AsiaSafe's first webinar in the DRL series on 27th Jan 2024
Prof Kalpana Kanal speaks on CT Dose Metrics and Diagnostic Reference Levels. Find out why CT Dose Metrics is important and how one can implement it, even in lower resource departments during the discussion/Q & A.
A rather "light hearted" look at how projectiles can be brought by accident into the MRI scanning suite.
Always remember
1. The Magnet is always on
2. Screen, Screen, Screen for ferromagnetic materials.
Today, clothes may also have ferromagnetic threads...so it's both staff and patients.

Thank you Assoc Prof Samuel Brady, MS PhD, DABR for an excellent talk on how to establish DRLs and use a dose monitoring software to help this process, failing which a manual system is also do-able. The clear step by step information made it look "almost" simple.
Points highlighted include:
1. starting with 20 centres
2. scaling up eventually to 30-50% of facilities in a country
3. ensure all kinds of facilities are included.
4. QC for the various equipment before collecting data (Learning from the Senegal experience) so that good quality data are collected, otherwise, the doses will not be accurately reflected.
5. A consensus to establish standardized protocol names are needed so that national data can be aggregated.
6. Once DRLs are established, they need periodic updating.
7. Such cyclic data driven improvement results in significant dose reduction as demonstrated in the UK.

Have you registered for the AOCR2024, Taipei 22-25Mar, 2024? AOCR2024.org
If so, please consider the AOSR-AOCR Value Based Radiology session on Mar 22, 8.45am. How to lead the way in becoming a visible radiologist?
The morning will begin with a 90-minute session open to everyone who is a registered AOCR2024 delegate. The talks will be:
1. Why every radiologist must be a leader (Dr. Lexa) 30 min
2. Negotiations: it's more than just money (Dr. McGinty) 30 min
3. Speaking up and leading change without being seen as a troublemaker (Drs. Lexa and McGinty) 30 min
Subsequently, those who registered for the AOSR-AOCR immersive small groups 1-hour workshop on “DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS” will assemble in designated rooms. Pre-registration for the small groups workshop is needed for logistic reasons.

AOSR MR Safety Ambassador Dr Elaine Kan (Chief of Service, Dept of Radiology) and her team at the Hong Kong Children's Hospital, Dr Carol Ng (Cardiac Imaging Lead) with trainees Dr Yoyo Chiu and Dr Vicka Tang have created this video - MR Imaging in Children: Tips & Tricks for reducing the need for sedation.The AOSR (and AsiaSafe) thanks and appreciates this effort from our AOSR members in promoting safe/safer imaging in children.
Check it out and share with your colleagues:

An abbreviated version of the write up up by Dr Elaine Kan
Imaging babies and young children can be challenging, particularly for lengthy MR exams. Various strategies can help children avoid sedation while reducing anxiety to ensure quality imaging.
1. Child friendly environment – Make the radiology experience fun
2. Effective communication – Building trust
Clear communication between radiographers, radiologists, parent/carer, and the child is essential.
3. Accompaniment and support – Familiar faces help
Allowing parents or soft toys to accompany the child during imaging provides comfort and reduce anxiety.
4. Sleep and feed – Keeping babies happy
The “Feed-and-Sleep” is a program for selected babies aged 0-6 months. Exams are booked at a time that coincide with babies’ sleep schedules.
5. Entertainment – A good movie helps
MRI compatible video goggle allows children to watch videos with a MR safe video player during the scan. Not only is this is a useful distraction tool, a good movie enhances patient compliance and experience.
6. Child-life specialist – Get help from the experts
Child-life specialists are trained to provide education and support, in addition their clever distraction techniques help the child stay calm and cooperative during the scan. B
7. Tailoring the scans
Tailoring scan protocols prior to the scan streamlines the exam and reduces table time.
a. Consider a plain scan, some clinical indications may not require a contrast exam
b. Shorten the scan time: Limit the number of sequences and utilise fast and single-shot sequences

Plenary from ECR2024 on
Advancing Radiology in times of dwindling resources and increasing demands.
In this fascinating plenary lecture Annemiek Snoeckx explores how to deal with a changing profession where radiologists are witnessing higher demands and fewer resources to work with.
Invest in your other roles, not just churning out reports - because that will be how you will remain relevant.
Focussing on technology is not enough. Focus on People as well.
