Introduction

Radiographers in low-resource settings like Ghana often operate in environments with limited access to radiologists, resulting in informal involvement in image interpretation tasks despite a lack of formal recognition or training. Preliminary Image Evaluation (PIE), where radiographers provide initial comments on X-ray images have been successfully implemented in other countries. This study explored the perspectives of Ghanaian radiographers on PIE involvement.

Methods

A qualitative descriptive design was adopted. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve purposively selected diagnostic radiographers working across various healthcare facilities in Ghana. Data were thematically analysed using Braun and Clarke’s reflexive thematic analysis approach supported by NVivo™ 14 software for data organisation.

Results

Six key themes emerged from the analysis: interest in PIE, opportunities and enablers, benefits of PIE, barriers to participation, educational preferences, and advocacy for institutional/regulatory reforms. Sixteen subthemes emerged including motivation for professional growth, improvements in patient outcomes, enhanced professional identity and support from clinical staff. Lack of educational opportunities, increase workload, legal issues, and perceived resistance from other professionals were reported as key barriers. Participants emphasized the need for structured training and clear policy guidelines to support effective radiographer PIE participation.

Discussion

Radiographers in Ghana demonstrate readiness and motivation for expanded roles in PIE. The study highlights key enablers, barriers, and educational preferences influencing radiographer involvement in PIE, especially in contexts of radiologist scarcity.

Conclusion

System-level changes, especially in education, regulation, and interprofessional collaboration are essential to support the safe and sustainable implementation of radiographer-PIE participation, particularly in resource-limited health systems.

在加纳等资源匮乏的环境中，放射科医生经常在接触放射科医生的机会有限的环境中工作，导致他们在缺乏正式认可或培训的情况下非正式地参与图像解释任务。初步图像评价（PIE），即放射技师对x射线图像提供初步评论，已在其他国家成功实施。本研究探讨了加纳放射技师对PIE参与的看法。方法采用定性描述设计。对12名在加纳各医疗机构工作的诊断放射技师进行了半结构化访谈。使用Braun和Clarke的反思性主题分析方法对数据进行主题分析，该方法由NVivo™14数据组织软件支持。分析中出现了六个关键主题：对PIE的兴趣、机会和推动因素、PIE的好处、参与的障碍、教育偏好以及对制度/监管改革的倡导。出现了16个次级主题，包括专业成长的动机、患者预后的改善、增强职业认同和临床工作人员的支持。缺乏教育机会、工作量增加、法律问题以及其他专业人士的抵制被认为是主要障碍。与会者强调需要有组织的培训和明确的政策指导，以支持放射技师有效参与PIE。讨论加纳的放射技师为扩大在PIE中的作用做好了准备和动力。该研究强调了影响放射技师参与PIE的关键因素、障碍和教育偏好，特别是在放射科医生稀缺的情况下。系统层面的变革，特别是在教育、监管和专业间合作方面的变革，对于支持安全、可持续地实施放射技师参与pie至关重要，特别是在资源有限的卫生系统中。

Introduction/Background

Simulation-based education (SBE) is an established learning activity for health care profession students to develop clinical skills within a safe learning environment. Debriefing plays a key role in student learning in SBE; however, faculty debriefing on their own practice in their role as simulation facilitators is also an important aspect of SBE. This educational perspective focuses on a faculty debriefing program aimed at educators teaching in an undergraduate radiography simulation program.

Methods

A faculty debriefing program was implemented during a radiography SBE program. The SBE faculty debriefing program brought together clinical and academic educators from different practices and settings, allowing them to learn from one another’s experiences. The debriefing structure was guided by the ‘Promoting Excellence and Reflective Learning in Simulation’ (PEARLS) framework, to encourage self-reflection through discussion. Facilitators’ perceptions of achievements and goals were also documented.

Results

The faculty debriefing program enabled documenting of individual and team-level achievements and goals that would contribute towards increasing teaching quality and student experience in subsequent simulation days within the simulation program.

Discussion

The integration of the debriefing program encouraged facilitators to adopt a proactive approach to self-reflection in simulation teaching. From our experience, the debriefing sessions promoted a positive culture and attitudes to teaching, self-reflection and working with others within the radiography simulation program.

Conclusion

There was an evident team vision to prioritise education quality and facilitator team bonding.

