PRESIDENT’S WELCOME
Error in medicine has become headline news in recent years. We have a plenary session focusing on ‘error’ – our approach
to it and methods of reduction. The Francis Report has potential major implications for the NHS and healthcare in general.
We will hear how the airline industry tackles reducing error. In addition to multiple clinical streams there will be opportunities
for updates on outsourced reporting, teleradiology, radiation protection and the practicalities of research.
We are delighted to have a number of high profile speakers from overseas, particularly North America and are very grateful
for the continued support from colleagues in industry. Schools are joining us for the final day – this should encourage the
next generation to follow in the footsteps we leave for them.
WELCOME
PROGRAMME
MONDAY
SESSIONS
Please mingle, network and catch up with old friends at the evening wine reception in the hall, at the AXrEM hosted dinner
and throughout the congress in general. We hope you have a great time in Manchester.
INFORMATION
Following feedback we have built on what proved popular in previous years. There is a wide range of
sessions with varying formats: didactic ‘state of the art’ lectures from speakers recognised as experts
in their fields; interactive presentations with the opportunity to vote on various scenarios presented/
questions posed; workstation sessions on OsiriX– basic, advanced and on specific topics; live hands on demonstrations
with ultrasound and opportunities to observe, and participate in, debate around imaging.
VICE PRESIDENTS
& WORKING PARTY
Welcome to UKRC 2014. The working party of vice presidents, session organisers, committee members of
specialist interest groups and Profile Productions have toiled to put together a diverse, comprehensive
congress which, we very much hope, all members of the multi-disciplinary team, delivering medical
imaging and intervention, will find enjoyable and educational.

Diffuse lung disease, as an incidental finding,
is seen with increasing frequency as thoracic
CT is more widely used in modern high
resolution scanners. It is important that
general radiologists have an understanding of
diffuse lung disease and are able to recognise
characteristic patterns of abnormality.
This workshop provides lectures and cases
for review on individual workstations.
The lectures will show how to interpret lung
HRCT and demonstrate the various patterns
of abnormality seen in diffuse lung disease.
Cases on individual workstations give the
opportunity to practice lung HRCT
interpretation with the guidance of the tutors.
The aim of the session is to increase
confidence in diagnosis when reporting.

The team working on the clinical streams have put together
a very comprehensive programme covering almost every
body system and modality. All delegates will find that
there is a wide range of sessions to attend. We aimed to
provide days with various themes – there will be a choice
of attending all sessions in a particular specialty and
also ‘mixing and matching’ between sessions of various
subspecialist interests. Some topics/lectures are very
specific; others are more general for those requiring a
background update or introduction.
TUESDAY

During the three days of the conference there are over 30
clinical sessions encompassing 9 imaging subspecialties; in
addition to traditional lectures there will be sessions with the
opportunity to participate in interactive voting on various cases,
observe multidisciplinary team meeting scenarios and review
cases with an expert on Osirix workstations.

stream of UKRC 2014. On Monday we will cover how technology
can be optimised for multi-disciplinary and discrepancy meetings,
which are environments of shared learning. We will also
discuss effective collaboration between radiology departments
and other healthcare staff and service providers. With PACS
replacements taking place throughout UK, on Tuesday, we will
look at Procurement options and strategies, and also the Vendor
Neutral Archive concepts which are becoming very much a
part of the PACS replacement projects. On Tuesday we will
be discussing current and upcoming advanced functionality of
PACS and highlighting what additional features are available in the
current and next generation of PACS, including a digest of recent
developments. Following this, on Wednesday expanding electronic
requesting (Ordercomms) beyond the traditional boundaries will be
discussed. Emergency night-time teleradiology discussions also
on Wednesday is very topical considering the new 7day working

Vice President, Advances in technology
The Advances in technology stream may
have a new VP but the programme for
Manchester 2014 builds on the successes
of previous years.
Once again, UKRC will host a series of
masterclass in the service delivery stream for delegates on
the application of IRR and IRMER legislation in their area of
practice. For the RPS there are two classes; the first on the
topics of personnel monitoring and employer cooperation and
a second on QA and handover systems. A third masterclass
will be on training and training record requirements for IRMER.
The advances stream runs seven sessions for 2014 covering topics
on Quality control in the digital era, virtual clinical trials, eye dose
monitoring, issues around advances in interventional radiology and
the pixel’s journey looking at the possible technical issues when
data is transferred through a PACS system. The British Medical
Ultrasound Society (BMUS) will be organising a session concentrating
on the advances in practice around contrast enhanced ultrasound
including the application of NICE guidelines in this area.
The Advances in technology stream aims to inspire
delegates by presenting cutting edge ideas in technology
whilst appreciating the issues and practical solutions to the
introduction of new techniques and changes in practice. The
sessions will be varied and cover a wide range of techniques
and modalities relevant to the radiological Congress audience.
As Vice President for Advances in Technology, I look forward
to my first year as the VP and welcoming you to Manchester.

role in the investigation and management of ischaemic
heart disease (IHD) by being able to answer accurately
key questions. These being ventricular function, viability
and ischaemia? Cine MRI is the gold standard for
evaluating ventricular `function and volumes, in addition
is considered the gold standard for viability by using late
gadolinium imaging to accurately assess the transmural
extent of infarction, and therefore able to predict functional
recovery of dysfunctional myocardium in patients after MI.
Stress perfusion MRI allows detection of subendocardial
ischaemia with superior diagnostic accuracy. CMR also
has an increasing role in the management of acute
coronary syndrome, by being able to characterise the
pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction. Risk
stratification, reperfusion injury, prognosis, and also efficacy
of treatment strategies can be assessed with CMR.

The aim of this presentation is to share our experience
of using an “AnatomageTM table” (interactive anatomy
dissection table) and other interactive technologies in the
teaching of anatomy to undergraduate radiography students.
An underpinning knowledge of anatomy is considered to be
a fundamental part of the practice of diagnostic radiography
across all imaging modalities. The HCPC standards
of proficiency for radiographers and the College of
Radiographers Career Development framework both require
radiographers to have a detailed knowledge of anatomy.
Changes are taking place in the presentation of anatomy
to students. Use of diagrams and drawings are now
being superseded by more technological displays which
facilitate interaction and permit the students to visualise
anatomy in three dimensions. The recent establishment of
the “AnatomageTM” table that offers life-size, interactive
anatomy visualisation has given the teaching team a new
way of displaying and teaching anatomy.
The potential benefits of using developing technology is
that anatomy teaching could be made more dynamic and
enable the student to develop an understanding of complex
anatomical relationships and how this is represented in
medical imaging.
We surveyed the attitudes of undergraduate students to the
new “Anatomage table TM” and to other techniques used to
teach anatomy.
This paper will outline the interactive technologies used
to teach undergraduate radiography students and an
evaluation of their perceived benefits.
Content: Our educational objectives and outcomes were
identified by educators and radiologists, and are based
upon guidelines from the Anatomical Society and the RCR.
These outcomes were compared with undergraduate
problem based learning objectives and edited to reflect
those that could be taught using imaging. Fourteen students
were purposively sampled to take part in six teaching
sessions delivered between January and March 2013. Each
session was two hours long, providing didactic teaching
followed by facilitated learning using OsiriX.
Outcomes: The pilot was assessed by regular feedback
surveys. The majority of students rated the overall quality of
each session as ‘outstanding’ (range: 62 – 93%). However,
our first session highlighted that class interaction needed
development. We achieved this with the addition of an
OsiriX-based tutorial to transition between lecture and
facilitated learning.
Discussion: Our results demonstrate that an OsiriX-based
module is a valued, practical method of teaching anatomy
and radiology. Our study will be used to drive a special
study module for second year medical students. Further
assessment will form part of a proposal to extend this
method of teaching to all students.

requires the acquisition of a significant amount of anatomy
knowledge. Traditional plain films and barium studies have
been useful for many years to aid understanding in the
dissection room. Newer techniques, such as CT with 3D
formatting are revolutionising the teaching of anatomy.
Pimping your CV
Cadaveric CT and MR with anatomical section comparison
provide ideal teaching material. Traditional dissection
techniques may be partly replaced by computerised ‘virtual
dissection’. In turn cadaveric specimens may provide
a safe way of learning radiographic and interventional
radiology techniques without patient risk. ‘Living’ anatomy
may be seen in real time on ultrasound. Radiologists with
their expert knowledge of anatomy are in an ideal position
to be anatomy demonstrators. A structured rotation
through anatomy will benefit both departments and the
undergraduates they teach.

Many attempts in healthcare to understand the causes of
errors and accidents, and the subsequent interventions
to reduce them, have focused on direct changes in
human behaviour, which can be expensive, unreliable and
frequently unsuccessful. Ken will illustrate how application

SP003: Structural MRI findings in prodromal
schizophrenia – A meta-analysis
Patrick Duffy, Thomas Frodl; William Torreggiani
Tallaght Hospital Trinity College, Dublin
Objectives: To perform a meta-analysis on literature
pertaining to structural MRI findings in prodromal stages of
schizophrenia
Content: 63 papers involving structural MRI of persons at
risk of schizophrenia were identified and a meta-analysis
was carried out comparing findings in different regions of
interest. We show where there is concordance and where
discrepancies exist in the literature.
Relevance: Many people who develop schizophrenia
first experience prodromal symptoms, such as auditory
hallucinations or a marked change in psychological function.
Recent studies in populations at high risk of developing
schizophrenia have shown structural brain changes in
a number of anatomical areas. Interestingly these have
differed from the classical structural brain changes seen
in schizophrenia (reduced amygdalar and hippocampal
volumes, increased ventricle size). However the results
reported have not been consistent.
Discussion: This meta-analysis was carried out to clarify
the structural brain changes that have been reported
so far in the literature, and focused on structural MRI
findings in persons experiencing prodromal symptoms of
schizophrenia. Structural imaging could potentially give
valuable diagnostic and prognostic information and assess
response to treatment. It could also help us to understand
why some people who experience prodromal symptoms
go on to develop frank psychosis while others do not.
However at present the role of imaging as a clinical tool in
schizophrenia and its prodromal stages remains unclear.

The transition from analogue to digital imaging of the
breast using X-rays has introduced new ways of imaging
the breast including traditional 2D projection imaging of
the compressed breast i.e. X-ray mammography (XRM);
digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and contrast enhanced
spectral mammography (CESM). The question addressed
in this presentation is how we ensure that this equipment
is optimal. For XRM it is important to choose the right
equipment and select sufficient radiation dose. Observer
studies have shown that calcification detection is quite
sensitive to the dose level used. Simple test objects using
aluminium squares are an effective means of ensuring
sufficient image quality across a range of breast thickness.
The process of optimising DBT and CESM is less well
developed and research to do this is on-going. The
approaches being developed to optimise DBT and CESM

Obtaining the most useful images and data with ultrasound
has traditionally required considerable interaction between
the operator and machine, adapting the choice of probe,
scanning technique and system settings according to the
patient, organ, tissue propagation conditions and clinical
information required. As a result, ultrasound has a reputation
for being a highly operator dependent modality. In recent
years, ultrasound systems have become increasingly
sophisticated, incorporating system pre-sets and greater
automation of system settings. Although this has made it
is easier and quicker to obtain a reasonable image in most
situations, it remains the case that operator decisions are
needed to maximise image quality. Increased sophistication
has also brought a proliferation of advanced modes such
as tissue harmonic imaging, compounding, Doppler
methods, microbubble specific imaging and a wide variety
of elastography systems. The newer the imaging mode, the
less automation there tends to be, and this is particularly true
of elastography. This presentation will provide an introduction
to the basic physics knowledge that is needed to optimise
scanner settings and scanning technique, as well as
recommended methods for obtaining the best images.

