Biomedicina i tehnologija se mijenjaju. Radiologija i radiološka tehnologija se nepovratno mijenjaju. Svjedoci smo ubrzanom, eksponencijalnom razvoju informacijske tehnologije kao dijela radiološke tehnologije i sve više se približavamo kvantnom svijetu, kako u računarstvu, tako i u radiološkoj dijagnostici i terapiji. Počeli smo koristiti „photon counting“ tehniku oslikavanja.
Ipak, za ljubitelje radiološke tehnologije i dalje ostaju zanimljiva i nedovoljno istražena neka na prvi pogled temeljna pitanja – kvaliteta slike i korelacija između digitalne sive skale i CT vrijednosti (Hounsfieldovih jedinica), primjena radiografi je u drugim područjima, utjecaj i odnos brzine snimanja, parametara stola, snopa zračenja i kvalitete slikovnog prikaza a upravo su to neke od tema ovog broja Radiološkog vjesnika. Analiza kvalitativnih parametara temeljenih na DICOM standardu, uvjeti su za primjenu umjetne inteligencije u obradi radiološkog slikovnog prikaza. Ništa manje privlačna su područja hibridnog oslikavanja, sve prisutnija u suvremenoj dijagnostici i terapiji, a kao jedna od uvijek prisutnih i nedovoljno defi niranih tema tu je i ultrazvuk i edukacija sonografera. U svijetu radioterapije također smo zakoračili u novo i manje poznato područje FLASH radioterapije.
U drugom izdanju Radiološkog vjesnika 2025. godine, čitatelji se imaju priliku upoznati sa svim ovim temama kroz izvorne znanstvene radove, preglede dostupne literature i stručne članke, a kroz sažetak sa skupa su podijeljeni i dojmovi i zaključci s Radionice Hrvatskog društva radiološke tehnologije – OKRT 9, održane u Plitvicama 11. – 13. travnja 2025. godine.
Posebnost ovog izdanja je što prati puni program i sve prijavljene radove za 6. Kongres radiološke tehnologije koji se održava u Vodicama, 07. do 09. studenog 2025. godine.
Poštovane kolegice i kolege, budimo dionici ovog vremena i trenutka mijenjanja radiološke tehnologije, kao temeljne dijagnostičke grane u biomedini i zdravstvu.

A word from the Editor
Biomedicine and technology are changing. Radiology and radiological technology are changing irreversibly. We are witnessing the accelerated, exponential development of information technology as part of radiological technology and we are getting closer to the quantum world, both in computing and in radiological diagnostics and therapy. We have started to use the “photon counting” imaging technique.
However, for fans of radiological technology, some seemingly fundamental questions remain interesting and insufficiently researched – image quality and correlation between digital grey scale and CT values (Hounsfield units), application of radiography in other areas, influence and relationship of imaging speed, table parameters, radiation beam and image quality, and these are some of the topics of this issue of Radiological Journal. Analysis of qualitative parameters based on the DICOM standard are the conditions for the application of artificial intelligence in radiological image processing. No less attractive are the areas of hybrid imaging, increasingly present in modern diagnostics and therapy, and as one of the ever-present and insufficiently defined topics, there is ultrasound and the education of sonographers. In the world of radiotherapy, we have also stepped into a new and less well-known area of FLASH radiotherapy.
In the second edition of the Radiological Journal in 2025, readers have the opportunity to become familiar with all these topics through original scientific papers, reviews of available literature and professional articles, and through a summary of the conference, impressions and conclusions from the Workshop of the Croatian Society of Radiological Technology – OKRT 9, held in Plitvice from 11 to 13 April 2025, are shared.
The special feature of this edition is that it follows the full program, and all submitted papers for the 6th Congress of Radiological Technology, which will be held in Vodice from 7 to 9 November 2025.
Dear colleagues, let us be part of this time and moment of changing radiological technology, as a fundamental diagnostic branch in biomedicine and healthcare.
