Key Discussion Points

CT Urogram

• Ese Adiotomore presented the findings of CT urography accuracy and scanning timings - Benefit of CTU is that it is a one stop process where the patient is then safely discharged back to primary care.
• All agreed there was a good sample size and a pragmatic approach to something that has low prevalence amongst populations.
• The group suggested gathering more data for CTU to demonstrate that important tumours weren’t missed.

TP Biopsy

• CHFT will be up and running with their TP biopsy service in a couple of months time.
• The service is working well in HUTHT.

Training Opportunities

• Olly noted that international radiologists were due to come to the UK to gain more experience, and would be working up a job plan for them.
• It was agreed that FRCR would be a good baseline for competency.

CRIS Codes

• Different Trusts currently code CT urogram differently - this would need standardising across Trusts to allow accurate payment.
• The group suggested raising this with the Trust service managers.