INDEX
The NHS Breast Cancer Screening Programme has recently
issued technical guidelines on breast MRI screening for
high risk women. These guidelines outline the minimum
standards that must be reached for breast MRI, covering
system field strengths, coils and sequence types.
However, MRI sequences are governed by many different
parameters, such as flip angle and sampling pattern, with
a wide range of available settings. In Dynamic ContrastEnhanced (DCE) MRI in particular, parameter variation can
result in guideline-compliant sequences with substantial
differences in the shape of contrast-agent uptake curves
and in fat suppression reliability. These differences make
DCE-MRI sequences difficult to compare and evaluate and,
at worst, can influence diagnostic accuracy. This talk will
cover the effects of common parameter changes on breast
MRI, with a particular focus on DCE-MRI sequences, and
will demonstrate the value of retrospective examination
assessment to evaluate MRI sequence performance.

Discrepancy meetings are an important aspect of clinical
governance. The RCR published advice on how to conduct
meetings suggests that discrepancies are scored using a
scale: 0 = No error, to 3 = major error. We have found that
scoring of radiology discrepancies is highly subjective and
shows poor inter rater agreement. The aim of discrepancy
meetings is to reduce error occurrence by sharing
experience and identifying avoidable root causes of error. In
this presentation we will discuss whether scoring is a valid
exercise and explore the educational role of error analysis
using air accident investigation as a model for response to
untoward events.
Whilst most users are familiar with traditional “PACS”
workstations, and the alternatives used for “web viewing”,
MDTMs have their own special requirements. This session
will therefore explore the requirements of MDTMs and the
technological solutions available in the following areas:
• Provision of high resolution, high quality “diagnostic”
image displays, which need to be visible to a large group
of people.
• A “worklist” facility to allow meeting organisers to provide
“pre-determined” data to ensure efficient use of the
meeting time, but including allowance for discovery and
display of additional data when needed.
• Integration with as many clinical data sources as
possible, including not only the local RIS & PACS, but
also their counterparts in other departments such as
pathology, and equivalents in other hospitals from which
the patient may have been referred.

Overuse injuries of the ankle and foot are common in the
general and athletic populations. The wide spectrum of overuse
injuries includes bony, juxta-articular, articular or tendon injuries.
Some conditions such as impingement syndromes and stress
fractures may be missed on initial physical examination,
and patients with such injuries often present to a sports or
orthopedic clinic with persistent symptoms. With the increasing
participation in sports, health care professionals involved
in the care of athletes at all levels must have a thorough
understanding of overuse conditions of the foot and ankle, and
the use of imaging in the management of these conditions. This

Ultrasound guided intervention in achilles
tendinopathy
Imaging the coronary arteries with CT
The anatomy, biology and physiology of tendinopathy is
not fully understood but the continuum model suggests
that there are 3 stages: reactive change, dysrepair and
degeneration. There may be different stages of tendinopathy
at different locations in the tendon (particularly in high
level athletes) although one usually predominates as the
cause for symptoms. Whilst tendon load management
and rehabilitation provide the mainstay of treatment of
tendinopathy, ultrasound guided interventional techniques
can be used to ameliorate the reactive and degenerative
stages in patients whose symptoms are persistent or severe.
I will discuss the role, technique and present a review of the
literature for the following ultrasound guided procedures:
• Anti-inflammatory injections.
• Injections which cause obliteration of neovessels,
including high volume guided injection (HVGI) and
sclerotherapy.
• Injections which cause stimulation of a healing response,
including prolotherapy and platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection.

Adapting images for detector characteristics
It is difficult to study the effect of detector type on screening
mammography due to the number of confounding factors
present (different women, imaging systems, dose, grids and
procedures). These confounding factors can be removed by
using one set of images acquired on one imaging system.
This talk will cover a method to characterize the imaging
systems in terms of noise, sharpness, and glare and show
how to undertake the conversion process. This is a powerful
method for gaining an understanding of the effect of image

Advances in cardiac CT imaging mean that it is now
possible to assess anatomy, function, perfusion and viability
in one rapid diagnostic test. CT coronary angiography now
has a diagnostic accuracy for the identification of significant
coronary stenosis similar to invasive coronary angiography.
In addition, CT myocardial perfusion imaging can aid in
the assessment of intermediate stenosis, heavily calcified
vessels or coronary artery stents. Multimodality imaging has
shown the diagnostic accuracy of CT myocardial perfusion
imaging in comparison with MRI, fractional flow reserve
and oxygen 15 labeled water PET imaging. Importantly,
CT myocardial perfusion imaging is now possible at a
low radiation dose, comparative to conventional invasive
coronary angiography or nuclear medicine techniques.
Current research aims to optimize this technique as part of a
comprehensive cardiac CT protocol.
Modelling has been frequently used in investigating X-ray
imaging systems. We describe a hybrid technique for
modelling the entire imaging chain of cone beam CT. The
modelling starts with simulating the X-ray generation,
filtration and collimation, continues with rotational
projections, calculates the 3D dose distributions, produces
primary and scatter images using different methods, applies
the measured characteristics of the flat panel detector,
and ends with a sequence of realistic 2D projections for
tomographic reconstruction. This hybrid technique is
validated and has the flexibility for various applications.

David Dance was Head of the Physics
Department at The Royal Marsden
Hospital (Chelsea) where he led research
into the physics of X-ray imaging. He retired in 2005, but
the lure of mammography physics research proved too
great and he is presently a Consultant Physicist at the Royal
Surrey County Hospital and Visiting Professor at the Surrey
University. The results of David’s Monte Carlo calculations
form the basis of the UK, European and IAEA protocols for
mammographic dosimetry. David has an MD honoris causa
from Linköping University in Sweden and has been chairman
of both Symposium Mammographicum and UKMPG.
Methods: A conventional diagnostic X-ray tube was used
in conjunction with a range of apertures to investigate
improvements in spatial resolution using a line-pairs test
object. Phase-contrast effects were investigated by varying
source-to-object and object-to-receptor distances using a
2-French catheter as a clinically realistic test object.
Results: For magnification radiography using a computed
radiography receptor and conventional X-ray tube with a 1mm
nominal focus size, the limiting spatial resolution was improved
from 3.55 line-pairs mm-1 for a conventional contact
image, to, 5.6 line-pairs mm-1 for a 2x magnified view with
a 250µm aperture. For in-line phase-contrast radiography,
phase-contrast enhancement of a 2-French catheter was
demonstrated, and the expected trends with variations in
source-to-object and object-to-receptor distances were
found. Images of a neonatal phantom demonstrated a subtle
improvement in visibility of a superimposed 1-French catheter
simulating a percutaneously inserted central catheter for no
increase in patient radiation dose.
Conclusions: Spatial resolution improvement and visible
phase-contrast can be produced in clinically relevant objects
using a pseudo-microfocus geometry at X-ray energies in
the normal diagnostic range, using conventional diagnostic
X-ray tubes and image receptors. The disadvantages of the
proposal are the large distances required to produce phasecontrast, and limitations imposed by the resulting tube loading.
Advances in knowledge: It is possible to use conventional
diagnostic x-ray equipment in applications that normally
require microfocus x-ray sources. This presents some
possibilities for clinical applications.

Objectives: To review the utility of dual-energy computed
tomography (DECT) in the evaluation and treatment of
patients presenting with renal stone disease.
Content: 33 patients with renal stones evaluated with dualenergy image CT over a 12 month period were used as the
database for this educational exhibit.
In this exhibit, we provide a description of the basic physics
underlying DECT and its application to the analysis of renal
stones. In addition,we demonstrate the different types of
renal stones that can be detected on DECT.
Finally, we discuss the impact of stone analysis in the
management by DECT and treatment of patients with
renal stones.
Relevance: DECT allows accurate assessment of renal
stones and thus have direct applications in optimal patient
management.
Discussion: Renal stones can contain a variety of materials.
Knowing the composition of a stone influences clinical
decisions. 24-hour urine collection can be used to determine
the possible composition of a patient’s stone,however this
test can be inaccurate. Thus, stone fragment analysis is
an important approach in the management of renal stone
disease, but relies on either patient retrieval of passed
stone or retrieval during an invasive urological procedure.
Although only in its infancy, the emergence of DECT as a
method of renal stone analysis in this institution has made a
significant impact on patient care as it not only allows noninvasive, pre-procedural stone composition analysis but can
directly influence the management of these patients based
on analysis findings.

Prof Mayneord dedicated his professional life to the
interaction of physics and medicine. Through his work in
this field our understanding of disease, by utilizing detection
devices that rely on complex physics, has expanded to
a degree that in some ways there is a danger that it may
supplant clinical skills. It is that fascinating interface of
physics and medicine; which has been combined in positron
emission tomography (PET) and has become the gold
standard methodology for in-vivo molecular imaging. The
technique is both sensitive and with the advent of combined
PET-CT also we now have good spatial resolution. These
techniques were first used to understand more fully the
methods by which cancer grows and also to monitor the
effectiveness of therapy. However, many of the agents used
in cancer imaging such as F-18 FDG, F-18 NaF and F-18
FMISO can be used to image atheroma which kills as many
people as cancer. Therefore this lecture will present the
latest in research using different molecular imaging probes
and PET-CT to advance our knowledge of the mechanisms
of atherosclerotic disease and guide therapies. I hope

Look no hands….QC at a distance
The production of digital images enables objective quality
scores and allows easy transport of images. Both aspects
were the basics of a networking approach for automated
QC at a distance in our mammography screening network.
Our software solution is operational since 10 years now
and connects 100 digital systems on a total of 103
mammography units for centralized QC. Medical physicists
visit the mammography units only twice a year for a detailed
investigation following the euref protocol. Every day, the local
personnel in the mammography units acquires 2 acquisitions
of a homogenous PMMA test object and performs a test
of the monitors using the MoniQA pattern. The raw data of
the test images and a monitor score are sent to a DICOM
receiving tool, DICOM tags related with quality and exposure
are extracted and the images are subsequently processed
to provide noise power spectra and thumbnail images of a
series of quality parameters. Images with percentage values
relative to a reference region are color coded.

SP006: Quantifying the errors associated
with followup measurements of ADC when
assessing response neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Shelley Waugh, Lukasz Priba; Sarah Vinnicombe
Ninewells Hospital and Medical School, University of
Dundee
Introduction: Apparent Diffusion Coefficients (ADC),
calculated using diffusion-weighted MRI are increasingly
used for assessing response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy
(NAC) in breast cancer patients.
However, little data exists on ADC measurement
reproducibility in a clinical environment. This work
investigated the magnitude of the effect of various
extraneous factors compared to changes resulting from
early therapy response.
Methods: Standard diffusion sequences were acquired on a
3.0T MRI scanner (b=50,800s/mm2, voxels:1.8´1.8´4mm).

Oxford Handbook of Breast Disease Management.
Scanner stability was assessed using an ice-water phantom,
scanned weekly for 6 weeks.
Ten healthy volunteers were scanned twice, four weeks
apart to assess scan-scan variability. ADC was measured at
nipple level in homogeneous parenchyma.
Thirty-seven patients receiving NAC underwent MRI pre-NAC
(baseline), after 2 cycles and post-treatment. Whole-tumour
(WT) and lowest-tumour (min) (using 5´5-pixel ROI) ADCs were
measured using baseline and interim scans on two occasions.
Final response assessment utilised RECIST criteria.
Coefficients of reproducibility (CoR) and intra-class
coefficients (ICC) were calculated.
Results: Scanner stability was excellent (average phantom
ADC 1.089´10-3mm2/s, coefficient of variance 6.6%).
ADC values from left and right breasts of healthy
volunteers were consistent between baseline and followup (CoR=0.122´10-3mm2/s [8.0% of average ADC];
ICC=0.811).
For patients, reproducibility was excellent: CoRWT­=1%
(ICC=0.983), CoRmin=16% (ICC=0.976).
Mean ADC changes in patients with complete response,
partial response or stable disease were 19.7%, 11.1% and
6.1% respectively.
PRESENTER
INDEX
Conclusions: The magnitude of changes in ADCWT from
baseline to interim in patients who attain CR by RECIST
criteria exceeds that due to sources of measurement error.
Thus, ADCWT can be used to identify these patients.

