Abstract: Background: Breast cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. Early detection through regular screening, particularly mammography, significantly improves prognosis and survival rates. However, the effectiveness of screening programs is closely linked to women’s more...
Abstract: Background: Breast compression is an essential component of mammography, as it improves image quality and reduces radiation dose. However, excessive compression may cause discomfort or pain, potentially affecting patient compliance with breast cancer screening programs.
Aim: To evaluate the relat more...
Abstract: Background: Diagnostic imaging procedures such as X-ray, CT, and fluoroscopy contribute significantly to population radiation exposure. Radiographers play a critical role in ensuring radiation safety by applying the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle during imaging procedures.

Abstract: Background: Accurate patient positioning is fundamental to achieving diagnostic-quality radiographic images. Positioning errors can compromise image interpretation, increase repeat examinations, and lead to unnecessary radiation exposure. Despite established positioning guidelines, errors continue t more...
Abstract: Radiology departments across the world are experiencing unprecedented operational pressure due to rapidly increasing imaging volumes, growing clinical complexity, and a persistent shortage of trained radiologists. These challenges have resulted in prolonged reporting turnaround times, workflow ineff more...
