- Title
Imaging patients with obesity.
- Authors
Alqahtani, Saeed J; Knapp, Karen M
- Abstract
Dose creep has the potential to result in even greater doses in patients with obesity undergoing imaging if radiographers are not well trained in imaging this group of patients. In addition to the research into technological solutions, further work is required to improve patient experience, so that radiographers as a profession can provide patient-centred compassionate care to this group of patients. Seo et al. suggest that radiographers rely on intuitive decision making in a high pressure setting when imaging patients with obesity and there is a reliance on combining instinct with intelligent thinking.