Maximum percentage enhancement, wash-in and washout rates for DCE-MRI and ADC mean from DWI-MRI were
determined using ROIs covering the whole lesion and a focal
area. Analysis was undertaken using the MR Workspace
software.
Two ROI sizes were selected from a single axial slice
using the T1 perfusion scan at 2 minutes post-contrast
administration: 1. The largest area (whole lesion) - freehand.
2. focal ROI measuring 50-60 mm2 - ellipse.
Outcomes: Using a paired T-test, there was a statistically
significant difference between results from whole-lesion and
focal ROIs:
- maximum percentage enhancement : mean 10.6%,
standard deviation (SD) 18.4%, p=0.003- wash-in rate:
mean -2.6/sec, SD 2.5/sec, p<0.001- ADC mean: -0.064 x
10-3 mm2/sec, SD 0.166 x 10-3 mm2/sec, p=0.04.
The difference in wash-out rate was not significant (mean
-0.02/sec, SD 0.55/sec, p=0.15).
Conclusion: ROI size has a significant impact on
measurement parameters and quantification on MRI:
standardisation should be attempted.
Aim/Method: We aim to determine whether patients
discussed at the end of a MDM are given less time for
discussion. Using a busy Gynaecology Oncology MDM as
an example, we recorded the time spent on each patient.
A comparison was made between the first half of the MDM
and the second half of the MDM, to determine whether
case discussions towards the end were ‘rushed’ due to
time pressures.
Results and Discussion: The length of patient discussion in
the first half of the MDM was almost double that of cases
discussed in the second half. (4.1 minutes vs 2.3 minutes).
The cause for this appears multifactorial; case complexity
and time pressures are both influential. Possible solutions
include longer meetings, case prioritisation, stricter rules
regarding those cases suitable for discussion, and time
limit per patient. MDM review is an essential part of the
patient management pathway, however it is important to
be aware of factors that may have a negative impact on
patient management.

SP010: The role of 18FDG PET/CT verus MDP
bone scan in assessing metastatic bone disease
in breast cancer
Raekha Kumar; Bhupinder Sharma; Axel Martin;
Anastasia Constantinidou
Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Trust; Northwick Park
Hospital, NWLH NHS Trust
Background: Several imaging modalities are available in
staging advanced breast cancer. Bone scans (BS) have
traditionally been used to investigate bone metastases but
increasing evidence suggests PET/CT could be superior in
detecting osteolytic bone disease.
Aim: To review whether there is discordance between 18
FDG PET/CT and BS in staging bone metastases.
Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken of breast
cancer patients having PET/CT and BS between January
2004 and February 2013 at the Royal Marsden Hospital
(RMH). The RMH PET database and Electronic Patients
Records (EPR) were used for data collection. Studies
completed within 90 days of each other were included. Note
was made of concordance or discordance between the two
modalities.
Results: 78 female patients were identified. The median
interval between the two scans was 23 days. Findings
were discordant in 17 cases (22%). In over half of these
cases (10) BS suggested the presence of metastatic bone
disease whereas PET/CT showed no evidence of disease.
In 6 cases where BS showed no bone metastases PET/CT
confirmed the presence of metastases. In all these cases
the clinical management of the patient changed based on
the results of the PET/CT.
Conclusion: In this study PET/CT appeared superior to BS
in detecting the presence or absence of metastases. This
suggests that PET/CT is a more sensitive imaging modality
to define metastatic bone disease. A larger prospective
study is needed to ascertain whether PET/CT should
altogether replace bone scans in the staging of metastatic
breast cancer.

months experience with this scanner, which is used for MRI of
knees, wrists, ankles and elbows (in order of frequency of use).
This scanner has a small footprint and is of significantly lower
cost than a full size MRI scanner. Despite the low-field 0.31
Tesla magnet, we have been able to produce diagnostic and
comparable images for the scanning of extremities for our
Orthopaedic referrals. It also matches the workload of a full
size scanner. We have also been able to expand the scope
of our practice to accept MRI Knee referrals from General
Practice, following specific referral criteria. In addition, its
design allows for claustrophobic patients to be scanned as
well. Overall patient experience is also improved.
We will demonstrate the parameters used for our scans as well

The introduction of hybrid imaging technology has begun
to redefine working practice in nuclear medicine. Emerging
hybrid imaging techniques and evolving roles have
created opportunities and challenges for nuclear medicine
practitioners, and this is coupled with changes to traditional
professional relationships with other health care disciplines.
Organisational ethnography was utilised as a research
methodology to observe working practice at three clinical
hybrid imaging environments and undertake interviews with
nuclear medicine practitioners. The emerging culture and
professional identity of the hybrid imaging workforce was
explored using symbolic interactionism which highlighted
opportunities and challenges associated with introducing
new technology. Practitioner diaries (weblogs) were also
used to supplement the data collection and understand
the current position of the workforce. Observational and
thematic analysis was undertaken in order to identify a
number of key themes which included ‘cultural lag’ in terms
of the delayed adoption of new technology, ‘occupational
shift’ around traditional tasks now being undertaken
by other health disciplines, a lack of clarity around
‘technological domain ownership’ and variable levels of
‘flat collaboration’. Positive aspects of the study included
evidence of role development, autonomous working practice
and decision making capabilities. Innovative approaches to
service delivery were documented, creating an occasion for
reshaping the professional identity of the nuclear medicine
practitioner. The emerging hybrid imaging environment has
created an opportunity to provide a patient centric approach
to service delivery, appropriate training models and aligns to
a number of government strategies focusing on innovation
and improvement within the health care service.

Medical Ultrasound programme at City University London
has been no exception. To enhance the face to face
learning time within the part-time postgraduate programme
we developed a method of blended learning, which
involves on-line lectures and guided self study, supported
by interactive film viewing sessions, group discussions,
simulation and games within the lectures. Additionally online case discussions are used to share clinical cases from
the clinical workplace and develop collaborative learning
and assessment in the clinical modules. The term “flipped

Content: A systemic review was performed in line with the
PRISMA statement. MEDLINE and EMBASE databases
were searched using the terms ‘magnetic resonance
imaging’ and ‘acute scrotum’. Search limits were applied
to articles published in English, in the last twenty years and
with an available abstract.
Relevance: Surgical exploration for suspected testicular
torsion is a time-critical decision taken after clinical
assessment of the acute scrotum. The use of Colour
Doppler Ultrasound in this context is well established,
however MRI is emerging as a useful modality in assessing
testicular morphology and blood flow when clinical and
ultrasonic findings are equivocal.
Impact/outcomes: Nine studies were eligible for inclusion.
These included five case series reviewing a total of 115
patients, a case report and three reviews. No randomised or
controlled studies were available.

diagnostic accuracy of each phase varies greatly for
different diseases. Image acquisition should be optimised
for multiplanar reconstruction so images can be reviewed
in orthogonal planes to maximise diagnostic accuracy.
The indications for CT urography remain controversial and
consensus has not been reached on the subject. The principal
indication is investigating haematuria, other indications
include iatrogenic injury to the ureter and bladder, trauma to
the genitourinary tract, investigation of fistula, unexplained
hydronephrosis, planning for percutaneous nephrolithotomy,
living related kidney donor assessment and recurrent UTIs.
Contraindications are few but centre around whether iodinated

Angiography and angioplasty are procedures that form
part of hospital cardiac services however patients are
commonly sent to tertiary hospitals rather than being treated
in their local hospital due to technical and clinical service
constraints. Our aim was to deliver a first class, modern and
efficient service and meet increasing demand for access to
a broader range of services.
Our challenges included:
- Ensuring all national standards are met for providing
appropriate cardiac care
- Delivering advanced techniques and an emergency
service 24/7
- Managing and maximising the day case throughput
- Inpatients seen and treated in a timely way to minimize
delays
Developing the services included the following focus areas:
- Installation of state of the art facilities and equipment
- Excellence in operational management
- Improving the patient experience
- Collaborative service development
We will present the solutions we have developed to meet these
challenges, working in partnership with a multidisciplinary team
including cardiologists, physiologists, radiographers, nurses
and administrators. Our approach included:
- Establishing pre-assessment clinics with a preassessment questionnaire and face to face appointments
- Extending the working day
- Developing an enhanced staff skill mix
- Providing advice and support for medication and care
queries
Our changes have resulted in an increase in angioplasty
capacity of 45% in the past year. High patient satisfaction
rates are maintained, with 97% of patients rating the
service excellent, very good or good. Team working and
communication has been strengthened between the cardiac
unit, other departments and the tertiary centre.

Components of the virtual chain – the task. A Virtual Clinical
Trial (VCT) is an extremely powerful method for defining and
developing new medical imaging systems. Developing and
validating a medical imaging system using prototyping and
real observer studies is time consuming and costly. A VCT is
conducted using a simulation chain from image generation
to visualization [1,2]. Within the pipeline, intrinsic parameters
can be modified without expensive physical prototypes.
VCTs cannot fully replace physical experiments, but can
provide a detailed understanding of the design problem and
development path. While estimating clinical performance is
important, the most challenging part of a VCT is to establish
correlation between physical parameters and simulated
performance. VCTs have proven useful on multiple occasions,
including the development of a new medical display
dedicated to breast tomosynthesis demonstrating significantly
improved performance [3]. Substantial research and develop.

Medical imaging systems and medical images should be
assessed in terms of how well they fulfill their purpose,
i.e., how useful they are in a given clinical process (task)
performed by a physician (observer). Accordingly, medical
images are best evaluated by means of observer studies:
the better the observers perform the task using the images,
the better the images. Currently, studies with real (human)
observers still remain necessary in the process of final
product validation. However, they are increasingly being
replaced by virtual observers (mathematical models) in the
stage of product development and early product validation,
thereby greatly cutting the cost and time. This talk will focus
on the virtual observers, the principles of the models as
well as the methodology of the virtual observer studies. We

Genetic factors
In a small proportion of cases of familial breast cancer, the
cancer is caused by high penetrance mutations in genes
such as BRCA1 and BRCA2. When this is the case, genetic
testing has a clear predictive value, and there are effective
clinical protocols for the management of individuals in
families. In the majority of cases, often where family history
is less pronounced, the risk of breast cancer is multifactorial,
conferred by a combination of environmental factors and
genetic polymorphisms, each of which only confers a small
risk. It is recognised that information from these genetic
polymorphisms can be used to predict risk of cancer.
However, the clinical protocols for using this information are
not fully developed. it is likely that they will only be useful
when genetic information is combined with other clinical
information, such as family history and breast density.

MR and high risk screening
MRI screening with a dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)
technique is recommended for women who have a significantly
increased lifetime risk of developing breast cancer because
of its improved sensitivity compared to mammography for
detecting small cancers. DCE-MRI can identify disease that
cannot be seen on mammography or ultrasound and it is not
affected by breast density. This lecture reviews the current
status of MR in high risk screening including risk stratification,
imaging features of screening-detected cancers and novel
scanning techniques which might further improve diagnosis

Following an acute interventional referral, providing the best

On patient transfer to a primary PCI centre, every second
counts to maximise outcomes. Recent cardiac images need
to be available at the click of a button to enable the cardiac
cath lab team to ascertain previously stented vessels,
possible bypass grafts and viable heart muscle.
As a significant shift in practice, online image transfer
eliminates the possibility that an image-containing CD will be
lost when patients visit a new institution. If a patient forgets
the CD or if it is misplaced, previous options were to either
postpone the service or repeat the coronary angiograms,
increasing costs and radiation dose. This talk discusses how

There are clear national drivers and programmes to drive
integration in healthcare delivery, as there is to integrate digital
care records. But none of this can happen or is relevant unless
it answers a clinical need or improves patient care, experience,
safety or outcome. In this session we explore the national

seek to understand what integrating patient information means
to clinical practice and what patient information actually means.

