Graduation Project Presentations & “Radiography Got Talent” – Medical Imaging Technology Program

A full auditorium, live image demos, and rapid-fire faculty Q&A set the stage as the Medical Imaging & Radiography Technology Program showcased its graduation projects—rounded off with a student-led creative challenge, “Radiography Got Talent.” The day brought academia and industry shoulder to shoulder to assess how well GU graduates translate theory into safe, clinic-ready practice.

Who joined the jury & audience from the health sector

• Prof. Magid Badawy, Head of Radiology, Cleopatra Hospital

• Prof. Bassam El-Fattah, Head of Radiology, Saudi German Hospital

• Dr. Mohamed Abu El-Azm, Representative, IMed Inc.

• Eng. Amr Nour El-Din, Founder, K-Ray

• Rology representatives: Mr. Mohamed Sami, COO (with technical leads participating)

• Dr. Karim Mohamed, Head of Radiology, Al-Osra Hospital

University leadership in attendance

• Prof. Dr. Mohamed El-Shinawi, President of Galala University

• Prof. Dr. Ehab Hassanein, Vice President for Academic Affairs

• Dr. Rana Zeidan, Secretary General

• Prof. Dr. Adel El-Ged, Dean, Faculty of Applied Health Sciences

Opening remarks from President Prof. Dr. Mohamed El-Shinawi underscored GU’s direction: measurable learning outcomes, responsible innovation, and tighter partnerships with hospitals and health-tech firms to ensure that the skills students master map cleanly to real workflows.

Graduation projects—what stood out

• Image-quality optimization under dose constraints (CT/DR), with students presenting protocol tweaks and phantom-based comparisons.

• AI-assisted triage concepts for radiographs, focusing on validation steps, bias checks, and safe human-in-the-loop usage.

• Radiation safety playbooks for student rotations—PPE compliance, signage, incident logs, and dose-tracking dashboards.

• PACS mini-builds for teaching labs, including structured reporting templates and audit trails.

Judges pressed for evidence: study design, reproducibility, and how proposed improvements would affect patient throughput, dose, cost, and clinician satisfaction. Several teams left with concrete invitations to explore pilots and shadowing days inside partner departments.

“Radiography Got Talent” — creative rigor on display
This fast-paced segment blended showmanship with science: students translated complex imaging ideas into compelling, lay-friendly narratives—visual explainer boards, short demos, and crisp safety messages for non-specialists. The best entries balanced accuracy with accessibility, a skill increasingly vital for patient communication and inter-disciplinary teamwork.

Why this day matters

• It bridges classroom to clinic, letting external experts stress-test competencies before graduation.

• It accelerates employability, opening pathways to internships, research assistance, and junior technologist roles.

• It tightens feedback loops with industry—so GU curricula evolve in step with technology and care standards.
