Due to the open nature of a wiki there needs to be a strong set of rules and guidelines to facilitate smooth and harmonious running of the website.

1. Philosophy of wikiRadiography
This site was designed to foster education, learning, development and advanced practice specifically for radiographers and sonographers. Alot of time and effort has been spent creating a site that is professional in both appearance and functionality to represent the profession in the best possible light.

The tone of the website is positive and members can feel free to participate in the wiki and ask questions in the discussion forums. The aim is provide a site that is of benefit to both students and qualified radiographers and increases the knowledge in our profession.

2. Posting of Medical Images
Posting of medical images is encouraged as they are an excellent learning tool, however images must be fully de-identified to keep patient confidentiality

This includes removing:
  • Patient name
  • Patient date of birth
  • Patients sex
  • Patient unit record (UR) / Medical record number (MRN)
  • Name of the department where the image was taken
  • Custom markers (ie radiographer initals)
Any images containing the above details will be deleted immediately.

Posting of images should include at minimum a short summary explaining the image or its significance ( to aid in learning)

Formating of images adds to their impact and their ability to convey a message. An excellent tutorial for formating medical images with photoshop has been made and can be found at http://www.wikiradiography.com/page/Preparing+Images+for+the+Web+with+Photoshop
