A phantom-based method to assess X-ray table mattress interface pressures (2020)
Journal Article
Alresheedi, N., Walton, A., Tootell, A., Webb, J., & Hogg, P. (2020). A phantom-based method to assess X-ray table mattress interface pressures. Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, 51(3), 417-424. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmir.2020.04.007

Background Pressure redistribution performance of X-ray table mattresses can influence the development of pressure ulcers in at risk populations. Interface pressure analysis, with human participants, is a common method to assess mattresses. This... Read More about A phantom-based method to assess X-ray table mattress interface pressures.
