📰 This week, we celebrate NRRTW… and JMRS!

As the Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences (JMRS) enters its 13th volume, we pause to reflect on our growth — not only in citations, submissions and impact factor, but also in our identity. Like our professions, JMRS has evolved radically within the global health community.

This new virtual Issue themed “Finding Our Identity” showcases key papers that chart this evolution — from foundational studies to contemporary, data-driven imaging research. It spotlights highly cited articles from each year, demonstrating the professional recognition these publications receive. Together, they highlight how our community has matured:

🌏 From national to international,
🔍 From practice-based to research-informed,
📈 From infancy to adolescence, with maturity on the horizon.

As JMRS enters its teenage years, we celebrate not just how far we’ve come, but the shared identity we continue to build — one defined by quality, curiosity, and community.

✍️ Guest Editors: Elizabeth Brown and Katrina Smith

While many people have had an X-ray, CT scan, MRI or know about radiation therapy, only few know the practitioner performing the scans or delivering the treatments.

It’s time for a little introduction!
Meet the person behind the image.
Meet the person behind cancer care.

The person who stood next to you during the scan that brought both worry and hope.
The person who showed you your baby’s heartbeat for the very first time.
The person who helped treat your grandparent’s cancer.

Knowing the person behind your care empowers you on your health journey.

We are delighted to announce that voting has closed for the position of Board Director for New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, and the current NSW/ACT Director, Laura Adamson, has been re-elected for a further three-year term. Congratulations to Laura – and thanks also to Shayne Chau who nominated for the position.

🎤 Have you ever had an X-ray, CT scan, or MRI?
🎤 Can you list three cancer treatments available today?

Last week, we stood in front of some pretty big street posters and asked people what they knew about the people behind their care: you.

Some responses will surprise you and others will make you feel really good.

NRRTW combined with the national street poster campaign shine a light on the commitment and vital role of radiographers and radiation therapists in everyone’s health. It’s a thank you, a celebration, an eye-opener, and hopefully, a spark of inspiration for the next generation.

👉 Watch and share the video on socials, and don’t forget to comment or to tag us so we can share your stories too!

🎉 Happy National Radiographers and Radiation Therapists’ Week (NRRTW)!

This year’s theme "Meet the person behind your care" is about connecting with patients, explaining what you do, and helping them feel confident about their health.

Here are some simple ways to get involved:

✅ Display the NRRTW posters at your workplace (download and print them if you haven’t ordered your celebration pack)
✅ Wear your tag
✅ Join a Parkrun wearing your NRRTW sticker
✅ Help spread the word on social media

Each action helps spark conversations about who you are, your role and the vital work you do.

All week long, we’ll be sharing videos, a JMRS special issue, and celebrate World Radiography Day on Saturday 8 November.

🤝 Join us and more than 18,000 MRPs around Australia in celebrating our professions!

Australia and New Zealand’s Paediatric Imaging Conference (ANZPIC) took place last weekend at the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) in Melbourne – and it was a huge success! 🎉

With nearly 200 registrations (the highest ever for ANZPIC), sold-out social functions, and in-depth tours of the RCH departments and facilities, the event brought together professionals from across Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong.

Across two days, attendees enjoyed over 40 presentations including talks from invited speakers, sponsor technology updates, lively debates, and more – all focused on the unique challenges and rewards of imaging paediatric patients.

⛰️ As the 2025 conference season wraps up, we look forward to welcoming all medical radiation professionals to Hobart in March 2026.
