𝐌𝐑𝐈 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐂𝐌𝐑 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫
Dear MRI Community,
In Episode #19 of the Everything MRI podcast, we sit down with Kevin Strachan, Cardiac MRI Reporting Radiographer at Nottingham University Hospital and Cardiac MRI Specialist at Philips, to explore the professional journey, day-to-day practice and wider impact of being a 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫, with a strong focus on cardiac MRI.
Over this journey with Kevin, we discuss 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫 - the training routes, credentialing, mentorship and practical skills that make the difference - alongside the actual pros and challenges.

Kevin also shares his experience of 𝐂𝐌𝐑-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: key reporting priorities, common pitfalls to avoid, and crucial sequences and post-processing techniques in this field.

Thanks to his combined 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, he shares valuable thoughts on education, technology adoption and how industry–clinical collaboration can support service growth and training.
As usual, if you have interesting cardiac MRI cases, questions about reporting training pathways, or tips for setting up or scaling a reporting service, feel free to share them in the comments and help the community learn and grow.

Thank you for exploring the world of MRI with us

Dear MRI Community,

In Episode #16 of the Everything MRI podcast, we dive into the evolving world of 𝐌𝐑𝐈 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, credentialing, and the impact of remote operations.

We’re joined by the brilliant Andrew England, the immediate ex-president of the European Federation of Radiographer Societies (EFRS), Senior MRI lecturer at the University College of Cork, and passionate advocate for advancing radiographer training across Europe.

In this insightful episode, Andrew shares his perspectives on the current state and future of 𝐌𝐑𝐈 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 in Europe and beyond, the importance and challenges of 𝐌𝐑𝐒𝐎 (Magnetic Resonance Safety Officer) credentialing, emerging trends in 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 and what it means for clinical practice and training, and how the EFRS is shaping policy, curriculum, and collaboration across european societies and nations.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in MRI education, student development, hospital training programs, or those looking to stay ahead in an increasingly digital and global imaging environment.

Join the conversation and be part of the change.

In Episode #17 of the Everything MRI podcast we dive into 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞-𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐌𝐑𝐈 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲, a radiation free, multiparametric approach that is rapidly changing how clinicians 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞, 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞.

Our guest is Dr Nina Tunariu, Consultant Radiologist at 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐞𝐧, shares clinical insights from a leading cancer centre and discusses when whole-body MRI should be considered instead of, or alongside, other imaging modalities.

Dr. Tunariu explains in detail common scan protocols for whole-body imaging and the pivotal role of 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 (DWI) for detection and monitoring of cancer.

She is also focusing on potential 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 and the need for 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 across centres.

We also examine the implications for 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬, 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 and 𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡, with a focus on reproducibility in different settings (public and private).

Whether you are a radiographer, radiologist, oncologist, physicist or another member of the healthcare team, we are sure you will find this episode full of 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞-𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 that you can apply immediately.
