Applications for employer licences under IR(ME)R require employers to specify the level of MPE support available and if this is provided by on-site MPEs or remotely. Assessment of these applications by the Administration of Radioactive Substances Advisory Committee (ARSAC) has highlighted variability in the levels of MPE support being provided for similar services across the UK. A working party including representatives from IPEM, ARSAC, BIR and BNMS was formed and has produced these recommendations on MPE support. Nuclear medicine services were divided into seven broad categories and MPE support for each category has been considered. However, some services that differ from the scenarios provided in this guidance may require different levels of MPE support. PET/CT and γ camera imaging have been considered separately here, although it is recognised that both PET/CT and γ cameras are often sited within the same department in many centres. The separation has been done for pragmatic purposes, as there are felt to be sufficient differences in the MPE role requirements. This guidance sets out recommendations for MPE support, and broader physics support, to run a safe nuclear medicine service and defines the responsibilities of these staff for a range of clinical nuclear medicine services. The recommendations on MPE support made are advice, but will assist employers in meeting regulatory requirements.","PeriodicalId":226783,"journal":{"name":"The British journal of radiology","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121498289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluation of PAD is based on clinical examination, calculation of ankle-brachial index and imaging studies such as ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). These modalities provide significant information about location, extension and severity of macrovasular lesions in lower extremity arterial system. However, they can be also used to evaluate limb perfusion, using appropriate techniques and protocols. This information may be valuable for assessment of the severity of ischemia and detection of hypoperfused areas. Moreover, they can be used for planning of revascularization strategy in patients with severe PAD and evaluation of therapeutic outcome. These techniques may also determine prognosis and amputation risk in patients with PAD.

An alternative approach is functional imaging, previously shown to aid characterization of cancer tissues.

First, contrast enhanced ultrasound imaging on one wild type mouse recorded lymphatic drainage of magnetic microbubbles after bolus injection. Second, tissue phantoms were imaged using MMUS to illustrate the force- and elasticity dependence of the magneto-motion.

Trauma and resultant fractures affecting lacrimal drainage apparatus is not part of this review; only non-traumatic diseases will be discussed.

Three patients had adrenal lesions on both sides. We constructed 6 DCNN models from 6 types of input images for comparison: non-contrast images only (Model A), delayed Phase images only (Model B), three phasic images merged into a 3-channel (Model C), relative-washout-rate (RWR) image maps only (Model D), non-contrast and RWR maps merged into a 2-channel (Model E), and delayed phase and RWR maps merged into a 2-channel (Model F).

The optimal threshold values for binary classification were determined from the receiver-operating characteristic curve analyses. We adopted the nested cross-validation method, in which the outer 5-fold cross-validation was used to assess the diagnostic performance of the models and the inner 5-fold cross-validation was used to tune hyperparameters of the models.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000The AUCs with 95% confidence intervals of Models A-F were 0.94 [0.90, 0.98], 0.80 [0.69, 0.89], 0.97 [0.94, 1.00], 0.92 [0.85, 0.97], 0.99 [0.97, 1.00] and 0.94 [0.86, 0.99], respectively. Model E showed high AUC greater than 0.95.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000DCNN models may be a useful tool for the diagnosis of AA using CT.\u0000\u0000\u0000ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE\u0000The current study demonstrates a deep learning-based approach could differentiate adrenal adenoma from non-adenoma using multiphasic CT.","PeriodicalId":226783,"journal":{"name":"The British journal of radiology","volume":"38 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128518587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