介绍/背景模拟教育（SBE）是一种为卫生保健专业学生在安全的学习环境中发展临床技能的既定学习活动。在SBE教学中，汇报在学生学习中起着关键作用；然而，教师汇报他们自己作为模拟促进者的实践也是SBE的一个重要方面。这一教育视角侧重于针对本科放射学模拟课程的教育工作者的教师述职计划。方法在放射学SBE项目中实施教师述职计划。SBE教师汇报计划将来自不同实践和环境的临床和学术教育工作者聚集在一起，使他们能够相互学习经验。汇报结构以“在模拟中促进卓越和反思性学习”（PEARLS）框架为指导，鼓励通过讨论进行自我反思。引导者对成就和目标的看法也被记录下来。结果：教师汇报程序能够记录个人和团队层面的成就和目标，这将有助于提高教学质量和学生在模拟程序中随后的模拟日的体验。讨论汇报计划的整合鼓励辅导员在模拟教学中采取主动的自我反思方法。从我们的经验来看，汇报会议促进了积极的文化和教学态度，自我反思以及在放射模拟项目中与他人合作。结论以教育质量和促进团队凝聚力为重点的团队愿景明显。

Introduction

Access to timely image interpretation is critical for accurate diagnosis and effective patient management. However, radiologist shortages are likely to compromise image interpretation turnaround times (TATs) and leave many radiographs unreported. This cross-sectional survey-based study examines image interpretation TATs and the volume of unreported radiographs in Ghanaian healthcare facilities.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was conducted across public and private healthcare facilities in Ghana. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire collecting information on facility characteristics, access to radiologist, radiographic workload and reporting TATs. Data were analysed descriptively and inferentially using SPSS v24. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant for differences.

Results

53.8 % (n = 63) of the facilities had no radiologist, 19.7 % (n = 23) had full-time radiologists, 10.3 % (n = 12) had part-time, and 16.2 % (n = 19) relied on remote reporting. For facilities with access to radiologists (n = 54), emergency cases were mostly reported within 24 h (48.1 %, n = 26/54), while non-emergency cases took 2–3 days (59.3 %, n = 32/54). Radiologist shortages (94.4 %, n = 51/54) and high radiologist workload (77.8 %, n = 41/54) were the most frequently cited causes of reporting delays. Across the 117 facilities, the majority (57.3 %, n = 67/117) indicated performing between 10,001 and 20,000 general radiographic examinations annually, with 54.7 % (n = 64/117) indicating that all radiographs produced were unreported.

Discussion

Many healthcare facilities in Ghana are confronted with substantial delays in image reporting times and large volumes of unreported X-ray images.

Conclusion

Delays in X-ray reporting times and high volumes of unreported radiographs may negatively impact effective healthcare delivery. Addressing these through targeted interventions may help improve service delivery.

获得及时的图像解释是准确诊断和有效的病人管理的关键。然而，放射科医生的短缺可能会影响图像解释周转时间（tat），并留下许多射线照片未报告。本横断面调查为基础的研究检查图像解释tat和未报告的x线片在加纳医疗机构的数量。方法横断面调查在加纳的公共和私人医疗机构进行。使用结构化问卷收集数据，收集有关设施特征、获得放射科医生、放射工作量和报告tat的信息。数据采用SPSS v24进行描述性和推理性分析。结果53.8% （n = 63）的医院没有放射科医生，19.7% （n = 23）的医院有全职放射科医生，10.3% （n = 12）的医院有兼职放射科医生，16.2% （n = 19）的医院依赖远程报告。在可接触放射科医生的设施（n = 54）中，急诊病例大多在24小时内报告（48.1%,n = 26/54），而非急诊病例需要2-3天（59.3%,n = 32/54）。放射科医生短缺（94.4%,n = 51/54）和放射科医生工作量大（77.8%,n = 41/54）是报告延误最常见的原因。在117家机构中，大多数（57.3%,n = 67/117）表示每年进行10,001至20,000次普通放射检查，54.7% （n = 64/117）表示所有放射检查均未报告。加纳的许多医疗机构都面临着图像报告时间严重延误和大量未报告的x射线图像的问题。结论x线报告时间的延迟和大量未报告的x线片可能会对有效的医疗服务产生负面影响。通过有针对性的干预措施解决这些问题可能有助于改善服务的提供。
