This article examines the importance of patient-centered research in radiology with an emphasis on incorporating the patient perspective to improve patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and research relevance. The methods for effective patient engagement include creating patient advisory councils, developing PRO measures, and incorporating patients as active members of research teams. To solve logistic challenges and technical difficulties, communication tools such as visual aids, simplified language, and digital applications are discussed. Key barriers to patient engagement and potential solutions are discussed. The roles of artificial intelligence (AI) and mobile health (mHealth) platforms in simplifying data, as well as addressing ethical considerations related to data security, transparency, and informed consent, are highlighted.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
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...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
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...
