How protected are you while protecting patients?

People working in fluoroscopy environments face two occupational risks that are often considered separately: cumulative radiation exposure and the musculoskeletal strain associated with long procedures and heavy protective equipment.

ORSIF has created a free, role-tailored assessment for physicians, nurses, radiologic technologists, medical physicists, radiation safety officers and others working around fluoroscopy.

It takes about 90 seconds. You receive:

• A personal radiation exposure risk score
• A musculoskeletal injury risk score
• Recommendations tailored to your role and location
• A practical action plan and Protection Profile
No signup is required to begin.

This is a useful opportunity for individuals and departments to consider not only whether protective equipment is available, but whether exposure is being monitored effectively and staff are being adequately protected.

A role-tailored, dual-axis (radiation exposure plus musculoskeletal injury) risk score and action plan for caregivers who work in the fluoroscopy environment. About 90 seconds.

Starting a new radiography programme in September 2026? Expanding student numbers or upgrading your simulation facilities?
For every 10 qualifying Virtual Medical Coaching radiography simulation licenses purchased, we are providing a complimentary Meta Quest 3S headset.

There is no maximum limit to the offer.

Already have the hardware you need? Institutions can instead choose an NZ$500 credit per 10 licences toward the associated software agreement.

This is about making it easier for universities to give more students access to realistic radiography simulation before they enter clinical placements.
The promotion is available to healthcare education providers in the UK, Ireland, USA, Europe, Australia and New Zealand for the 2026 academic intake.

Full details and terms:

Equip your radiography simulation lab with immersive VR. Receive a free Meta Quest 3S headset for every 10 two-year Virtual Medical Coaching licenses

I don’t often make requests like this, but this one matters.

I volunteer with SPRING ACT, the organization behind Sophia, a confidential chatbot available around the clock to help people affected by domestic violence understand their rights, gather potential evidence and find a path to support.

SPRING ACT is currently raising funds to help Sophia reach more people who may have nowhere else to turn. For the next few hours, eligible donations of USD 100 or more will attract additional funding through GlobalGiving’s Bonus Day.

If you have the ability to give, please do. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this post may put it in front of someone who can.

We are aiming to reach USD 15,000 before Bonus Day closes at 4 pm CEST / 10 am ET today.

Please share this while the matching window is still open.

What does adaptive learning actually look like?

We have been building a short interactive learning experiences.

Rather than simply giving every learner the same video, slides or quiz, the aim is to understand what the learner knows, identify where they may be struggling, and adapt the teaching accordingly.

Have a play with the demo:

It is deliberately a small example, but it shows the direction we are taking with adaptive medical imaging education.

I would be genuinely interested to hear what radiographers, educators and students think.

What Does Adaptive Learning Actually Look Like in Radiography Education?

We are developing new adaptive teaching and learning modules for medical imaging and radiation sciences.
These modules are being built to support students across areas such as radiography, diagnostic imaging, nuclear medicine and radiation safety.

The aim is not just to show whether a student got a question right or wrong. It is to build a clearer picture of how that student is progressing, where their confidence is well placed, and where more support may be needed.

The platform incorporates:
Bayesian Knowledge Tracing for immediate per-question mastery
Hidden Markov Models for session-to-session progression tracking
Knowledge Space Theory for prerequisite rules
Item Response Theory for large calibrated question banks

For students, this means more useful feedback.
For teaching teams, it means individual analytics, cohort signals and clearer insight into where teaching support may be needed before gaps become bigger problems.
Every question should do more than generate a score.

It should help improve learning.

Medical imaging education should let students practise before they are expected to perform.

Immersive radiography simulation gives learners a safe way to understand positioning, exposure settings, image quality, anatomy, and clinical decision-making before entering real imaging environments.

That is where simulation becomes more than a teaching tool. It becomes a bridge between theory, confidence, and practice.
