Entrepreneurial thinking in radiography: Developing an imaging facility to support the future workforce
1School of Health and Society, University of Salford, Manchester M5 4WT, UK.
Objectives:
This article explores the significance of recognising and utilising entrepreneurial attributes-such as knowledge, skills, talent, and experience-to develop radiography education guided by a LUCID framework. It aims to demonstrate how enterprising behaviours and competencies can enhance human actions and address healthcare challenges, thereby improving employability in line with the College of Radiographers Education and Career Framework and industry demands.
Key Findings:
The article defines the concepts of Enterprise and Entrepreneurship and discusses the importance of understanding one's accumulated skills and experiences, known as Human Capital, for personal and professional growth. It illustrates how entrepreneurial thinking and utilisation of the LUCID framework facilitated the development of an imaging facility, which reflects a commitment to innovation and excellence in radiography education.
Conclusion:
The article concludes that adopting entrepreneurial practices and reflecting on one's human capital can significantly benefit radiographers and educators. This approach not only enhances personal and professional development but also adds value to the profession, employers, and patients.
Implications For Practice:
Radiographers and educators are encouraged to adopt entrepreneurial practices and reflect on their human capital to identify areas for improvement. This can lead to better healthcare outcomes, improved employability, and alignment with industry demands and the College of Radiographers Education and Career Framework.

01:10Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

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...
