Project Updates
Multi-centre service evaluation of ultrasound (US) surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the United Kingdom.
HCC US surveillance aims to detect early HCC in high-risk patients using 6 monthly ultrasound and AFP testing in the UK however, there is a lack of UK-based studies characterising HCC surveillance adherence rates, cancer detection rate by surveillance, and barriers to surveillance.
Rolling out this summer, our project aims to assess patient experience and barriers to HCC US surveillance. RADIANT members will have to opportunity to get involved in a large-scale, unique project with support of the RADIANT team. Updates will be announced at the AGM, then by newsletter/social media.
Barriers and avenues to accessing research opportunities for LTFT trainees
Building on our previous work highlighting issues around gaining research experience in Radiology training, RADIANT is conducting focused research on barriers to research faced by LTFT trainees.
We will be releasing a questionnaire for LTFT trainees to fill in, so please share this widely with LTFT trainees in your deaneries.
Raising awareness of Radiology amongst patients
In September we will be launching a multi-centre project focusing on understanding and changing patients' understanding of Radiology. This will be a large scale study and we are excited to launch this towards the end of the summer.
