Journal Article
Angmorterh, S., England, A., Szczepura, S., Anaman-Torgbor, J., Ofori, E., Webb, J., …Hogg, P. (2019). An investigation of pressure ulcer risk, comfort and pain in medical imaging. Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, 50(1), 43-52. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmir.2018.07.003

In this study, we investigated the interface pressure of healthy volunteers on medical imaging (MI) table surfaces to determine the risks of developing pressure ulcers (PU). We also investigated volunteers’ perception of pain and comfort while lying... Read More about An investigation of pressure ulcer risk, comfort and pain in medical imaging.

Aim Pelvic radiography is used for the identification of hip joint changes, including pathologies such as osteoarthritis. Several studies have recommended that the position for this radiological procedure should be standing, not supine, to reflec...

Background and purpose: The performance of mammography screening programmes is focussed mainly on breast cancer detection rates. However, when the benefits and risks of mammography are considered, the risk of radiation-induced cancer is calculated fo...

Challenges associated with x-ray imaging of stretcher-bound patients (2017)
Journal Article
Tugwell, J., England, A., Hogg, P., & Legg, J. (2017). Challenges associated with x-ray imaging of stretcher-bound patients. Radiologic technology, 89(2), 159-172

Patients often arrive at imaging departments on stretchers, and in certain circumstances they must remain on the stretcher for the imaging examination to reduce the likelihood of exacerbating injuries. Imaging stretcher-bound patients can be challeng... Read More about Challenges associated with x-ray imaging of stretcher-bound patients.
