Medicine and Surgery Final Year Topic: Source and Update Transparency in Public Radiology Imaging-Guideline Documents

This Medicine and Surgery final year project compares how public radiology imaging-guideline documents disclose scope, evidence-search dates, source types and update information.

Why choose this project topic?

Guideline documents can look equally authoritative while describing their evidence and update process differently. A dated comparison makes those disclosures visible without deciding what imaging an individual should receive.

How consistently do selected public radiology imaging-guideline documents disclose their scope, evidence-search dates, source types and update process?

Choose the imaging topic, document issuers, inclusion period and disclosure fields; verify current versions directly at the issuing source before coding.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Select a bounded set of current public imaging-guideline documents from verified issuers.
  2. 02Record each document’s scope, evidence-search date, source description and update statement.
  3. 03Compare disclosure fields while keeping issuing authority and document type distinct.

A suggested research approach

Choose one narrow imaging topic and include only documents whose issuing authority and version can be verified. Create a coding guide for scope, intended audience, evidence-search dates, source types, uncertainty language and update policy. Record page-level evidence for each coding decision, distinguish a guideline from public information or local protocol, and preserve documents whose methods cannot be established. Do not evaluate clinical recommendations or compare patient outcomes.

What you will need

  • A dated collection of official public documents with verified issuing authorities
  • A page-level source log and a pilot-tested document-coding guide
  • Supervisor agreement on the imaging topic and the distinction between guidance types

Keep your project scope clear

This is a transparency review of published documents. It does not determine whether a recommendation is clinically correct, appropriate for a patient or legally binding.
