Interprofessional research teams in radiography - where the magic happens
1University of Salford, UK.
Abstract:
Based on publications and professional experiences, this article, intended for academic and clinical therapy/diagnostic radiographers, considers conducting research in interprofessional teams, including its values and how to go about achieving it. Whilst there is a growing number of journal papers published by interprofessional teams, almost nothing is published about how best to build interprofessional research relationships or harness the potential of the different professional experience to deliver novel research within the radiography literature. Thus, this article draws heavily on our experiences of creating, working within and leading interprofessional teams which have a specific focus on conducting radiography-related research. Suggestions are proposed about how to create an interprofessional research team and how to get the best out of it. Values of working within an interprofessional research team, to self, to research quality and to the end users of the research are considered.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
