also applied, offering improved localization and molecular-level visualization.

Conclusion

Nuclear medicine imaging modalities significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy in TMJ disorders by providing functional and molecular insights beyond conventional imaging. Planar 2D imaging remains the most cost-effective screening tool, while hybrid imaging techniques (SPECT/CT and PET/CT) improve diagnostic precision and should be integrated with clinical expertise to guide effective management strategies.
背景:颞下颌关节疾病是一种常见的多因素疾病,其诊断具有重大挑战。常规的临床评估和解剖放射成像提供了基本的结构信息。然而,传统成像,如全景x线摄影、CBCT和MRI,有效地描绘了解剖改变,但可能无法识别疾病的早期代谢或功能变化。核医学成像作为一种补充工具,提供功能和分子的见解,允许早期识别活动性病理变化并提高诊断准确性。因此,本综述特别关注放射性核素技术,以阐明其在更广泛的TMJ成像途径中的独特诊断贡献。目的本系统综述了核医学成像方式,包括骨显像(平面二维成像、SPECT和SPECT/CT)和分子成像(PET和PET/CT)在TMJ疾病的诊断和活动性评估中的作用,重点讨论了成像模式、摄取比、使用的放射性药物及其潜在副作用。方法在PubMed、Cochrane、Scopus、b谷歌Scholar、Web of Science、Science Direct等网站进行综合文献检索。纳入放射性核素显像在颞下颌关节疾病中的临床试验和相关研究。对数据进行分析,重点是研究人群、成像方式、放射性药物和诊断结果。结果20项研究符合纳入标准,受试者年龄在8 ~ 66岁之间,女性患病率较高。髁突增生是最常见的情况。平面二维成像是最广泛使用的技术,并一致证明髁突摄取增加是一个关键的诊断指标。它的频繁使用反映了它的广泛可用性,相对较低的成本,以及在检测髁早期代谢活动方面的高灵敏度。先进的模式,如SPECT, SPECT/CT, PET和PET/CT也被应用,提供改进的定位和分子水平的可视化。结论核医学成像技术可提供超越传统影像学的功能和分子信息,显著提高TMJ疾病的诊断准确性。平面二维成像仍然是最具成本效益的筛查工具,而混合成像技术(SPECT/CT和PET/CT)提高了诊断精度,应该与临床专业知识相结合,指导有效的管理策略。

Objectives

The aim of this study was to determine the subjective and objective evaluation of image quality between an MRI unit with 0.3T and an MRI unit with 1.5T

Methods

An experimental study was performed on 25 healthy volunteers. Imaging was performed with an Esaote O-Scan Light 0.3T and a GE Optima 450 W 1.5T MRI units. PD FSE imaging was performed in the sagittal, transverse and coronal planes. The acquired images were evaluated using subjective and objective image analysis. Subjective image analysis was performed using ViewDEX 3.2 software, in which three radiologists evaluated the images. Objective image analysis was performed using ImageJ software, which was used to measure SNR and CNR. IMB SPSS 26.0 software was used to determine whether the data were normally distributed (Shapiro-Wilk test), and then a paired-samples T-test or dependent Wilcoxon signed rank test was performed.

Results

The results of objective image quality analysis (SNR and CNR) showed statistically significant differences in measurements of the medial meniscus in the coronal plane and articular cartilage in the transverse plane (p < 0.001). No statistically significant differences were found in the measurements of the distal femur in the sagittal plane. The results of the subjective image analysis showed significant differences in favor of the 1.5T MRI device for all observed criteria (ACL (p = 0.026), PCL (p = 0.003), lateral and medial menisci (p = 0.004), articular cartilage (p = 0.001), and overall image quality (p = 0.011)).

Conclusion

As expected, the MRI unit with a higher magnetic field strength (1.5T) achieved better results than the unit with the lower magnetic field strength (0.3T). However, it must be mentioned that the subjective measurement values were between 2.7 and 4.0, indicating good to perfect visualization of the selected anatomy.
目的探讨0.3T MRI与1.5 t MRI对图像质量的主客观评价方法对25名健康志愿者进行实验研究。使用Esaote O-Scan Light 0.3T和GE Optima 450 W 1.5T MRI设备进行成像。在矢状面、横切面和冠状面进行PD FSE成像。对采集到的图像进行主观和客观的图像分析。使用ViewDEX 3.2软件进行主观图像分析,由三名放射科医生对图像进行评估。采用ImageJ软件进行客观图像分析,测量信噪比和CNR。采用IMB SPSS 26.0软件判断数据是否正态分布(Shapiro-Wilk检验),然后进行配对样本t检验或相关Wilcoxon符号秩检验。结果客观图像质量分析(SNR和CNR)结果显示,冠状面内侧半月板和横切面关节软骨测量值差异有统计学意义(p < 0.001)。在股骨远端矢状面测量中没有发现统计学上的显著差异。主观图像分析结果显示,1.5T MRI设备在所有观察标准(ACL (p = 0.026)、PCL (p = 0.003)、外侧和内侧半月板(p = 0.004)、关节软骨(p = 0.001)和整体图像质量(p = 0.011))上均有显著差异。结论与预期一样,高磁场强度(1.5T)的MRI机组比低磁场强度(0.3T)的机组效果更好。然而,必须提到的是,主观测量值在2.7到4.0之间,表明所选解剖结构的可视化良好到完美。

