- Analysis of dose and Acute Radio-Toxicity in breast cancer patients [ECR 2022 Book of Abstracts]Publication . Carmo, A.; Ramos, M.; Serra, F.; Abrantes, António; Rodrigues, S.; Ribeiro, L. P.; Vicente, B.; Almeida, R. P. P.Over the last 20 years, there have been significant technological and technical advances in radiotherapy for breast cancer. However acute radiationinduced skin toxicity remains a side effect impacting the quality of life in breast cancer patients. The aim of this study was to verify if there is a relationship between the dose-surface that reaches the skin and the location of acute radio toxicity.
- Analysis of radiological examination request forms in a radiology departmentPublication . Gonçalves, S. R.; Caldeira Lagem Abrantes, António Fernando; Ribeiro, Luís Pedro; do Espírito Santo Rodrigues, Sónia Isabel; Pinheiro, João; Magalhães Ribeiro, Anabela de; Almeida, R. P. P.Clinical information in the Radiology department is an important tool to perform correct imaging studies, and adjust the exam to the anatomical region and clinical suspicion. Due to limited time and high workflow in diagnostic departments, immobilization devices, and communication barriers with patients, it may be difficult to identify the region under study, adjust the study to the patient's condition, and perform the scan properly. Thus, the emergency room physicians and other medical referrals should provide as much information as possible so the radiographers, radiologists, and sonographers can perform the requested exam and clarify any clinical suspicion. Proper communication with clinicians before an examination is essential to provide patient-centered healthcare. The present study aimed to evaluate the existence or absence of clinical information in the examination requests forms in a radiology department.
- Anatomical regions and Body Mass Index: A Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) problemPublication . Romão, C.; Caldeira Lagem Abrantes, António Fernando; Ribeiro, Luís Pedro; do Espírito Santo Rodrigues, Sónia Isabel; Pinheiro, João; Almeida, R. P. P.The aim of this study is the analysis of SAR during MRI scans, and correlate them with gender, Body Mass Index, type of pulse sequence, acquisition time and the radiofrequencies applied on pulse sequences, and also the anatomic area.
- Assessment of clinical information in examination requests in a radiology department [ECR 2022 Book of Abstracts]Publication . Gonçalves, S.; Abrantes, António; Ribeiro, L. P.; Rodrigues, S.; Lesyuk, O.; Pinheiro, J.; Ribeiro, A. M.; Almeida, R. P. P.Clinical information is an important tool to perform correctly imaging studies. Immobilisation devices may difficult the identification of the region of study, therefore, proper communication before an examination to adjust the study to a patient's condition is important. The present study aims to evaluate the existence or absence of clinical information in the examination requests forms in a radiology department.
- Improving patient health literacy in imaging departmentsPublication . Almeida, R. P. P.; Vicente, Bianca; Abrantes, António; Azevedo, KevinHealth Literacy is a key issue in the healthcare and its operational definition developed for the National Library of Medicine mention that is the “the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions” 1. Health literacy skills are needed for dialogue and discussion, reading health information, making decisions about participating in research activities, using medical tools for personal or familial health care, and even for voting on health or environmental...
- Ultrasound evaluation of the patellar tendon in sports practitioners and non- sports practitioners: the radiographer role [ECR 2022 Book of Abstracts]Publication . Pissara, Ângela; Vicente, B.; Ribeiro, L. P.; Rodrigues, S.; Almeida, R. P. P.; Abrantes, António; Lesyuk, O.; Pinheiro, J.Patellar tendon (PT) injuries are one of the most common overuse injuries in sports. Ultrasound is a well-established technique that has proven to be an ideal choice to characterise and evaluate this tendon. The aim of this study was to evaluate PT dimensions in sports practitioners (SP), namely cyclists and volleyball players (VP), and non-sports practitioners (NSP).
