Introduction Professionalism describes the positive attitudes, conduct, aims, values, skills, and behaviours that characterize a profession or a group of professionals. The steady professional growth of radiographers, which begins during undergraduate training, continues to be significantly influenced by education.

Interprofessional skills are strongly linked to interprofessional teamworking and are defined by the Interprofessional Education Collaborative as “the levels of cooperation, coordination and collaboration characterizing the relationships between professions in delivering patient-centered care” [ [19] Interprofessional Education Collaborative Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice: 2016 Update. Interprofessional Education Collaborative, Washington, DC ].

Earlier in my career, I spent much of my time as a nuclear medicine technologist educator and practitioner. One of the cases that stayed with me involved a woman with breast cancer who was referred to our department for a bone scan for a routine follow-up. Before performing the 99mTCMDP bone scan, the patient was asked to evacuate her bladder. This instruction is a routine process to ensure that there is no radioactivity from the bladder that may overlap with the pelvic bone.

Abstract Purpose There has been little research providing an in-depth exploration of the reasons behind research participants, particularly in mental health settings, requesting copies of their research data, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.

The Radiology Department at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) provides a comprehensive diagnostic service to children and young people. Those who access the service often have complex conditions, many of which are life threatening. It is highly likely that a traumatic event will occur in this environment.

Engagement in radiation therapy research: What happens after graduation?

Background To prepare undergraduate radiation therapy (RT) students for the professional role of Scholarly Practitioner the University of Alberta's Radiation Therapy Program (RADTH) provides research education, and students conduct novel research studies during their final practicum year with the final result being a publishable paper.

Justification is a process conducted by the radiographer in consultation with the radiologist to evaluate radiological procedures ordered by doctors. The main purpose for justifying all radiologic procedures is to assess the benefits and risks of a requested radiographic procedure and determine whether exposure will continue. Furthermore, justification helps to prevent unnecessary radiation exposure and reduce the chances of harmful effects of ionizing radiation.
