Professor Ric Khine has been appointed as the new editor of Imaging & Oncology, a prestigious publication owned by the Society of Radiographers.
The call for a new editor was issued in May, after former editor Professor Ruth Strudwick announced that she would be stepping down after six years at the helm.
In his new role, Professor Khine will lead the development of the annual Imaging and Oncology (I&O) publication, which is launched each year in time for the UKIO conference.

The editions usually feature 10 to 12 articles relevant to the imaging and oncology professions. Those featured in the magazine have a range of backgrounds, with radiographers, radiologists and nurses having contributed in the past.
Professor Khine will officially step into the role in September 2024.