Background

Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is the most common special radiological procedure that is used to assess the fallopian tubes and the uterus. A paucity exists in the research concerning the subjective experiences of patients undergoing HSG procedures in South Africa, the SADC area, or sub-Saharan Africa as a whole. Although numerous research has investigated HSG in relation to infertility diagnosis and management, none have primarily concentrated on recording patients' opinions and experiences during the HSG process. Therefore, this study explored the experiences of patients referred for the HSG procedure in Pretoria hospitals, South Africa.

Methods

A qualitative, exploratory descriptive design was conducted with 30 participants undergoing the HSG procedure in the radiology departments of four hospitals in Pretoria, South Africa. A semi-structured, face-to-face recorded interview was conducted with willing participants. Qualitative data collected was transcribed verbatim, and data transcripts were coded and integrated into themes using a thematic analysis approach.

Results

Five themes were generated which showed that most participants had insufficient knowledge about the HSG procedure. The Internet was identified to be the common source of information. Their reasons for referral were failure to conceive and other gynaecological-related disorders. The appointment scheduling system used in the involved institutions was a challenge for most participants. Participants viewed the HSG procedure as an important, helpful diagnostic procedure.

Conclusion

Patient experience is very important whether before, during or after the HSG procedure. Therefore, staff training on patient communication and empathy, optimising appointment scheduling, and better patient education about the HSG procedure are necessary.
背景:子宫输卵管造影(HSG)是最常用的用于评估输卵管和子宫的特殊放射检查方法。在南非、南部非洲发展共同体地区或整个撒哈拉以南非洲地区,关于接受HSG手术的患者主观体验的研究很少。虽然有许多研究调查了输卵管造影与不孕症诊断和治疗的关系,但没有一个主要集中在记录患者在输卵管造影过程中的意见和经验。因此,本研究探讨了在南非比勒陀利亚医院转到HSG手术的患者的经验。方法采用定性、探索性描述性设计,对南非比勒陀利亚四家医院放射科接受输卵管造影的30例患者进行研究。对自愿的参与者进行了半结构化、面对面的录音采访。将收集的定性数据逐字转录,并使用主题分析方法对数据转录进行编码并整合到主题中。结果产生了5个主题,显示大多数参与者对HSG手术的了解不足。因特网被确定为信息的共同来源。她们转诊的原因是未能怀孕和其他与妇科有关的疾病。有关机构使用的预约排期制度对大多数参与者来说是一个挑战。参与者认为输卵管造影是一个重要的、有帮助的诊断过程。结论无论是术前、术中还是术后,患者的经验都是非常重要的。因此,有必要对工作人员进行患者沟通和同理心方面的培训,优化预约安排,以及更好地对患者进行HSG手术的教育。

Background

Telehealth has the potential to be exploited in various elements of the radiation therapy workflow. It may have specific benefits in monitoring side effects, follow-up, and in providing equity of access to care to patients in rural settings. However, its implementation into routine radiation therapy practice requires consideration due to concerns with technology access and digital health literacy.

Purpose

The purpose of this narrative review is to discuss the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of the widespread use of telehealth in radiation therapy.

Methodology

Data for this review were gathered following PRISMA reporting guidelines. Data are described and evaluated, taking special note of perceived failures and/or suboptimal outcomes, enabling a discussion of telehealth practices to inform future planning and care in radiation therapy.

Main findings

Studies reported many elements pertaining to the use of telehealth in radiation therapy. Some of these include strengths such as convenience and satisfaction, drawbacks in technology and ability to conduct physical examinations, opportunities in accessible care and staff training and risks regarding finance and safety.

Conclusion

Telehealth provides many strengths and opportunities in radiation therapy workflow, but with some notable weaknesses and threats. Consideration of mitigation strategies for these obstacles is necessary before widespread telehealth implementation is considered in radiation therapy.

Background

Pregnant women often experience anxiety before their first ultrasound scan due to factors such as uncertainty about the results, unfamiliar environments, and concerns about potential harm to the foetus. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of written and audiovisual information techniques in reducing anxiety among primigravidae prior to undergoing ultrasonography.

Methods

This prospective interventional study included 310 primigravidae randomised into three groups: a control group, a written intervention group (Test 1), and an audiovisual intervention group (Test 2). Anxiety was measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) before the ultrasound scan. Subgroup analyses were performed across demographics such as location, income, and education.