Spinal lesions: What should I look for other
than degenerative disc disease?
Lesions involving the spinal canal and its contents (the
spinal cord and nerve roots) may present with back pain or
neurological deficits. Whilst there may be certain important
clues in the clinical history and examination, imaging of
the spine is crucial to arriving at the correct diagnosis. MRI
is the imaging investigation of choice as this gives good
soft tissue contrast of the contents of the spinal canal.
Intravenous contrast may be needed in certain situations.
CT best assesses bone detail. This lecture will provide an
overview of common important spinal conditions other than
degenerative disease that reporting radiologists should
always keep in mind.

Guidelines:
Imaging Guidelines for imaging the severely injured child
What defines a child? What is severe trauma in relation to a
child? How should a child with severe trauma be imaged?
These are simple questions but the answers are complex.
There have been guidelines published by the RCR for the
management of the severely injured patient but these are
not applicable to children. Injuries regarded as common
and serious in the adult population such as spinal or pelvic
injury are exceedingly rare in pre-adolescent children.
Injuries regarded as life threatening in the adult population,
for example, liver and spleen trauma are routinely managed
conservatively in children. In addition it has become
increasing clear recently that the cancer risk of CT in
childhood is real, significant and increases with the youth
of the child. The use of adult protocols and in particular
the “whole body” CT trauma survey is not appropriate in
childhood. Intercollegiate RCR and RCPCH guidelines
for the management of the severely injured child will be
presented to assist radiologists and clinicians, dealing with
the severely injured child, to base imaging decisions on the
best available evidence.

Cervical spine trauma forms 2-3% of blunt injuries and can
lead to devastating results. Road traffic accidents are the
cause of spinal injuries in younger population as compared
to falls in older group. Early diagnosis is absolutely essential
for correct management of these patients. Plain Xrays
used to be the primary investigation however these are not
very sensitive. Multidetector CT is now the investigation of
choice due to high resolution, fast scanning time and easy
availability. MR is helpful in assessment of extent of soft
tissue injury and spinal canal compromise in cases of cervical
injuries diagnosed on CT. MR has also been helpful in cases
of occult spinal injury or to diagnose the cause neurological

Ultrasound of abdominal trauma
The role of contrast enhanced ultrasound in paediatric
imaging is expanding. Initially its use was limited to voiding
ultrasonography as an alternative to fluoroscopy. More
recently we have used this modality in the characterisation
of newly detected liver lesions in children with chronic liver
disease and suspected malignancy. CEUS is now routinely
used in our centre in the work up of focal liver lesions
presenting de novo in children.
CT remains the gold standard for imaging of trauma in
children. With the use of CEUS the radiation burden of
repeat CT to this vulnerable group of patients is dramatically
reduced. CEUS can also be used in the imaging of children
with testicular injuries to assist surgical planning.

CT of musculoskeletal trauma
CT has become a commonly used modality to evaluate
children for significant injury. This talk focuses on
problems that may be encountered while assessing the
musculoskeletal system with CT. To accurately report
paediatric imaging the radiologist should be aware of
anatomical bony variants in the growing skeleton such as
physeal lines and accessory ossification centres. In the
severely injured child CT can demonstrate spinal trauma
and pelvic fractures. Focussed CT scanning is employed in
the pre-operative evaluation of complex fractures such as
triplane ankle fractures and comminuted elbow injuries to
aid surgical intervention. CT also plays a role in the longterm follow up of fractures to assess for possible non-union,
physeal fusion and growth arrest.

such as reporting, barium enemas and ultrasound for many
years, interventional radiology has remained the domain of

The remit was to improve the quality of service for the
provision of diagnostic imaging to infertility patients
undergoing the hysterosalpingogram (HSG) procedure. The
HSG is an intimately invasive and emotionally challenging
procedure for the patient. Tubal blockage can account for
up to 25% of infertility cases. Traditionally the procedure
was performed by a consultant gynaecologist, a consultant
radiologist, a radiographer (AHP) and a nurse. The role
advancement of the AHP is widely accepted throughout the
medical arena and I had personally advanced my role from
diagnostic radiographer to advanced practitioner status
specialising in gastrointestinal imaging. Due to this, I was
asked to explore the efficacy of the advanced practitioner
performing and managing the HSG procedure. Today two
AHP’s manage, perform and report the HSG procedure
and the service has grown from offering 3 to 4 appointment
slots per week, using the old traditional system, to now
offering and successfully performing approximately 12 to
15 appointment slots per week. The service is now entering
another stage of transition because we are investigating

Brain tumours: Can we differentiate the types
based on imaging?
The management of patients with brain tumours is strongly
influenced by a number of factors including the age and
performance status of the patient at presentation and, of
course, the tumour type.
Important aspects of patient management precede biopsy
and not all patients undergo surgery. It is therefore important
that the radiologist guides the rest of the clinical team with
regards to the most likely tumour type in each case.
Imaging, particularly MRI, is complimentary to
histopathology in determining the tumour type and grade.
There are a number of imaging and clinical features that
helps the radiologist distinguish different tumour types and
that is the focus of this lecture.

SP019: Electro-diagnosis in WWI
Francis Duck
University of Bath
The range of traumatic injuries sustained by soldiers during
the 1914-18 war established a renewed interest in the use
of electrodiagnosis. Electrical stimulation to assist in the
diagnosis of a variety of neurological and neuro-muscular
disease states had become established during the last
decades of the nineteenth century, promoted by pioneers
such as Duchenne de Boulogne, Wilhelm Erb and Armand
de Watteville. In contrast to X-ray imaging, which was of
great value for the location of shrapnel and bullets, and to
establish to nature of bone injury from explosive impact,
electro-diagnosis had the potential to provide surgeons with
information on the cause and severity of traumatic injury to
nerves and tendons. Specific applications were set out in
1917 by Zimmern and Perol in Électrodiagnostic de Guerre,
translated into English by Elvin Cumberbatch of the Electrical
Department, St Bartholomew’s Hospital. War-time use was
distinguished from that in peace in that one deals with the
injury of nerves, and the other in their disease. The key to
success lay in a repeated tests over a period of weeks to
distinguish damage capable of repair from permanent nerve
destruction. Much emphasis was placed on the “galvanopsychic reaction”, a means to distinguish true from feigned
injury. Indeed, given there was little that could be achieved
surgically, the main use of these fairly sophisticated tests
seems to have been to identify those soldiers who were
deemed suitable to be sent back to the trenches.

the creation and interpretation of visual art forms, dating

SP024: A pictorial review of the common
variants and pitfalls in cranial ultrasonography
in neonates

Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust
Introduction: Cranial ultrasounds are performed on preterm
infants to provide information about perinatal brain injury
for long term prognosis. Recent advances in cranial
ultrasonography have led to improved visualization of both
normal anatomy and intracranial disease. There is a wide
spectrum that includes many anatomic variants, and many
of these variants can closely mimic disease.
Aims and Objectives: To briefly look at some of the common
anatomic variants seen on cranial ultrasonography, address
the disease with which they are often confused, and aid in
recognition between them.
Material and Methods: We will focus on the review of
imaging-based cases from our institution. We will highlight
some common anatomic variants, including Cavum
septi pellucidi, cavum vergae and cavum of the velum
interpositum, benign macrocrania, germinolytic cysts,
persistent foetal fluid-filled spaces, coarctation of the
lateral ventricles, frontal horn cysts, mega cisterna magna,
and periventricular halo. We will also demonstrate some
common pitfalls including vein of Galen malformations,
posterior fossa malformations, white matter lesions and
pathologic cysts. Emphasis will be placed on how to
differentiate between normal anatomic variants and real
pathology. Conclusion: Cranial sonography is the most
widely used neuroimaging procedure in premature infants.
It is crucial in preventing diagnostic pitfalls, as variants
are often mistaken for disease. The potential benefits and
harmful consequences of misinterpreting cranial ultrasound
examinations should be communicated to the parents
beforehand as they may need close, systematic followup after their discharge from NICUs to facilitate the timely
initiation of interventions.

Content: For each pathology the presentation will cover;
eitology, symptoms, causes, and x-ray findings. This
information will then help radiographers to decide when
x-rays are appropriate, and what projections are required
depending on the child’s symptoms. This is especially
important as paediatric patients are more radio-sensitive,
therefore justification for the x-ray request and use of other
modalities needs to be carefully considered. The poster

Method: A retrospective evaluation of neonatal chest
radiography quality and dose was undertaken across 2
geographically distant hospital Trusts in England. Using all
neonatal chest radiography examinations undertaken during
2012 as the sampling frame, a random sample of 100
AP supine chest examinations was identified at each site.
Examinations were excluded where boundaries of original
primary collimation could not be confirmed and age of child
exceeded 30 days. Image acquisition quality was determined
through evaluation of patient position; inspiration; rotation
and tilt; collimation; presence of side markers and exposure
factors. Assessment of dose was calculated manually for both
the actual and ideal field size to determine dose differential.

Background: Neonatal chest radiography is unique in
terms of vulnerability of patient group to radiation exposure
and distinctive anatomical appearances. While European
standards for neonatal chest radiography dose and
radiologic quality assessment criteria exist, these are not
readily transferable to radiographic image acquisition
practice. Published literature has focussed on collimation
and dose rather than consider the impact of radiographic
technical quality and prevalence of suboptimal image
acquisition approaches. Supported by an ISRRT research

SP028: The radiology department’s role in
domestic abuse
Ruth McAuley; Debby Wilson
Liverpool Community Health; Salford Survivors Project
Aim/Objectives: Due to recent high profile deaths
from domestic abuse/violence eg Linzi Ashton, Clare
Wood(Clare’s Law-Now to be implemented nationally )
to highlight NHS Trusts accountability in domestic abuse
cases. Trusts may be involved in Serious Case reviews and
possible litigation.
Content: The presentation will describe the importance of
domestic abuse training for all staff. How checking imaging
history can help in dealing with suspected domestic
abuse. What to look for when imaging the patient and
common areas of injury. How to ask the patient if abuse
exits, new innovative services, important facts and advice
for patients. What is MARAC, how to complete MeRIT
forms and formal Trust procedures and support for staff
after receiving a disclosure.
Relevance/Impact: Two lives are lost each week due to
domestic violence. Highlight the link between domestic
abuse and child abuse and neglect. Recent research shows
one in 6 fractures are linked to domestic violence. Radiology
departments can assist in suspected domestic violence
cases by having a pro-active approach.
Outcome: Increase awareness of domestic abuse,
encouraging Directors/Heads of departments to set
Domestic abuse policies at their trusts and ensure staff
attends training sessions.
Discussion: Due to Trusts potentially being involved in
Serious Case Review and accountability high on the health
agenda this presentation in summary highlights not only our
professional responsibility but ethically our duty of care in
domestic violence/abuse.

The service users enjoyed the experience. Issues for
consideration include travel to the venue and the physical
demands on the service user. Concerns highlighted by
previous authors of preparation and remuneration had been
addressed prior to the exercise (Repper and Breeze 2007).
There is increasing diversity in the ways in which service
users are involved in education (Towle et al 2010). Service
user involvement as patients in a simulation exercise for
assessing students has proved successful.

