Clinical Applications of Portable Low-Field MRI in Pediatric Neuroimaging: A Narrative Review

Mona Shayegan, David Babayev, Rhea Sakaria, Kate Tuchman, Mandana Behbahani and Saatiya Naik

Article Type: Narrative Review | Indexed Archive: Volume 12

Portable low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as an innovative solution to challenges in pediatric neuroimaging, including radiation exposure, sedation requirements, limited accessibility, and the burden of transporting critically ill patients. The Hyperfine Swoop portable MRI system allows for bedside imaging in intensive care and neurosurgical settings, offering a new approach to point-of-care neurodiagnostics....

Accuracy of Provisional Reports by Radiology Residents on Call

Mariam Dean, Hammad Qadi, Ali Rana, Kar Yan Yip and Anmol Gangi Burton

Article Type: Service Evaluation | Indexed Archive: Volume 12

Out-of-hours (OOH) CT and MRI examinations at our institution are provisionally reported by on-call radiology residents and used to guide overnight patient management. We aimed to (1) quantify the overnight discrepancy rate between provisional resident reports and subsequent consultant reports, and (2) explore associations between discrepancies and resident grade, study type, and reporting time....

Non-invasive Exchange of Encrusted Nephrostomy Tubes Using a Modified Sheath Technique: Technical Description and Case Series

Wai Hung Lester Shiu and Kin Wong Chan

Article Type: Case Series | Indexed Archive: Volume 12

Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) catheter exchange is commonly performed using standard over-the-wire techniques; however, exchange may be challenging or unsuccessful in the setting of catheter encrustation. Failure of nephrostomy exchange may necessitate de novo renal access, increasing procedural risk and resource utilization. We describe a modified sheath technique to facilitate catheter exchange in difficult cases....

Best Methods to Reduce Unnecessary Radiation Exposure

Liliana Ramirez

Article Type: Literature Review | Indexed Archive: Volume 11

The role of a radiographer is to create diagnostic quality images using different forms of radiation. Radiography uses x-rays to create radiographic images, which can cause biochemical changes. It is the ethical and legal responsibility of a radiographer to follow radiation protection practices and the concept of ALARA, as low as reasonably achievable, and protect the patient from unnecessary radiation....

Enhancing Pulmonary MRI Imaging through an Ann-Based Approach

Bouharati Imene and Bouharati Khaoula

Article Type: Original Research Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 11

Despite improvements in the morphological quality of lung images in recent years, using ultra-short echo time sequences, the low signal-to-noise ratio caused by the low proton density of lung tissue and cardiac and respiratory motions that cause artifacts have been the cause of limitations in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Spatial resolution and diagnostic quality are then reduced. This is mainly evident in emergency situations of pulmonary embolism or in chronic bronchopulmonary diseases....

Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy of Breast Masses in Interventional Radiology Units in Kinshasa

Frederick Tshibasu Tshienda, Tasnime Hamdeni, Najat cherif Idrissi El Ganouni, Jean Mukaya Tshibola, Michel Lelo Tshikwela, Jean Marie Kayembe Ntumba and Jean-Marie Mbuyi Muamba

Article Type: Original Research Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 11

This was a retrospective, descriptive, multicenter study conducted over a 6-year period from June 2018 to June 2024 and compiled at the university clinics of Kinshasa. Any patient who underwent percutaneous echo-guided biopsy sampling using the multiple-pass technique without co-axial was included. Biopsy specimens were taken using 14 to 17 G tru-cut needles. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 2.2 software, which enabled us to collect 107 patients....

The Relationship of Radiologic Technology Educators' Trait Emotional Intelligence and Sense of Efficacy

Jan Glenndell G. Calma

Article Type: Original Research | Indexed Archive: Volume 11

The study utilized a quantitative, cross-sectional, and correlational design. Using Google forms for data collection, the global and domains of trait EI scores were measured using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Short Form and three teaching competencies from Teacher's Sense of Efficacy Scale Short Form which was gathered from 57 radiologic technology educators....
