Abstract:
In the aftermath of the accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011, the nursing profession was unable to take sufficient action in terms of radiation risk communication and radiological protection, partly due to anxiety and a lack of knowledge among nurses about radiation exposure. The Radiological Nursing Society of Japan (RNSJ), established in 2012, has taken a strategic and systematic approach to resolving these situations by setting key milestones and working to develop a programme of basic and advanced radiological nursing education. Having successfully established a foundation for radiological nursing education in Japan, the RNSJ intends to continue developing these important educational programmes.

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...