SP031: Proposal for a study of the reliability
of the rapid reporting section of FRCR 2B
Andrew Thurston; Liam McKnight; Steve Capey;
Jo Fairhurst
Swansea University College of Medicine
Aims/Objectives: To assess the reliability of the rapid
reporting used in the FRCR 2B examination.
Content: Four sets of rapid reporting with around 50
candidates per set will be analysed and the reliability for
each will be calculated. Recommendations to that could
improve the reliability of future examinations will be made.
Relevance/Impact: The GMC requests that all postgraduate
medical examinations have both reliability and validity. No
previous work has been undertaken on the written elements
of the rapid reporting sections of the FRCR part 2 B. It is
important to check the reliability of the written exams to
satisfy the regulator.
Outcomes: A reliability coefficient such as Cronbach alpha
will be calculated as well as some other measures of
reliability such as SEM.

Cognitive apprenticeship encourages the movement
towards independent learning, which is required of an
undergraduate via six teaching methods; modelling,
coaching, scaffolding, articulation, reflection and exploration
(Bates, Dolce and Waynor 2012).
WORKSHOPS
Feedback was obtained via email and face to face from
academic staff, service users and students using open questions.
The benefits of service user involvement are that it gave the
exercise a more realistic feel and is an excellent exercise in terms
of developing patient care, communication and positioning skills.
Cognitive apprenticeship is a strategy that will transfer training
from the class room setting to practice (Bates, Dolce and
Waynor 2012). In a similar way to traditional apprenticeships,
students are exposed to authentic practices, and socially
interact in the workplace (Brown, Collins and Duguid 1989).
However, it goes beyond the mastery of physical skills,
to include cognitive skills more usually associated with
academia (Brown, Collins and Duguid 1989).
SATELLITE
SYMPOSIA
In recent years the importance of involving service users in
all aspects of health care has been promoted (Repper and
Breeze 2007); this includes being involved in the education
of health care workers (Lathlean et al 2006). The evaluation
of service user involvement in the education of health care
workers in limited (Repper and Breeze 2007), as is any
literature about service user involvement outside nursing,
mental health and social work (Towle et al 2010).
The gradual change towards a more outcome driven,
didactic style of education eroded the apprenticeship style
of training. This led to the well-publicised theory, practice
gap (Kramer 1974). This gap can be reduced via situated
learning (Lave and Wenger 1991). One way of maintaining
academic rigour whilst facilitating quality clinical education is
via the model of cognitive apprenticeship.

The aim of the presentation is to introduce Cognitive
Apprenticeship as a model for clinical education. Before
the move to Higher Education, the education of health
care workers closely followed an apprenticeship model.
Apprenticeship is a traditional training method involving experts
showing an apprentice how to perform a task. Most of the
training is undertaken in a social context, while the learner is at

Discussion: If the data shows good reliability then this will be
declared. If one or more of the sets has limited reliability then the
RCR will be advised as soon as the analysis is performed so
remedial action can be undertaken well before any publication is
submitted. If the method chosen proves successful, subsequent
sets of rapid reporting cases can be analysed. Subsequent
sittings will reuse the sets and better data will be obtained. Poorly
performing cases may be deleted at the examiners discretion.
We will also study the reliability of the normal and abnormal
cases separately to see if the balance of cases is still appropriate.

SP033: Trainee Tracker - a novel, semiautomated IT aid for training providers
Derfel Ap Dafydd; Dominic Blunt; Ruth Williamson;
Philip Blunt
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust
Introduction: Trainee Tracker was created by Consultant
Radiologists at Imperial NHS Trust, and is intended for ease of
monitoring trainee progress through their specialty curriculum.
Description: Monitoring trainee progression can be
challenging for trainers. This is most true of radiology
trainees, since the FRCR alone comprises 9 separate exams,
for which deaneries set target time-scales for completion.
Most challenging is monitoring the progress of part-time trainees,
ACFs or any trainee who is not full-time clinical, for whom these
standard target dates require adjustment. Trainers and trainees
have the e-portfolio with which to document milestones, but it
has no facility for recalculating these due-dates.
The Trainee Tracker was designed with the aim of
automated real time “tracking” of each trainee through their
specialty curriculum. The system will automatically generate
customised ‘due dates’ for each ‘milestone’ in the trainee’s
‘training plan’, allowing for their particular work-pattern. If
the trainee exceeds a ‘due date’, Trainee Tracker generates
an ‘alert’, which the educational supervisor and/ or trainee
may receive by e-mail.
Conclusion: We have successfully piloted the Trainee
Tracker IT system to the Imperial Radiology Training scheme
where it eases the in-house trainee appraisal process.
Ultimately it is potentially applicable to all specialties, and
even other professions. Potentially it will help to highlight
particular needs or strengths of trainees at an earlier
stage of their training, and adaptation of their training
plan accordingly. Presently, the only measurable review of
training scheme review is the GMC trainee survey. As well as
enabling standardisation of trainee appraisal, Trainee Tracker
potentially offers an objective, measurable means of external
review of training schemes.

Perspectives on promoting professionalism: Why it matters
more now than ever before in healthcare. Anna van der
Gaag, Chair, Health and Care Professions Council, UK.
The most recent British Social Attitudes Survey suggests
that patient satisfaction with accident and emergency
services is at a six year low. Across professional health
regulation, complaints are at an all time high. Many of these
complaints are about behavour, ethics and professional
conduct. Why is this trend occurring and what can we do
to address poor practise before it leads to a complaint?
Research on perceptions of professionalism suggests
that ‘professionalism’ is seen not so much as a discrete
competency but a situational judgement, a set of behaviours
influenced by context, rather than a fixed characteristic.
These behaviours are strongly influenced by the particular
care group and peer group, as well as the knowledge and
skills of an individual. Are there new ways to stimulate
further debate about the centrality of ethics and conduct?
For example, is it more acceptable to discuss issues of
competence than conduct with peers? How easy or difficult
is it for health professionals to challenge each other about
how they talk to patients? The paper will discuss why we
need more, not less talk about professionalism and values
in the 21st century.

Quantitative fluoroscopy versus flexion
extension radiographs of the lumbar spine
INFORMATION
Flexion-extension (functional) lumbar radiography is 110
years old, but is still used today in the diagnosis of spinal
instability. However, functional radiographs have low
measurement accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. This is
mainly due to differences in imaging techniques, variability
of motion, large measurement errors, and the limitations of
static imaging for a dynamic problem.

Quantitative fluoroscopy (QF) addresses a number of these
problems by combining automated image processing
algorithms with fluoroscopic sequences to measure
controlled continuous inter-vertebral motion. This method
has shown large differences between weight-bearing and
recumbent motion and illustrates features previously thought
to be indicative of instability that are present in healthy
people. I will demonstrate these differences and also present
results from my PhD, which used QF to compare passive
continuous motion in people with and without low back pain.
The results suggest that there are features in patients that
are otherwise not detectable with medical imaging.

The interpretation of post treatment imaging in head and
neck cancer patients is often challenging, particularly as it
can be difficult to differentiate malignancy from iatrogenic
change. Recurrent or residual malignancy is frequently
clinically occult; therefore the radiologist has an important
role to detect and delineate neoplastic disease to enable
salvage therapy to be considered. The surgical management
of head and neck cancer involves primary resection, lymph
node dissection and reconstructive surgery and these
procedures are often extensive, resulting in an altered
anatomical landscape for the radiologist to interpret. A
variety of findings can be anticipated following radiotherapy,
although recent technological advances are altering the
distribution of dose delivered and hence the pattern of
post therapy changes. In this session, the key therapeutic
modalities and the spectrum of expected findings following
surgical and radiation therapy will be discussed.

The aim of this presentation is to highlight the spectrum
of thoracic trauma witnessed by deployed radiologists
in Afghanistan. The presentation will focus on battlefield
injuries relating to ballistic trauma and blast injury which are
seen less commonly in UK practice than blunt injury. I will
also cover the modus operandi of the deployed radiologist
as an integrated member of the trauma team in a facility
geared to deal with major trauma.

Fibroid embolization: Indications and technique
This talk will discuss the prevalence and clinical presentation
of uterine fibroids and the place of fibroid embolisation in
the treatment of this common disease. Case selection,
contraindications, workup and complications will be covered
as well as a description of the technique itself. The evidence
for and against fibroid embolization will be described and I
will discuss where embolisation fits in the range of available
fibroid treatments in the context of guidance from NICE.

Aim: My talk will illustrate the importance of the
Interventional Radiologist and when to contact them. All
major trauma centres should have access to Interventional
Radiology (IR) 24 hours a day. Patients requiring acute
intervention for haemorrhage control should be in an IR suite
with 60 minutes of arrival in hospital. (Regional Networks
for Major Trauma 2010). Acute Thoracic Aortic Injury (ATAI)
and bleeding from other intra-thoracic vessels can be
safely treated by the Interventional Radiologist within 30-60
minutes; procedures can be performed under local or spinal
anaesthetic without the need for an invasive thoracotomy.

exclusively there is no Interventional Radiologist. Chest
Trauma is the primary cause of death in 25% of all trauma
deaths. Death is due to hypoxia or hypovolaemia.

INFORMATION
Combined open surgery and interventional radiology in
complex peripheral vascular disease: indications and
technique (What do you do with a hybrid theatre). With
an ageing population and maturation of IR techniques,
there has been a continual drift from open surgery to
endovascular treatment for most peripheral vascular
disease. Blurring the boundaries between surgical and
endovascular treatments allows minimally invasive treatment
for a greater range of patients. This talk will cover patient
selection, techniques, outcomes and pitfalls.

a cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted to
radiography students. This explored aspects of stress and
coping using qualitative and quantitative questions. Data was
analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.

Outcomes: A 40% response rate (n=42) was received. The
themes extracted from the data were; environment and
organisational culture, practice, and teaching. Students
reported that intimidation by staff or instructors as the top
stressor (30%), which was echoed in the qualitative aspect.
In addition, lack of supervision and assumed responsibility
were also perceived as stressors. However, being given
responsibility and being “hands-on” were perceived as positive
experiences. Relationships with mentors and role models in
the department were important in fostering confidence, and
‘approachability’; and ‘being helpful’ were perceived as a
more important attribute than being ‘knowledgeable’.
Discussion: This study highlighted the importance of positive
role models and relationships in the clinical environment,
and the need to address the endemic culture of intimidation
of students. Further longitudinal research is required on the
long term and cumulative nature of stress in newly qualified
radiographers.

University of Cumbria
Aims/Objectives: Incidence of spontaneous subarachnoid
haemorrhage (SAH) in the UK is approximately 7.5–12.6 per
100 000. Patients presenting with suspected SAH and who
have a negative CT scan should have a lumbar puncture to
exclude the diagnosis. The aim was to dtermine whether
this gold standard was being achieved in clinical practice.
Content: This is a retrospective study of 45 patients
scanned with a clinical suspicion of SAH. All CT imaging
was reviewed along with Lumbar puncture results. Exact
timings of investigations are presented with overview of the
referral data and patient demographics.
Relevance/Impact: The study is important as it looks at
standards for patient care, which can have potentially
serious consequences for the patient.
Outcomes: 33% of patients with suspected SAH had
lumbar punctures. 67% of patients did not have a lumbar
puncture and there is a serious clinical risk of missing
patients with SAH.
Discussion: All the relevant and important data from this
study will be presented. It is important to engage with the
clinician and involve them in discussion with the results
of this study. Suggestions for improving care and raising
performance to reach the gold standard will be discussed.

Very little research has been done previously on the impact
of susceptibility artefacts produced by transdermal piercing
anchor bases. This study clearly shows that artefacts
can extend a considerable distance from the anchor
and that further study is required to produce clear and
comprehensive guidelines on the consequences of scanning
these implants in MRI.

