Abstract

This year, OPTIMAX was warmly welcomed by University College Dublin. For the sixth time students and teachers from Europe, South Africa, South America and Canada have come together enthusiastically to do research in the Radiography domain. As in previous years, there were several research groups consisting of PhD-, MSc- and BSc students and tutors from the OPTIMAX partner Universities or on invitation by partner Universities. OPTIMAX 2018 was partly funded by the partner Universities and partly by the participants.

This year, five research projects were performed with a focus on education on dose- and image quality optimization.

The research projects were:

• CT Simulation as an Active learning tool
• Redesigning a Radiography Practical Active Learning Space
• Does Radiographer Training Across Europe Alter Image Viewing Patterns and Decisions?
• An Investigation into the Use of Lead Shielding Protection in Abdominal Radiography
• Inter-user Variability in DXA Scanning and Analysis

The summer school was concluded with a poster session and a conference, where the research teams presented their results. All five abstracts were submitted to the European congress of Radiology (ECR) and, when accepted, will be presented by the students as posters, or oral presentations.

This book comprises of two sections, the first section contains several chapters about new educational applications for Radiology Education. The second section contains the research papers of the five research projects.
