Skeletal Survey Imaging: From Basics to Future Trends | Chapter 5 | Medical Science: Updates and Prospects Vol. 7

 

Skeletal Survey (SS) imaging is a method by which the diagnosis of suspected non-accidental injury (NAI) and other forms of skeletal dysplasia is achieved, and high Quality Assurance (QA) is essential to high diagnostic yield. The chapter is an informational helpbook on the modern practices of SS, as it addresses the transformation of the traditional radiography model into transformative types of technological development. We present renewed discussion on Dual-Energy CT (DECT) and Photon-Counting Detector CT (PCD-CT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) fracture-detection models, with a more specific focus on how they aid in improving their diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, the chapter discusses how these innovations can be used together with the necessary medico-legal and radiation safety (ALARA) standards. Combining clinical standards and new technology, the given work is supposed to equip clinicians with the means to achieve maximum patient outcomes and the highest standards of musculoskeletal radiology.

Sustainable Quality Assurance in Higher Education: From Standards to Systematic Change | Chapter 4 | Quality Assurance Practices for Transformative Higher Education in Southern Africa

Quality assurance (QA) in higher education has shifted from compliance-driven standards to an intellectualised framework integrating critical thinking, continuous improvement, and alignment with global sustainability agendas. Beyond regulatory compliance, QA now embraces holistic excellence, ensuring academic rigour, societal relevance, and adaptability to global challenges like technological disruption and inequity. Intellectualising QA transcends benchmarking; it cultivates institutional cultures of innovation, inclusivity, and responsibility, key to advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through education, research, and societal engagement. This chapter proposes a transformative QA framework that aligns higher education’s core functions with global sustainability targets, offering actionable pathways for institutional change.