Outcomes: Quantitative MRI sequences evaluated included
magnetisation transfer imaging, diffusion tensor imaging
and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. All the studies
demonstrated that these quantitative MRI sequences
provide information about damage occurring in MS that is
not visible on conventional MRI.
WEDNESDAY
SESSIONS
The stainless steel and the titanium anchor bases both
produced artefacts with all scan sequences. Artefacts
extended up to 3 cm away from the anchor bases. The size of
the artefact varied with the type of scan sequence and stainless
steel tended to produce a larger artefact than titanium.
WORKSHOPS
Transdermal piercing (a form of aesthetic body modification)
has become increasing popular. The piercings are attached to
anchor bases implanted under the skin and cannot be easily
removed. Metal anchor bases are at risk of producing magnetic
susceptibility artefacts in MRI that degrade image quality.
Relevance/Impact: Up to 70% of MS sufferers develop some
form of cognitive impairment; however this aspect of the disease
is often overlooked by clinicians. Quantitative MRI sequences
may overcome the clinico-radiological paradox in MS, as grey
matter and normal-appearing white matter damage correlate
better with disability than the lesions visible on conventional MRI.
The routine use of quantitative MRI in clinical practice can offer
patients better diagnosis of the full extent of their condition.

Agar phantoms containing anchor bases made from
titanium, stainless steel, and biocompatible polymer were
scanned using a 1.5 T scanner (Philips Gyroscan Intera).
A range of scan sequences was chosen to encompass
sequences known to minimise and maximise artefacts (turbo
spin echo and gradient echo) together with sequences used
clinically (including diffusion weighted imaging). Artefact size
was analyzed using Image J software (National Institutes of
Health, USA).
Content: A system literature review was undertaken in
order to identify primary studies that use quantitative MRI
for imaging pathology in MS. A search of Ebscohost, Ovid
Online and Science Direct was conducted to find citations
deemed relevant to the research question. A modified
Critical Skills Appraisal Programme (CASP) tool was used

Results: 7/41 cases had PAD and only one case missed
in antenatal diagnosis. Risk factors analysis showed that
Odds ratio of H/O caesarean section (P=0.59), placenta
praevia (P= 0.72), is high though not statistically significant
for invasion. Blood loss was significantly higher in invaded
compared to non-invaded cases (p<0.001). Women with an
invasive placenta had significantly more blood transfused
(p<0.001). Median days in hospital was significantly longer in
invaded group compared to that of non invaded (p<0.001).
MRI was better than ultrasound having both higher sensitivity
(86% vs 43%) and specificity (81% vs 79%). The most useful
sign was heterogeneity being both highly sensitive (86%) and
specific (91%) for placenta invasion. Median blood loss was
higher in women with multiple bands (3000 l) compared to
those with single bands (600 l).

Conclusion: Antenatal diagnosis although aided in surgery
planning, favourable pregnancy outcome has not been
achieved yet. MRI proved to have better diagnostic sensitivity
than that of US and it was successful in defining depth of
invasion in the majority of cases indicating its importance in
recruitment of the specific expertise required. Multiple dark
bands seem to be a useful predictor of blood loss in PAD.

way computer systems in healthcare share information. It
holds testing events, called “Connectathons” annually in
Asia, Europe and North America. During a Connectathon,
systems exchange information with complementary systems
from multiple vendors, under the supervision of independent
monitors, who record the results which are subsequently
published. The European connectathon has been held
annually for 15 years, and now has about 100 participating
companies at each event, including this year’s in Vienna.
The emphasis at a connectathon is on cooperation, and
improvement of real-life interoperability. This talk will

Acceptance testing of image fidelity
It can be considered that image fidelity is the faithful
production of an image, probity is any post processing that
may deviate from the ‘honest’ preservation of the image and
integrity brings both together when presenting the image. In
digital imaging all these elements are now separate.
Although component QA is essential to optimise the image
chain, it is proposed that Point of Use Quality assurance
(POUQA) is required for digital imaging. POUQA involves
embedding a QA element into every image at acquisition
that is responsive to the same factors affecting the fidelity,
probity and integrity of the image and allows any impact
to be readily identified and quantified. This is particularly
important with images orphan from the acquiring institution.
This presentation will include examples of how each process
can clinically compromise an image and present a POUQA
tool that may help address this issue.

PACS and RIS procurement–Options available
With up to 80 per cent of existing Picture Archiving and
Communication System (PACS) and Radiology Information
Systems (RIS) contracts currently moving from national
contracts to local contracts, NHS organisations need to
start planning now for how they will manage this significant
change at a time when both NHS and supplier capacity
and capability in this specialist area will be stretched. The
majority of these current PACS and RIS contracts were let
under the National Programme for IT and it could be argued
the Trusts had little say in the contract, choice of supplier
or what was delivered. This time round it will be entirely the
Trust’s choice but they will need to take the lead themselves.
Some of the key issues covered include:
• What options do I have?
• What do I need to consider?
• What should I be aware of?
• What lessons have been learnt?

Modern radiological imaging could be viewed as the process
of capturing image pixels and voxels, modifying their values
to correct for imperfections in the recording device and to
enhance the image appearance, transferring them around
a network for easy access, using a display device and
temporary modifications to their values to look at them,
then storing them. Every pixel has been paid for with a tiny
amount of radiation dose to the patient, but are they all used
for the benefit of that patient? Do some spring into existence
in the imaging modality and make it all the way to long-term

Radiographer-led MCUG lists: Personal experience
This presentation will discuss the value of a radiographer-led
paediatric micturating cystourethrogram (MCUG) service and
its positive impact on patients and the imaging department.
Practice was reviewed over a 12-month period focusing
on several aspects of the service including referral criteria.
Issues addressed will include efficiency of service provided,
quality and continuity of patient care, and accuracy of
official reports. The beneficial impact of role extension for
radiographers taking on extra responsibility whilst being
professionally accountable will also be addressed. Overall
the radiographer-led service has had a positive impact on
practice. However, it is imperative to have an adequate
training programme, robust protocols and support from
colleagues (including radiologists and clinicians) in order
to achieve this. Attendees will leave the presentation with
knowledge of some barriers to and tips for implementing a
successful radiographer-led MCUG service.

(4) This aspect discusses how it is not the radiographers’
role to restrain patients for the purpose of a NAI skeletal
survey. The radiographers’ role is to obtain high quality
radiographs for the purpose of answering the clinical
question posed by the clinicians, whilst at the same time
ensuring communication with all parties involved at all times
as to what is going to happen. There are various definitions
of ‘restraint’, ‘immobilisation’ and ‘safe holding’ from several
sources that will be discussed. Documentation is essential
as part of the skeletal survey process to ensure that correct
processes have been followed. Professional knowledge
needs to be kept up to date with current practice and
radiographers need to be aware of their responsibilities to
ensure the best outcome for patients, their families and
also the professional teams involved bearing in mind that
individual professionals are more commonly becoming
independently accountable for their actions.

(2) The radiographer’s role in suspected NAI cases is to
provide high quality images with the least possible dose.
The role also extends to holding along with the help of other
health professionals, if necessary. Many a times, this enables
us to get the image right the first time. While holding, the
radiographer is also actively trying to make the experience
as positive as possible for the child by communicating
creatively and using distraction techniques. There is an
associated risk of injury associated with holding, however
it is worth noting that other conditions like Osteogenesis
Imperfecta, Osteopenia, too have a high susceptibility to
fracture.

Team working within radiology to improve
patient care –The radiologist’s view
All radiology departments have been subject to large increases
in demand across most modalities over the last 10 years. Even
where investment in new Consultant Radiologist posts has
been made by trusts the workload still exceeds the consultant
available resource. We have utilised effective team-working
(radiographers, ultrasonographers and radiographic assistants)
to enable the department to fulfil increases in demand while
continuing to produce clinically useful reports in a timely manner
across the various imaging modalities. It has also enabled
career development for radiographers wishing to advance
their skills thereby assisting us in maintaining a motivated
highly skilled stable workforce. By optimising the various staff
member’s skills consultants have been able to concentrate
on more complex imaging and the numerous multidisciplinary
discussions that occur throughout the working week.
Improving patient care should be the primary focus of all
healthcare providers. Team working and appropriate use
of skill mix has been highlighted as a way of managing
ever increasing imaging workloads. The aim of this study
was to demonstrate how a radiology department within an
acute district general hospital optimizes imaging services
to improve access for patients and support for referrers
through a strong emphasis on team-working.
Data about service delivery was analyzed across three
consecutive years and interrogated by modality, referral
source and reporting practitioner to determine how workload
had evolved. Feedback from referring clinicians was sought.
Overall trend was for increased activity (13%) with significant
reductions (p<0.001) in waiting and reporting times, with
some modality variation. Radiographers interpreted >50%
of X-ray and ultrasound examinations. Radiologists and
radiographers, working together, can deliver an effective
service. Innovation, staff development and redesigned
patient pathways have produced significant improvements.

Given the imminent reduction of the eye threshold dose level
from 150mSv to 20mSv per year, an audit was undertaken
at UHSM to compare doses recorded at eye level with those
recorded at collar level. The Objective of this audit was to
“ascertain whether dosemeters worn at collar level will lead to
greater compliance in wearing them, thereby producing results
which can be extrapolated accurately and consistently to give
a realistic measurement of eye dose received by cardiologists
working in cardiac catheter labs”. Additional measurements
were also obtained by Christie Medical Physics and Engineering

Compliance can be an issue due to Cardiologists reluctance

Experimental measurements relating collar
and eye dose –
In view of the forthcoming reduction in the eye dose limit,
it was necessary to determine whether collar dosemeters
accurately estimate eye doses. Previous phantom
experiments had been carried out to determine the
relationship between TLDs worn on the collar and head
to true eye dose. TLDs on the collar, side and centre of
the head underestimated true eye dose. The TLDs on
the side of the head closest to scatter provided the most
accurate estimate. Following this, interventional radiologists
at Addenbrooke’s Hospital were issued collar and eye
dosemeters for a period of 20 months. The results showed
inter- and intra- operator variability in the relationship
between collar and eye dose confirming that a collar to eye
dose conversion factor cannot reliably be used. Therefore,
staff requiring eye monitoring must wear a dedicated eye
dosemeter on the side of the head closest to scatter.

Effectiveness of commercial eye protection 1
Effectiveness of commercial eye protection: With favourable
geometry, reduction in eye dose by lead spectacles and
goggles can be as high as 80-90% in cardiology and
interventional radiology. However shine paths and scatter
within the head may reduce the protection afforded. Wrap
round designs are more effective at a variety of angles. Face
masks containing around 0.1mmPb protect the whole head
and may give adequate protection in certain circumstances.
Ceiling mounted protective screens can reduce eye dose by
98% and can be worn with spectacles. Other bespoke options
can give much improved protection in certain situations.

spectacles (ProtecX 2600, ProtecX 2611, ProtecX 2616,
ProtecX 2622) and a lead-glass visor (Bartec). The effect of
head angle and the clinician height was also investigated.
The results indicate that the spectacles with the best front/
side protection (i.e. 0.75mmPb ProtecX 2616) provided the
highest dose reductions for clinicians of different stature
and for all head angles. The visor, due to its shape and
low filtration (i.e. 0.25mmPb), provided the lowest dose
reductions under all test conditions.

Necrotising otitis externa
Necrotising otitis externa (NOE) is a severe inflammatory
condition originating in the external auditory canal (EAC),
usually associated with pseudomonas aeruginosa. Over
90% occurs in elderly diabetics.
The defining feature is development of osteomyelitis of the
bony EAC.
Infection extends out of the EAC through the fissures
of Santorini (vertical fissures in the anterior wall of the
cartilaginous EAC) and/or the osseocartilagenous junction
into the parapharyngeal space.Subsequent extension
into adjacent deep spaces is associated with central
skull base osteomyelitis and lower cranial nerve palsies.
CT demonstration of the presence and extent of bone
destruction are the key imaging features. The most
important use of MRI is assessment of intracranial extension
if suspected. Gallium scanning (particularly SPECT-CT) may
confirm the condition if CT is equivocal but is probably most
useful in the follow up of this disease which is notoriously
difficult to eradicate.

diagnostic challenge. Moreover, tumour-like lesions show diverse
aetiologies and locations. All radiologists need to be aware of the
possibility of non-neoplastic diagnoses of bone and their potential
imaging findings. A range of classical and more challenging
cases will be used to illustrate a broad range of tumour mimics
and highlight strategies to approaching such lesions.