Results

The audiovisual intervention significantly reduced both state and overall anxiety compared to the control and written groups (p < 0.0001). While written information also decreased anxiety levels, it was less effective than audiovisual content, with mean state anxiety scores of 36.31 (SD 15.51) in the written group and 27.02 (SD 9.91) in the audiovisual group compared to 40.59 (SD 17.91) in the control group. Subgroup analysis revealed lower anxiety reduction in rural (57.83, SD 16.86 in control vs. 35.92, SD 15.91 in Test 2, p = 0.005) and lower-education participants, with income perception showing fluctuating impacts; for instance, those with “sufficient” income showed lower mean state anxiety (24.41, SD 6.93) compared to “insufficient” income (39.71, SD 15.7) in the audiovisual group (p < 0.0001).

Conclusion

The study underscores the importance of accessible, low-cost anxiety-reducing interventions that can enhance patient comfort, improve the ultrasound experience, and ultimately contribute to higher quality prenatal care.
孕妇在第一次超声波扫描前经常会感到焦虑,原因包括对结果的不确定、不熟悉的环境以及对胎儿潜在危害的担忧。本研究的目的是评估书面和视听信息技术的有效性,以减少焦虑在初徙鸟接受超声检查之前。方法本前瞻性干预研究纳入310只原鸟,随机分为三组:对照组、书面干预组(试验1)和视听干预组(试验2)。在超声扫描前使用状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI)测量焦虑。亚组分析是根据地理位置、收入和教育等人口统计数据进行的。结果与对照组和书面组相比,视听干预显著降低了状态焦虑和总体焦虑(p < 0.0001)。虽然书面信息也能降低焦虑水平,但其效果不如视听内容,书面组的平均焦虑状态评分为36.31 (SD 15.51),视听组的平均焦虑状态评分为27.02 (SD 9.91),而对照组的平均焦虑状态评分为40.59 (SD 17.91)。亚组分析显示,农村和受教育程度较低的参与者的焦虑减少程度较低(对照组为57.83,标准差为16.86,检验2为35.92,标准差为15.91,p = 0.005),收入感知表现出波动的影响;例如,在视听组中,收入“充足”的人表现出较低的平均状态焦虑(24.41,SD 6.93),而收入“不足”的人(39.71,SD 15.7) (p < 0.0001)。结论本研究强调了可获得、低成本的降低焦虑干预措施的重要性,这些干预措施可以提高患者的舒适度,改善超声体验,最终有助于提高产前护理质量。

Background

Person-centred care (PCC) is fundamental to contemporary radiography practice. However, limited educational opportunities exist to enable radiographers to embed PCC in their practice, as most learning is assumed to occur while practising. To fill this gap, and ensure customised knowledge for specific patient groups, a postgraduate PCC-focused module for radiographers covered person-centeredness philosophy and practice. The aim of this study was to explore and describe the experiences of students and educators who participated in a postgraduate PCC-focused module.

Methods

This study employed a participatory action research (PAR) design. The sample comprised ten students and six faculty members who completed an online qualitative survey on Qualtrics. Additional qualitative data was collected using Mentimeter’s word cloud. The qualitative survey data were analysed using Tesch’s eight steps of coding. The word cloud was interpreted using literature to compare student participants’ responses with literary meanings of PCC. Diffusion of innovations theory was employed as a theoretical framework to understand how educational innovation can enable personal and organisational change over time.

Findings

Four themes were generated: 1) stimulating a culture of person-centred care for both patients and staff, 2) module aspects that limited relatability and learning, 3) the ideal person-centred care module: suggestions for improvement, and 4) becoming champions of person-centred care: reflections on module impact.

Conclusions

The participants experienced this PCC module as empowering and motivating, as it provided them with practical strategies to embed PCC in their everyday practice for different patient groups. it is hoped that this module can serve as the basis for similar educational provisions in other academic institutions and geographical locations in the future.
以人为本的护理(PCC)是当代放射学实践的基础。然而,现有的教育机会有限,使放射技师能够将PCC融入他们的实践,因为大多数学习被认为是在实践中发生的。为了填补这一空白,并确保为特定患者群体定制知识,面向放射技师的研究生pcc重点模块涵盖了以人为本的理念和实践。本研究的目的是探讨和描述学生和教育工作者参加了研究生pc集中模块的经验。方法采用参与式行动研究(PAR)设计。样本包括10名学生和6名教师,他们完成了一项关于Qualtrics的在线定性调查。使用Mentimeter的词云收集其他定性数据。定性调查数据采用Tesch的八步编码进行分析。用文献解释词云,比较学生被试的回答与PCC的文学意义。创新扩散理论被用来作为理论框架来理解教育创新如何随着时间的推移使个人和组织发生变化。研究结果产生了四个主题:1)为患者和员工激发以人为本的护理文化;2)模块方面限制相关性和学习;3)理想的以人为本的护理模块:改进建议;4)成为以人为本护理的拥护者:对模块影响的反思。参与者认为这个PCC模块赋予了他们权力和动力,因为它为他们提供了实用的策略,将PCC融入到不同患者群体的日常实践中。希望该模块可以作为未来其他学术机构和地理位置类似教育规定的基础。
