My current position in the Department of Clinical Radiology
is Photographic Technician. Medical imaging is at the forefront
of digital technology and recent advances within the specialty have
meant the demise of traditional photographic techniques. I am
primarily involved in the production of high quality images sourced
from all the imaging modalities, MR, CT, US, CR and SPECT for use
in publication, slide (link to a interactive slide show IE enhanced)
(Netscape enhanced version) and poster presentation, teaching, WWW
pages and distance learning. I also have responsibilty for the Computer
and ITsupport within the Department of Clinical Radiology.


I have included examples of my work but these pages represent only
a small proportion of the type of work I carry out  if you require any
further information please do not hestitate to mail me.


I have successfully completed and implemented a PC based Dicom
[2]image retrieval, manipulation ,archive and output system. This system
gives us the ability to take first generation clinical digital data from
Magnetic Resonance, Computed Tomography, Ultrasound and Computed
Radiology. As a clinical teaching division we rely on the production of
high quality diagnostic images for the use in all publication material and
teaching resources.

Due to the large numbers of images the clinical group produces I am working
on an html database that gives us the ability to view, organise, retrieve and
archive our digital data in a more structured enviroment. These images
have many post-captured uses and it is important we have the facility to
retrieve this information quickly.

I have also developed a PC based s-Video production facilty which
allows us to produce high quality video material for teaching and for use
as an aid to understanding radiological anatomy and cardiac flow.
