Surgeons, nurses & radiographers... Have you ever been in theatre, wondering how much radiation dose you were getting? Our latest publication displays radiation 'heatmaps' for some common ortho surgeries. The open-access paper is here: https://t.co/jccTcbnZik @SpringerNature

Can ChatGPT evaluate the image quality of an x-ray? We are honoured to have our latest publication in JEEPH. It is open access and can be read here, for anyone interested: https://t.co/X1FMRmsWZN

Are you a healthcare professional/student excited (or confused) about AI? You may share similar thoughts to others! Our recent paper exploring perceptions and attitudes toward AI has been published open access in @HSR_journal. @lucywoodres https://t.co/JRjNyXuYf0

Resilience is described as the “ability to grow stronger from failure, and remain positive in times of adversity”. Our recent research around student resilience has been published in @DisabilityRehab. Thank you A/Prof Gisela Van Kessel and @shayne_chau!

Clinicians hold a range of attitudes towards ‘AI’: some positive, others not so much!… but what do our future clinicians think about AI, and its impact on their careers?
Thank you @JMIRS1 for the opportunity to publish this research.

@shayne_chau @nataliepollar16 Thanks Shayne 🙏

4 years, 16 exams, 40 clinical weeks, 60 competency assessments...

Congratulations to the graduating 2023 @UniversitySA cohort of radiographers, radiation therapists and nuclear medicine technologists!

@trimorphchris @AcademicLdm @franniegray @YobelliJ @_antms @AbelKarera @ClareRaineyUU @NicholasBarlow1 @JLPortelli @hannahkearsley @SimonKingUWE @markmcentee @philipcosson We’re looking forward to doing some IPL using mobile radiography with our nursing program. Hopefully both groups will get lots out of it!

@lucywoodres @jmrsjournal @ASMIRTorg @nzimrt A great review on proton therapy, well done @lucywoodres and @UniversitySA team!!

Honoured to have a commentary published in @JMIRS1 about how teaching in med rad can keep up with continual change. ‘The world (of radiography) has changed, and we must change with it’!

Teaching CT can be challenging (especially without a CT scanner)! Our research into cloud-based CT simulation software is now open access in Simulation & Gaming Journal. https://t.co/omMjObZ4Ki @shayne_chau @Sage_Publishing @SiemensHealth

[Elio Arruzza @EArruzza]

@Paleoimaging @JMIRS1 Thanks James!.. the next stage of our research is looking at how we can best educate staff, particularly those without a radiology background

[Elio Arruzza @EArruzza]

X-rays in the recovery department sometimes send people running! Proud to announce our new paper, which displays radiation dose diagrams for mobile hip and knee x-rays, has been published in @JMIRS1! https://t.co/t5QcX5dtx6

[Elio Arruzza @EArruzza]

@danthepacsman @eramanda @LouiseNBurton @JMIRS1 This is the case in many Australian sites Dan. It is interesting to hear UK perspectives!

[Elio Arruzza @EArruzza]

@LouiseNBurton @eramanda @JMIRS1 PSA - Patient Services Assistant. Maybe just an Australian term?!

[Elio Arruzza @EArruzza]

@eleanorhurlock @JMIRS1 Thanks for your thoughts Eleanor - it is certainly a controversial topic! Each site will have their own practice/culture. Regardless of whether it is justified, dose can be minimised with a sound awareness of radiation principles - hopefully we’ve been able to spread this here!

[Elio Arruzza @EArruzza]

@eramanda @LouiseNBurton @JMIRS1 Ah I see! It does depend on the site - sometimes they are brought to the dept, however this takes time and a PSA/orderly. Would be great to hear the thoughts of surgeons, to know if a greater time delay to imaging impacts patient management.

[Elio Arruzza @EArruzza]

@LouiseNBurton @JMIRS1 After surgery, early post-op x-rays are used to verify prosthetics are positioned correctly and/or to see if fractures have been suitably reduced.

[Elio Arruzza @EArruzza]

@TheoAkudjedu @JMIRS1 Appreciate that Theo!

[Elio Arruzza @EArruzza]

@xray_rupert @SpringerNature This particular test is a typical AP. The white ‘x-ray’ icon is the mobile unit base. The tube/detector are lying over the patients hip. Hope that helps
