Next session up at #ASMIRT2023, with a focus here on evidence based practice and research while @AlisonSBarrett will be tweeting re the stream on building a resilient & responsive workforce Image
On why #ASMIRT2023 is talking about the need to build an evidence base, @CMalamateniou told Croakey: "Radiography is a relatively new profession, so it still builds its evidence base. ...It leans equally on technology & person-centred care. So these are the two areas of (focus)."
"Research is the basis for creating new solutions to new problems; in healthcare, research is about helping others: our patients and their carers and families...." @CMalamateniou #ASMIRT2023
. @CMalamateniou shared this 2009 piece as background on the growing focus on research in radiography #ASMIRT2023 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Thanks @kimbomeek for this pick up in @AmandaBoldersto presentation on Qualitative research: Interpreting quality re @johnhewis work

When she clicked the microphone, you could hear background chatter and banter...

Loved this from @AmandaBoldersto in interview with Croakey re her work as EIC @JMIRS1

“That’s my soapbox: listening to people’s stories and using their words and qualitative research to reach hearts and minds.”

. @AmandaBoldersto says quality criteria for qualitative research are an important but
debated topic. "As in quantitative work, broad concepts of validity & relevance can be used but the concepts & processes vary according to the different underpinning goals..." #ASMIRT2023
. @AmandaBoldersto talks re how to design and carry out trustworthy qualitative research using an eight-point framework developed by @SarahJTracy: a worthy topic, rich rigour, sincerity, credibility, resonance, significant contribution, ethics and meaningful coherence #ASMIRT2023 Image

Prof Geoff Delaney from Liverpool Hospital is presenting at #ASMIRT2023 on: Bridging the gap between haphazard care and evidence-based care in cancer
Delaney says deviation from evidence-based care can occur for many valid reasons, eg where co-morbidities
preclude planned therapy or patients decline advice about evidence-based care after being adequately informed by their clinicians. Also done without valid reason #ASMIRT2023
Although an evidence-based model suggests 48% of Australians should receive radiotherapy at least once, only 28% currently do so - factors behind that include lower socioeconomic status and geographic distance from a treatment facility - Delaney #ASMIRT2023
This has led to initiatives to improve access to radiotherapy including reducing waiting times, reducing fractionation schedules and funding of smaller radiotherapy facilities in rural centres to reduce travel time - Delaney #ASMIRT2023
However, using retrospective data to reduce variations in care based on individual clinician decision-making has been largely unsuccessful due to slowness of the analytical process - Delaney #ASMIRT2023
Delaney is proposing a near-real time decision support
system as a possible contribution to improving the link between evidence-based care and patient decision making. #ASMIRT2023

Further to the thread on AI at #ASMIRT featuring the work of @DrGeoffCurrie (and MTC)

. @DrGeoffCurrie is chair of the nuclear medicine program at #ASMIRT2023 - it features a number of his posters, incl with his son @CurrieHugo and daughter Josie. He tells @CroakeyNews his kids "have grown up in nuclear medicine"......

A thread now to catch up on discussions around artificial intelligence (AI) - a hot topic everywhere, including at #ASMIRT2023.

See some of the issues raised in our 'future of medical radiation sciences' Q&A piece
croakey.org/what-does-the-… #ASMIRT2023
Interestingly, @theage @smh have run a piece this weekend by @angusthomson_: 'A new breed of AI is changing healthcare. But it comes with a warning '

($ paywall) #ASMIRT2023
theage.com.au/national/a-new…
It quotes an Aust study of safety events involving AI-assisted tech (reported to @US_FDA) by @AIHI_MQ led by @EnricoCoiera @David_Lyell @YingWang_CHI @FarahMagrabi who warn "we just need to be taking the safety of these systems really seriously"

Gary Denham is a radiographer at @HNEHealth, with a number of presentations for #ASMIRT2023, incl (related to Edel Doyle previously): Beyond the skeletal survey: how modern neuroimaging is revealing the effects of childhood maltreatment
Denham says it's well established that childhood maltreatment/abuse is detrimental to mental health & a major risk factor for most psychiatric disorders. Can also lead to a range of behavioural problems & alter the structure/function of the developing brain #ASMIRT2023
Child maltreatment/abuse is also associated with impairments to IQ, academic achievement, working memory, emotional regulation and inhibitory control - Denham #ASMIRT2023

We're set to follow the final day of #ASMIRT2023 - national gathering of the medical radiation sciences: been a big agenda of clinical/workplace issues, also diversity/inclusion, AI, patient-centred care Image
Today's opening #ASMIRT2023 session will focus on forensic radiography, workplace wellness/burnout, clinical issues, education and gaps in care. Image
We are not attending #ASMIRT2023, but @AlisonSBarrett and I (@mariemcinerney) are tweeting via abstracts/posters/presentations/interviews, with thanks to many speakers who have shared their work with us

Interesting session coming up now #ASMIRT2023: Champions of Change, to be closed with a panel discussion on patient centred care Image
And just as interesting in the other plenary on application of AI (artificial intelligence), which will also end in a panel discussion - ft @DrKEHawk @DrEMRohren, Phillip Chlap, moderated by @DrGeoffCurrie #ASMIRT2023 Image
Just noting, @AlisonSBarrett and I (@mariemcinerney) are covering #ASMIRT2023 remotely: tweeting from presentations, interviews etc, not live in the room. We are v grateful for the generosity of speakers who have shared their work with us.

Catching up re earlier #ASMIRT2023 session from @CMalamateniou on: Artificial Intelligence is changing
radiography: What should we do? (Pic: ASMIRT) Image
"AI is just another tool we need to use effectively & responsibly to solve real clinical problems; radiographers are frontrunners in this race, together with all other profs working in medical imaging, radiotherapy & nuclear medicine." @CMalamateniou told Croakey #ASMIRT2023
"AI is only as clever & equitable as the data we feed it with; because of the way it works, it has massive scalability & the potential to revolutionise medicine and radiography; it can also create massive problems if we fail to use it right." @CMalamateniou #ASMIRT2023
