About
Overview
Dr. Benard Ohene-Botwe is a Senior Lecturer in Diagnostic Radiography at City St George's, University of London. Additionally, he serves as the Programme Director of the Postgraduate Programme in Radiography, which involves CT and MRI studies. He previously worked as the Co-Director of the Programme.
Prior to joining City St George's, Benard worked as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana. As an academic, he has served in many capacities, including the Departmental Examination Officer, Undergraduate Course Director, Postgraduate Studies Coordinator in Radiography, Research Coordinator, Clinical Practice Coordinator, Exams Board Member, Special Admissions Committee Member, Module leader (both undergraduate and postgraduate), and External Examiner.
He began his radiography journey at the University of Ghana and completed his master's degree in radiography at Cardiff University in the UK. His Ph.D. focused on the Development of National Indication-Based Diagnostic Reference Levels and Optimization Methods for Computed Tomography Examinations. This research was undertaken at the University of Ghana with an exchange study at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
Benard is an experienced radiographer with over 17 years of experience and has broad clinical expertise in Conventional Radiography, Fluoroscopy, Computed Tomography, MRI and Interventional Radiography. Before transitioning to academia, he served as a lead CT and Interventional radiographer, playing a pivotal role in groundbreaking procedures conducted by the Interventional Radiology and Surgical teams in Ghana. Some of these pioneering procedures include Endovascular Aneurysm Repair, Interventional Fibroid Embolization, Tubal Blockage Recanalization, Microwave Tumour Ablation, and Liver transplant, among others.
He conducts research in radiography/medical imaging, radiology, and public health, with a key focus on medical imaging safety, clinical education and innovation, and has co-authored over 90 publications. His current research interests focus on patient and staff safety, particularly concerning computed tomography studies, including indication-based diagnostic reference levels, acceptable quality dose (AQD), and radiation protection and optimisation. Other areas of his research include artificial intelligence, including generative AI, and workforce development and retention to help achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3. His recent research also includes sustainability issues.
Benard also serves as an Associate Editor and Editorial Board Member for the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences (JMIRS) and as a peer reviewer for several journals, including Insight into Imaging, Radiography, BMC Health Services Research, JMIRS, and the Journal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences.
He currently serves as a mentor of the Formal Radiography Research Mentoring (FoRRM) scheme of the College of Radiographers (CoR), which aims to increase the research capacity of radiographers in the UK.
He is also an international consultant on the development of indication-based diagnostic reference levels, particularly in computed tomography, and a recipient of the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists’ Chesney-ISRRT Research Award.
