Job Opportunity at The Christie
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.
Responsibilities
- Supported with dedicated research time (40% of the role) by Dr Joe Mercer and Dr Rohit Kochhar leading the research project.
- Accountable to the Radiology Clinical Tutor for Fellows, and then to the Clinical Director.
- Clinical duties include:
- Oncological CT, MRI and PET/CT reporting, under consultant supervision as appropriate.
- Peritoneal MRI reporting.
- Participation in Peritoneal Tumour Service MDT meetings.
- Working alongside a peer group of other Radiology Fellows, as well as close working with the Consultant Radiologist's.