The peritoneal cavity is a complex anatomical structure
with multiple attachments and connections. Primary
abnormalities of the peritoneum are rare but the peritoneal
cavity is often involved by common pathologies such as
bowel perforation, infections, malignancy and trauma.This
lecture will review embryological development and anatomy
of the peritoneum, its attachments and mesenteries. Normal
anatomy and pathology will be described and illustrated with

Imaging of the acute abdomen in the

Acute gastrointestinal complaints are common among
patients with cancer. They may be due to the disease
process itself, the consequence of its treatment, or
due synchronous benign pathologies. Associated
immunocompromise is common and can be confounding,
reducing the perceived severity of illness yet increasing
the rate of deterioration. In this session we discuss a
structured approach to imaging the acute abdomen in the
oncology patient, including those with immunocompromise.
Particular attention is paid to entities that are rare in other
patient groups, including radiation enteritis, graft versus host
disease and chemotoxicity.

Patients present with emergency conditions at any time of
the day or night. The challenge for us is to ensure that those
presenting at night receive a standard of care which is as
close as possible to that which they would receive during
the day. Radiology – diagnostic and interventional – is at
the front line of emergency care. Increasing specialisation of
clinicians as well as the expectations of patients and society
has led to increasing demand for specialised imaging and
image interpretation at night. I will argue that it is no longer
possible for a single radiologist to provide a satisfactory
comprehensive emergency service. Solutions will be
based on networked models allowing large groupings of
radiologists to provide comprehensive services to multiple
hospitals. Such solutions can provide an enhanced level of
service to patients, a sustainable lifestyle for radiologists and
a better experience for trainees.

Understanding the limitations of teleradiology.
Preserving daytime radiology delivered by
local hospital radiologists
Teleradiology limitations mainly result from lack of the
teleradiologists’ physical presence in the local hospital, but
may also arise from a paucity of relevant clinical and past
imaging data available. We believe preserving daytime radiology,
delivered by local radiologists acting as clinical doctors
integrated in the patients’ healthcare, is essential. “In-house”
radiologists add value in many ways: advising on the most
appropriate imaging investigations, interacting with medical and
surgical clinical colleagues, consulting over cases in the light of
clinical findings, developing trusting clinical working relationships,
and interpreting the imaging during multidisciplinary meetings
whilst simultaneously keeping abreast of clinical practice.

Hybrid PET/CT & SPECT/CT imaging has markedly
improved the reporter confidence and diagnostic accuracy
in Nuclear Oncology. Planar scintigraphy is sensitive but
lacks morphological details and specificity and often requires
further radiology correlations. CT augmented scintigraphy
provides functional, anatomical and morphological
information in the same session and potentially shortens
time to treatment. SPECT/CT compliments nuclear
medicine and radiology diagnosis and staging of bone and
soft tissue malignancies including isotope bone scans for
skeletal metastases, radioiodine thyroid cancer imaging,
and somatostatin receptor imaging and MIBG imaging
in neuroendocrine tumours. SPECT/CT can also help in
treatment planning such as liver-to-lung shunt study prior
to SIRT (selective internal radiation therapy) and TARE
(transarterial radioembolisation) of liver malignancies, and
sentinel node localisation. Structural information from
SPECT/CT can also alert clinicians on potential critical

Educational and regulatory implications
Events that took place between 2005 and 2009 at the Mid
Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust resulted in a shocking
failure of the duty of care owed to many patients, captured
within the first independent Francis Report. In June 2010
the Government asked Robert Francis QC to undertake a
public inquiry into the role that commissioning, supervisory
and regulatory bodies played in monitoring the work of this
Trust, and this final report was published in February 2013.
The recommendations for care, regulation and education
could not be ignored, and as a consequence a number
of professional and regulatory bodies and healthcare
organisations issued prompt responses to the Francis
report. This presentation will identify any key themes for
education and practice emerging from these professional
organisations and from education commissioners, and will
explore the potential impact upon imaging services and
higher education.

Situational awareness is a key concept as vital to safety in
aviation as it is in healthcare.
The efficiency of X-ray angiography systems in terms of
resulting image quality per invested dose load is mainly
dependent on its hardware components, the X-ray tube
and the detector. Efficiency can be substantially raised,
whenever focal spot size is small and well defined by flat
emitter technology and a high pulse power allows optimal
spectral beam shaping with the help of flexible tube voltage
and beam filtration. On the receptor side efficiency is driven
by a high absorption rate as well as low electronic noise
from the sensors, which can be achieved by introduction

eRequesting into GP practices has taken longer and
required more effort and resource than originally envisaged,
the Trust is beginning to see benefits for both themselves
as host and for the GP practices themselves. This is also
increasingly evident as eRequesting has also been deployed

a more comprehensive paperless environment as well as
better information availability and easier sharing.

Fetal MRI, technical considerations and
clinical use
Fetal MRI has been performed since the 1980s but only
began to show more promise and application in the 1990s,
when faster imaging sequences became readily available.
These fast sequences provide superior soft tissue contrast
and greatly improve the imaging of a ‘moving target’.The
majority of sequences used in a fetal MRI examination
are routinely used in many examination types but there
are still a number of factors which make the examination
challenging. It requires patience, flexibility and experience,
as well as a united, team approach from referrer, technician
and radiologist.This talk will be split into four sections, giving
a comprehensive overview of fetal MRI. First we will look
at the patient preparation and considerations needed for
this group of patients. We will then overview the sequences
The presentation will outline the role of the Practice Educator,
the logistics of implementing an MRI education and training
programme in the clinical setting. It will also outline the
developing opportunities that are being identified for this role.
Relevance: The growing demand for MRI examinations
has increased the pressure on Radiology departments to
expand MRI scanning capacity; the implications of this
increased demand are the need for more MRI trained
Radiographers. The role of MRI Practice Educator is to
assist in the process of training new Radiographers into the
modality and to develop a comprehensive and standardised
training programme.
Outcomes/Discussion: The aim of this new role is to develop
and deliver a comprehensive accredited MRI induction
training programme for new MRI recruits. In addition, the
MRI Practice Educator will facilitate the clinical, professional
and educational development of all MRI Radiographers
working in the clinical departments of this large NHS Trust.
This dedicated resource will standardise MRI training and
help bridge the gap between theoretical and practical
knowledge. It is also intended to develop a culture of
learning and clinical expertise based on a foundation of
MRI theoretical knowledge and evidence based practice. A
potential benefit from the role will be improved recruitment

PROGRAMME
The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust
Aims: To assess nasogastric (NG) tube placement and
reporting following the implementation of NPSA guidelines.
INFORMATION
Content: A 6 month review of 1137consecutive chest X-rays
that demonstrate an NG tube in situ. The study examined
malplacement rates, radiology reporting accuracy and timeliness.
Visibility of the NG tube and adequacy of visualization was
assessed. Analysis of demographics demonstrated populations
where gastrointestinal (GI) malplacement was a higher risk.
VICE PRESIDENTS
& WORKING PARTY
Relevance / Impact: NPSA guidelines identify standards
expected from radiology departments in terms of image
acquisition and reporting.
MONDAY
SESSIONS
Outcomes: Respiratory placement was 1.6%, in line with
other literature. NG tubes were fully visualized in almost 90%
of cases. Exposure and reversal of image polarity had little
impact on visibility of NG tubes, however the use of window
level and width tools fully demonstrated a further 5.6% of
NG tubes. Report accuracy was 98.4% with all variation
being due to interpretational rather than observational errors.

WORKSHOPS
Discussion: The study has demonstrated a malplacement
rate in line with published literature. However, age and
patient location are demonstrated as risk factors that
contribute to placement within the GI tract. Visibility of the
NG tube can be improved by dynamic alteration of the
window level and width tools, although reversal of image
polarity is of limited use. Exposure factors appear to have
little impact on tube visibility, but further research is in
progress using a chest phantom.

INDEX
Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Liverpool; Salford
University, Manchester;
This study aims to assess inter- and intra-observer variability
amongst radiologists in identifying the cavo-atrial junction
(CAJ) on chest radiographs (CXR). The presentation will
include the full methodology of the study, a brief description
of statistical analysis and discussion of the results. Chest
radiographs are the most frequently used technique to identify
central venous catheter position and there is continuous
debate regarding where the catheter tip should lie. The
reporting radiologist needs to identify the CAJ to be able to
determine the position of the line tip. Line tip misplacements
can be associated with life threatening complications.
23 radiologists (13 consultants, 10 SpRs) assessed 25
digital CXR (8 duplicates) and marked the positions of
the CAJ. Differences in CAJ position both between and
within observers were assessed and corrected for image
magnification. The 95% limits of agreement for inter-observer
variability were -3.5 to 4.6 giving a range of 8.1cm. The 95%
limits of agreement for intra-observer variability were -2.1 to
3.0 giving a range of 5.1cm. When comparing the assessment
of CAJ position for consultants and SpRs, there was no
significant difference for intra-observer variability (P=0.139)
but there was a significant difference in inter-observer
variability (P=0.001) when comparing positions between
grades. This study detected a large inter-observer variability
in the assessment of CAJ position exceeding 8cm. This is a
significant finding considering that the length of the SVC is
reported to be approximately 7cm in the existing literature.
We conclude that there is poor consensus regarding CAJ
identification amongst radiologists.

Aims: To detect patients with IVC (Inferior Venacava) filters
who suffer a clinically apparent PE (Pulmonary Embolism
post-insertion. Secondly, to study attempted removal of
retrievable IVC filters and retrieval success rates.
Content: Retrospective electronic data collection of IVC
filter procedures performed August 2001 to August 2012 at
our institute with a minimum of 6 months follow up for PE
investigation post-insertion.
Relevance: IVC filter insertion is an accepted method for
reducing incidence of PE in specific clinical situations. The
insertion and retrieval success is variable which depends
upon patient and technical factors. The British Society of
Interventional Radiologists (BSIR) registry report published
in 2011 estimated incidence of PE to be 2.7% after filter
insertion. Retrieval was attempted in 77.8% of filters
intended for temporary placement with 64% overall success.

Outcomes: Percutaneous RFA was performed for 47
SRMs in 45 patients [mean age 72 years(range 58-86)].
Mean tumor size was 2.8 cms (range 1.6-5cms) and
mean pre-operative creatinine 98mmol/L (range 63-174).
Overall complication rate was 17%(8 cases) with major
complications encountered in 6.3% (3 cases), including 2
infected collections and 1 ureteric stricture. Three procedures
were abandoned (Technical difficulty-2; Intraoperative
bradycardia-1). Thus 44 SRMs were available for followup.
Complete treatment response was noted in 77% cases
(34/44) after 1st treatment, with remaining 23% (10) needing
more than 1 RFA treatments. Two patients dropped out from
followup. At a mean maximum followup of 24 months (range
1-48), 92.6 % SRMs were completely recurrence free. None
of the patients had distant metastasis or cancer specific
mortality. Mean post-operative creatinine was 116 mmol/L
(range 61-315)
Discussions:Our results prove that RFA achieves effective
oncological control with minimal morbidity and we have
successfully set up a safe service comparable to other
series in literature.

