To encourage more medical students to consider Radiology as a career, increased exposure at undergraduate level has been advocated. The aim of this study was to evaluate if formal Radiology teaching hours at medical school had any association with the number of qualified Radiologists joining the General Medical Council Specialist Register. Methods: Total number of doctors joining the GMC Specialist Register as Clinical Radiologists, and those with a primary medical qualifications awarded in Scotland, was obtained from the GMC (2010–2020). Graduate numbers from all four Scottish Medical Schools (2000–2011) were also obtained. Hours of Radiology teaching for medical schools in Scotland were obtained from validated AToMS study. Results: Two hundred and twenty three (6.6%) of 3347 Radiologists added to the GMC Specialist Register between 2010 and 2020 received their primary medical qualification (PMQ) from Scottish Universities. The number of Radiologists from Scottish Universities joining the GMC specialist register was 2.6% of the total number of Scottish Medical Graduates. There was no association between the number of hours (Range 1–30) Radiology was taught to medical students and the number that joined the specialist register as Radiologists (p = 0.54 chi square trend). Conclusion: Increased exposure to Radiology teaching does not influence medical students’ decision to take up Radiology as a career. While continued Radiology exposure remains important, other strategies are required in both the short and long term to ensure radiology services are maintained without detriment to patients. Advances in knowledge: Increased hours of Radiology teaching in medical school was not associated with increased radiologists joining the profession.","PeriodicalId":72419,"journal":{"name":"BJR open","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75275125","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}

Due to limited MRI availability, <72 h post-surgery MRI is commonly used instead. Whilst previous investigations assessed volumetric differences between post-surgical and pre-RT delineations, dosimetric impact remains unknown. We quantify volumetric and dosimetric impact of using post-surgical MRI for GBM target delineation. Methods: Gross tumour volumes (GTVs) for five GBM patients receiving chemo-RT with post-surgical and pre-RT MRIs were delineated by three independent observers. Planning target volumes (PTVs) and RT plans were generated for each GTV. Volumetric and dosimetric differences were assessed through: absolute volumes, volume-distance histograms and dose-volume histogram statistics. Results: Post-surgical MRI delineations had significantly (p < 0.05) larger GTV and PTV volumes (median 16.7 and 64.4 cm3, respectively). Post-surgical RT plans, applied to pre-RT delineations, had significantly decreased (p < 0.01) median PTV doses (ΔD99% = −8.1 Gy and ΔD95% = −2.0 Gy). Median organ-at-risk (OAR) dose increases (brainstem ΔD5% =+0.8, normal brain mean dose =+2.9 and normal brain ΔD10% = 5.3 Gy) were observed. Conclusion: Post-surgical MRI delineation significantly impacted RT planning, with larger normal-appearing tissue volumes irradiated and increased OAR doses, despite a reduced coverage of the pre-RT defined target. Advances in knowledge: We believe this is the first investigation assessing the dosimetric impact of using post-surgical MRI for GBM target delineation. It highlights the potential of significantly degraded RT plans, showing the clinical need for dedicated MRI for GBM RT.","PeriodicalId":72419,"journal":{"name":"BJR open","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83278157","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}
