Posted 1 month(s) ago

Job summary

We are seeking an ambitious, innovative individual with a specific interest in cancer imaging and/or colorectal cancers / MR imaging to work on the "Improving Outcomes in Colorectal Cancer with Peritoneal Metastases: PREDICT-PM (PRE-operative Diagnostic Imaging in Colorectal cancer with Peritoneal Metastases" study.

This research project will address a critical gap in the pre-operative management of appendiceal neoplasms. Whilst the Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) is currently the gold standard for assessing disease burden, its radiological application (rPCI) remains inconsistent and technically challenging. The primary objective is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, inter-observer reliability, and predictive value of a standardized CT-PCI atlas in patients with non-mucinous appendiceal adenocarcinomas.

The post holder will be supported with dedicated research time (40% of the role) by Dr Joe Mercer and Dr Rohit Kochhar leading the research project and accountable to the Radiology Clinical Tutor for Fellows, and then to the Clinical Director. Clinical duties will include oncological CT, MRI and PET/CT reporting, under consultant supervision as appropriate, Peritoneal MRI reporting and participation in Peritoneal Tumour Service MDT meetings. They will also have the benefit of working alongside a peer group of other Radiology Fellows, as well as close working with the Consultant Radiologist's

Main duties of the job

The appointee will be based at The Christie, Withington Campus. Clinically they will provide senior input to education and training in specialist cancer imaging, including sub-specialisms in CT and MR. The post holder will be supported in producing imaging reports and in further enhancing their involvement with specialist MDTs. Within Research they will lead project to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, inter-observer reliability, and predictive value of a standardized CT-PCI atlas in patients with non-mucinous appendiceal adenocarcinoma.

The post holder's routine clinical work will initially be closely supervised but they will practice increasingly independently as their experience develops during the year. In turn, the post holder will be able to supervise trainee Radiologists as time and expertise progress.