F-FDG PET has a well-established role in cancer imaging,
providing high sensitivity and accuracy. An important
limitation, however, is its relatively poor specificity. Many
biomarkers of individual cancers exist which provide highly
specific potential targets for radiolabelled PET ligands.
This talk will review the current status of and the potential
applications of non-FDG PET tracers in oncology, including
18F-Fluoride in skeletal imaging, F-Choline and F-FACBC
PET in the clinical and research applications of prostate

Sue Chua is a Multimodality Imaging
Consultant with dual accreditation in
radiology and nuclear medicine. Her
research interests are principally in
multimodality functional imaging, in particular PET/CT and
functional CT and MRI imaging, which have an increasingly
important role in detecting changes in tumours at the cellular
and molecular level, in order to offer improved outcome
prediction and treatment efficacy assessment in cancer
management. Her clinical and research areas of interest
include urology, paediatric oncology, lymphomas, upper
and lower GIT, lung and neuro-oncology. She is actively
involved in many prospective trials, in both single and multicentre settings, locally, nationally and internationally. She
is a member of the EORTC PET imaging and lung groups
and also the NCRI Brain (Clinical Trials Unit) CSG Imaging
Subgroup. Locally, at The Royal Marsden and The Institute
of Cancer Research, she is PET/CT trial advisor for the
Phase 1 Drug Development Unit. She established the 18F
Choline PET/CT service at The Royal Marsden, the first
centre in the UK to offer 18F Choline PET for brain tumour
evaluation, and the second centre to use this tracer in the
setting of prostate cancer. She has trained staff from several
PET centres in the country in 18F Choline PET to enable
them to establish their own service.
MRI is the cornerstone of musculo-skeletal imaging, whilst CT
has a vital role in the setting of trauma; the combination of these
modalities alongside ultrasound, are by and large adequate for
most clinical scenarios. As experience however accumulates, it is
becoming more apparent that Tc99m HDP Bone SPECT-CT has
a key role to play in refining diagnosis, trouble shooting difficult
cases and also contribute in identifying targets towards directing
therapy to underlying bone and joint-based pain generators. The
HDP bone metabolic-signal is not new, as a blunt instrument
it has been available for decades in the form of a conventional
planar bone scan. However, in its new avatar with tomographic
3-plane information (SPECT) combined with high resolution
CT, the precision afforded by combining the two modalities is
incremental. Current applications include assessment of pain
generators for back pain and evaluating undiagnosed pain
from sports and other injuries and non-traumatic insults in the
appendicular skeleton, that may be characterized in a limited
fashion or remain occult on conventional imaging. Imaging the
axial and peripheral skeleton following surgical intervention poses
some challenges to conventional imaging due to inherent technical
limitations imposed by metalwork. The use of Tc99m HDP Bone
SPECT/CT in this context is under investigation, and growing
experience suggests it may be a powerful tool, especially in the
post-operative spine. The lecture presents my experience with
the modality in the context of native and post-operative spinal
and appendicular imaging, collaborating with specialist spinal and
orthopaedic units to explore the value-added potential of the test.

Patients need to understand what is good for their health and
the same applies to society at large. But society has become
increasingly frightened by “radiation” and anything “nuclear”,
and this affects patients too. But do radiologists themselves
understand that at low and moderate dose rates radiation is
harmless and sometimes beneficial? In the lecture we look
at the evidence for this unexpected and counter-intuitive
conclusion. Many questions follow. Why is it true? Why are
current radiological protection regulations quite out of line
with present-day knowledge of radiobiology? What should
be done to put matters right? In what ways is this important
to patients and to society as a whole? Firm answers to most
questions will be given in the lecture but the broad conclusion
is that radiological safety needs to be rebased on scientific
understanding and education instead of blind caution.

Since the governance of Research Ethics Committees was
taken over in 2011 by the Health Research Authority (HRA)
there have been substantial changes to the number of
Committees and their ways of working. It seems to those
who encounter these Committees that their role is easy
to understand but in practice seems rather cumbersome.
The aim of this presentation is to explain the need for such
committees, how they work and why timescales which
seem unduly long to researchers are in fact quite onerous
on committee members who are not remunerated in any
way for their work. The presentation will also endeavour to
explain how researchers can make their own experience
with committees smoother and possibly even enjoyable.

Improved technology and sequences allow high quality imaging
of the Biliary Tree and Pancreas with significant reduction
in artefact. However, motion and breathing artefact can still
result in suboptimal images in some patients. 3T magnets give
improved resolution images but are prone to greater artefacts.
The long TE T2W sequences are the standard for MRCP,
but the addition of in/out of phase T1W and fast-saturated
T2W sequences provide useful extra information. Intraductal
stones are often of high signal on T1W sequences which
can increase their detection rate, particularly the intrahepatic
ones which may be difficult to see on T2W sequences. The
normal pancreas has high signal on T1W sequences and most
pathology (tumour, inflammation or fibrosis) is of low signal and
better seen in the pancreas on these sequences compared to
T2W sequences. Dynamic contrast enhancement is useful in
evaluating the pancreas and bile duct wall. Secretin stimulated
MRCP gives useful functional and structural information on
pancreatic secretion and duct morphology.

The aim of this session is to present new guidance and
technologies which are being introduced in to modern everyday
ultrasound practice and the impact this will have on service
delivery. The use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound should be
inherent in all imaging departments. The presentations in this
session will explore the benefits for your patients in developing
this service. In addition elastography is widely replacing liver
biopsy procedures in specialist centres. The final presentation
explores the benefits of this new technique that can be
employed in any centre dealing with chronic liver disease.
Contrast enhanced ultrasound – Its role in the
characterisation of incidental liver lesions
CEUS is an established and evidence based technique
for characterising liver lesions. We will review the NICE
recommendations and discuss some of the issues in
delivering a CEUS service with reference to patient experience.

Assessment Guidance looking at the role

The role of contrast enhanced-ultrasound in
the paediatric patient
The role of contrast enhanced ultrasound in paediatric
imaging is expanding. Initially its use was limited to voiding
ultrasonography as an alternative to fluoroscopy. More
recently we have used this modality in the characterisation
of newly detected liver lesions in children with chronic liver
disease and suspected malignancy. CEUS is now routinely
used in our centre in the work up of focal liver lesions
presenting de novo in children.
CT remains the gold standard for imaging of trauma in
children. With the use of CEUS the radiation burden of
repeat CT to this vulnerable group of patients is dramatically
reduced. CEUS can also be used in the imaging of children
with testicular injuries to assist surgical planning.

Elastography in liver disease and the decline of
the liver biopsy
Accurate assessment of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic
liver disease is necessary to determine prognosis, monitor
disease progression and formulate treatment decisions.
Currently, histological staging of liver biopsy is the most
widely used reference standard for this purpose. Liver biopsy,
however, has recognised risks, as well as sampling and
observer error. These limitations have stimulated the search
for new non-invasive approaches. Numerous methodologies,
including serum markers, magnetic resonance elastography
and ultrasound elastography, have evolved in the last
decade to predict fibrosis in those with chronic liver disease.
Ultrasound elastography methods assess liver fibrosis by
determining liver stiffness and translate this into a quantifiable
measurement for analysis. As these tests are non-invasive,
without side-effect or discomfort, it is possible to conduct
repeat examinations at much closer intervals than biopsy. The
three most investigated ultrasound elastography methods are
transient elastography, realtime elastography and acoustic
radiation force impulse. Although significant strides have been

Skeletal metastases are associated with significant morbidity
and have high impact on health costs. It is accepted that current
imaging techniques are inadequate for measuring treatment
response in a clinically relevant time frame such that skeletal
metastases are usually considered as non-measurable disease

PET/CT in infection
PET-CT has become an essential practical tool with
extraordinary sensitivity in detecting disease activity and
non-activity in malignant and benign disorders. Having
established itself as a powerful tool in the management of
oncology patients there are now reports of FDG PET-CT
imaging emerging as an important tool in the management
of patients with suspected and/or documented infection.
The exquisite combination of sensitive PET and the addition
of CT for both anatomical localisation and co-diagnosis
has propelled this technique to the fore front of infection
imaging. This technique appears to be particularly useful in
the evaluation of skeletal infections, fever of unknown origin,
graft infection and acquired immunodeficiency states. Similar
to what has been observed with malignant disorders, FDGPET holds great promise in monitoring response to therapy
in benign disorders, including infections and inflammatory
processes. There is emerging evidence that PET-CT is now
used not only in detecting infection but also in assessing
disease extent and the evaluation of treatment response. The
talk discusses the molecular basis of FDG PET in infection/
inflammation, look at the evidence supporting its use,
analyse the pros and cons of this techniques and compare
its use with the existing techniques. Some of the newer PET
tracers currently being evaluated will be highlighted.

Diffuse lung disease, as an incidental finding, is seen with
increasing frequency as thoracic CT is more widely used in
modern high resolution scanners. It is important that general
radiologists have an understanding of diffuse lung disease and
are able to recognise characteristic patterns of abnormality.
TUESDAY
SESSIONS
This workshop provides lectures and cases for review on
individual workstations.
WEDNESDAY
SESSIONS
The lectures will show how to interpret lung HRCT and
demonstrate the various patterns of abnormality seen in
diffuse lung disease. Cases on individual workstations give
the opportunity to practice lung HRCT interpretation with the
guidance of the tutors. The aim of the session is to increase
confidence in diagnosis when reporting.

Fusion of real time ultrasound and extremity CT allows
simultaneous examination of bones, joints, tendons,
ligaments and neovascularity. These fusion images provide
new and exciting diagnostic opportunities whilst permitting
an excellent method of needle guidance for treatment.
INFORMATION
Zimam Romman
Consultant Radiologist, Imperial College Healthcare NHS
Trust
Ultrasound technology to visualise the microvasculature
continues to improve where power and colour Doppler
ultrasound remains a quick and non-invasive method of
assessing the vascularity of tumours and tissue. The advanced
Doppler algorithm of Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI)
developed by Toshiba Medical Systems, allows imaging of the
microvasculature without the need for contrast enhancement.
The sensitivity and finer detail of the microvessels which can
be visualised is significantly better when compared with Power
Doppler, and rivals that depicted with contrast enhancement.
The clinical applications of this novel Doppler technique will
be discussed and illustrated where it may prove revolutionary
particularly with respect to musculoskeletal imaging. Finally
the feasibility of using microbubbles to detect sentinel lymph
nodes will also be outlined and discussed especially where the
utility of SMI may also be helpful.

INFORMATION
The importance of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) is
not widely recognised despite causing over 100s of fatalities
Worldwide. NSF is a rare and only recently described
disease, occurring in patients with a history of renal disease
who are exposed to gadolinium based (MRI) contrast
media, and is characterised by skin induration preferentially
affecting the extremities. In addition, involvement of internal
organs occurs, which leads ultimately to death. Learning
outcomes will include understanding: Definition, Symptoms,
Diagnosis & potential Prevention of NSF as well as the role
of transmetallation & GBCA in NSF.

Brain MRI volumetric analysis – enhancing
decision-making in the diagnosis of dementia
PRESENTER
INDEX
Clinically, structural imaging is often used after the
initial assessment of a patient presenting with cognitive
impairment, to exclude a space-occupying lesion or to
demonstrate vascular pathology as a cause for their
symptoms. Measurement of hippocampal volume from
structural MRI scans is a well-established biomarker
correlating with disease stage in Alzheimer’s disease.
Applying a volumetric analysis to MRI images can therefore
enhance clinical decision making. In partnership with IXICO,

A holistic approach to radiation safety
Each year approximately 3.6 billion x-ray examinations are
performed worldwide leading to earlier and more accurate diagnosis
of medical diseases. However, considerable concern has been
voiced regarding the stochastic and even deterministic impact on
both patients and medical staff. Authorised bodies have therefore
emphasised the importance of ensuring the proper performance
of x-ray equipment and of keeping the dose to medical staff and
patients as low as reasonably achievable. This suggests that a
holistic approach is required to ensure overall radiation safety.
