The present study indicates that student radiographers, on the whole, experience stresses similar to those of other healthcare student groups. Students are more stressed due to pressure relating to the curriculum and demands of radiography education and training. Students were also anxious when having to deal with death and severely ill patients. Poor inter-personal relationships coupled with lack of adequate support, especially from senior members of staff, is another area of concern. Literature on social support does suggest that with adequate support groups the effects of stress can be reduced. While it is clear that overseas student report more stress than home students, it remains unclear whether this finding is due to their actual experience or to a tendency to report problems more intensely on questionnaires. The present sample of overseas students indicates that they have similar stresses as those of home students, especially academic work and inter-personal relationships. One area that produced significant differences between the two groups was the 'feeling of homesickness', which produced greater distress among overseas students. This was not an unexpected finding and available literature on overseas students does suggest this problem. However, an interesting finding in this study is that overseas students feel unhappy over the quality of their education and career choice, and are lacking in motivation. Although such feelings exist among home students they are of more concern to overseas students. It is not possible to identify the cause of such feelings but they could be due to feelings of homesickness which produces negative evaluation of the curriculum. On the other hand, further work needs to be done to identify whether radiography education and training fails to fulfill the aspirations and career needs of the overseas students.

This study reviewed the findings from ultrasound reports and medical notes of 303 patients examined by ultrasound between January 1985 and December 1987. It established the accuracy with which ultrasound could diagnose the cause of obstructive jaundice at 49.5%. A correlation was discovered between the actual pathology causing the obstruction and biliary dilatation and the degree to which the common duct became dilated. Further research into this area using a greater number of statistics is required before this can be applied in a clinical situation, but generalisations were formulated and could be used as guidelines to suggest, rather than state, the possible cause of the common duct obstruction. The following mean diameters for seven pathologies were established: duodenal (8.4 mm); cholecystitis (8.7mm); cholecystectomy (9.5mm); lymph nodes (9.5mm); pancreatitis (9.8mm); duct stones (11.0 mm); and pancreatic carcinoma (14 mm).
