The method was retrospective and analytical study for collected variables as radiographs, relative entrance surface dose (ESD) and the effective dose, patient age, gender and causative factors. The analysis with excel software revealed that: the common requested radiographs were skull, abdomen and chest with male incidence as 75%, 72.2% and 64% respectively relative to whole sample. Traffic accident (71%) and fall-down (45%) were the most causative factors among male and female respectively, with injuries as skull fissure fracture (77%) and intracranial hemorrhage (23%). The skull radiographs noted among the age group of 11-21 years and peaking at 36% among the age group of 22-32 years. The requested abdominal radiographs appeared among the age group of 13-21 years; with frequency of (19%) and peaking at 30% among the age group of 22-30 years; with injuries as spleen ruptures (42%) and liver (27%). The chest radiographs observed among age group of 3-13 years; with frequency of 4% and peaking among age groups of 14-24 & 25-35 years old with frequencies of 19% and 21% respectively, and injuries as Ribs fracture (55%), ribs dislocation (15%), pierced lung (20%) hemorrhage (10%). The average ESD for abdomen, skull and the chest radiographs were 1.93±0.8, 1.53±0.6 and 0.21±0.2 mGy which were increase linearly following the aging. And the average effective doses were 0.24±0.1, 0.1±0.1 and 0.4±0.2 mSv respectively.

Sudan National Council for medical and health professions (NCMHP) classify DRTS who has a bachelor's degree in Diagnost Technology (DRT) from a recognized University by NCMHP second specialist. 1 Despite the fact that many DRTSs have several qualifications in radiography, didn't yet found a clear job description for these new names of classifications. Most DRT programmes in Sudanese universities, offering a 5 year BSc Honors degree. In addition, some universities have MSc and PhD programmes as well, such as Sudan University of Science and Technology. Unfortunately, there is a huge shortage of radiologists currently because Sudan has just only 102 graduated radiologists from Sudan Medical Specialization Board (SMSB) between (2008 As result of largerpopulation 39,613,217 according to report of United Nations in 2015 3 and also because of the of radiologists are insufficient. Eventmost of them are found in Khartoum center 4 , there is inadequate services of diagnoses diseases particularly in the areas far away from the Khartoum city center. To overcome such as this problem other countries like Australia and UK recognized the image interpretation by radiographers. 5,6,7

Computed tomography (CT) is a sensitive modality for documenting sinonasal mucosal abnormalities. The aim of this study was to evaluate paranasal mucosal abnormalities in asthma and whether there was a relationship with asthma severity. One hundred fifty-five patients with asthma and 36 normal control subjects were assessed with coronal sinus CT. Asthma was classified as mild, moderate, or severe. Scoring of paranasal sinus abnormalities were assessed for total sinus, total mucosal, and individual sites. The mean scores of total mucosal changes (8.45 points versus 4.67 points, p Ͻ 0.001) and total sinus scores (5.50 versus 2.69, p Ͻ 0.005) were significantly higher in the asthmatic patients compared with controls. Nasal passage and frontal sinus involvements were not statistically different between groups, but all other individual scores were significantly higher in asthmatic patients. There was an involvement site tendency with respect to increasing severity of asthma. Mean total mucosal CT scores (12.57 points versus 7.33 points, p Ͻ 0.05) and individual site scores were statistically higher in asthmatic patients with high blood eosinophil levels compared with those patients with normal blood eosinophil counts except for nasal passage disease. There was no significant relationship between total IgE level and CT scores. Total mucosal and sinus scores were significantly related with asthma severity. There was an involvement tendency of sinuses and sites. Nasal passage involvement was unrelated with asthma. Ethmoidal sinuses and ostiomeatal complexes were involved significantly in patients with mild asthma, whereas maxillary, frontal, and sphenoidal sinuses were involved significantly in patients with severe asthma.

Delay in diagnosis of VL leads to serious complications and eventually death. This study aimed to study the ultrasonographic findings of VL in Sudanese patients.50 Sudanese patients who were clinically diagnosed as VL, attended to Ultrasound Department and were scanned for abdomen. Subject's ages, duration of the disease, liver, spleen, lymph nodes, portal vein and inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter, presence of asites and plural effusion, echogenicity of kidneys and pancreas were evaluated. VL affected the age group 15-30 years in 20 patients (40%) constituting the high incidence and it was less common in age group <15 years (10%).The diseases was common in males (76%) than females (24%) with a ratio of (3.6: 1). The Eastern states constituted the high incidence of the diseases among the other states 27 (54.0%), and Khartoum State constituted the lower incidence 1(2%). Splenomegally, hepatomegally, lymphadenopathy were the most common ultrasound findings. Portal vein, IVC dilatations were less common and were significantly affected with duration of diseases at p value ˂0.0001. VL associated with asites and plural effusion was found in the sample and has statistically significant relation at p value˂ 0.02. Ultrasound detected changes in kidneys and pancreases echogenecity with prolonged disease duration. Ultrasonography has the capability of diagnosis of VL and by using ultrasound complications could be diagnosed earlier and treated before damaging the spleen, liver, lymph nodes or death to occur.

Chronic and fungal sinusitis the sensitivity of coronal view was 77, 61 and 61% respectively compare to axial which was 22, 36 and 38% respectively. In the nasal polyp and granulomatous diseases the efficiency of coronal view was 62 and 65% respectively, while in axial was 37 and 34% respectively. In benign and malignant tumor the efficiency of coronal was 57 and 32% respectively, while in axial view was (42 and 21% respectively. It can be said that the two image planes are perform together and used as essential technique of PNS.

The Abdomen Circumference (AC) is also used along with BPD in determining fetal weight. Measuring placental thickness along with these parameters could be of great value. The main objective of this study was to determine the normal thickness of placenta during second and third trimesters in Sudanese pregnant ladies in order to predict the growth of the fetus, and to understand the relation between the placental thickness and growth parameters (BPD and FL). Fifty three pregnant Sudanese ladies were included in this study. All were normal cases of ages between 20 and 43 years old, in the second and third trimesters checking for antenatal routine ultrasound examinations at Military and Omdurman Maternal hospitals. Patients with history of Diabetes, Hydrops, Hypertension or liability to fetal anomalies were excluded from the study. The BPD, and FL, were measured and then correlated with Gestational Age (GA) for each lady; the placental thickness was measured in the longitudinal section at the insertion of umbilical cord using ultrasonography. The placental thickness was found in the normal mean range of values (20.7±2.1 and 36.2±4.7), in second and third trimester respectively. Normal values of placental thickness in normal Sudanese pregnant ladies with singleton fetuses are in the range of 25 to 45mm in the 3 rd trimester, and between 18 to 24mm in the second trimester. A linear relationship between placental thickness and BPD, FL and gestational ages acquired by them in both 2 nd and 3 rd trimesters. No significant differences were found between ages derived from FL and BPD and PT, and a linear relationship was noted with the maternal age. An equation for gestational age prediction using PT was established. Placenta Thickness had a great value in prediction of fetal health and growth parameters sonographically.

Expansion the task of radiographers to have authority of image report in a specific part of the body will reduce the stress on radiologists due to overload work, more reported images and less patient waiting time. Urgent needs to conduct this study to explore desires of DRTSs in Sudan to image reporting
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted to know desires of DRTSs in Sudan to image reporting. Questionnaire distributed in August 2014 directly to random of 139 DRTSs.
Results: It was observed that 94.2% (n=131/139) of the participants in Sudan would like to write a report of image.
Conclusion: There are more interesting of image reporting by DRTSs in Sudan.
