Summary
Radiographers find remote scanning technology easy to use, but its usefulness is key to acceptance. Further development and clear governance are needed for successful implementation in MRI departments.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging Technology
- Radiography Practice
- Healthcare Informatics
Background:
- Remote scanning technology enables staff to access and operate equipment from a distance.
- The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of remote working in healthcare.
- Acceptance by radiographers is crucial for the success of new technologies in clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate radiographers' views on remote scanning technology.
- To assess the factors influencing the adoption of remote scanning in MRI departments.
- To identify areas for improvement in remote scanning technology implementation.
Main Methods:
- A survey was conducted among radiographers following a trial of remote scanning technology.
- The survey utilized the Technology Acceptance Model framework.
- Open-ended feedback was collected to gather qualitative insights.
Main Results:
- Perceived ease of use was high, but had minimal impact on the intention to use the technology.
- Perceived usefulness was lower and significantly correlated with attitude and intended use.
- Radiographers viewed the technology as a helpful tool, provided effective implementation support and governance.
Conclusions:
- Perceived usefulness is a critical factor for radiographer acceptance of remote scanning technology.
- Further development and clear implementation strategies are necessary for wider adoption.
- Remote scanning has the potential to enhance training, skill-sharing, and supervision in MRI departments.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...

4.0K
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a very valuable analytical technique for researchers. It has been used for more than 50 years as an analytical tool. F. Bloch and E. Purcell formulated NMR in 1946 and won the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work. Biological macromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and organic molecules including pharmaceutical compounds, can be studied using this versatile tool that exploits the magnetic properties of certain nuclei.
