What is the minimum amount of simulated breast movement required for visual detection of blurring : An exploratory investigation? (2015)
Journal Article
Ma, W., Aspin, R., Hogg, P., Kelly, J., & Millington, S. (2015). What is the minimum amount of simulated breast movement required for visual detection of blurring : An exploratory investigation?. British Journal of Radiology, 88(1052), https://doi.org/10.1259/bjr.20150126

Background: Image blurring in mammography can cause significant image degradation and interpretational problems. A potential source is due to paddle movement during image formation. Paddle movement has been shown to be as much as 1.5mm. No study has...

Mammography screening in Nigeria – a critical comparison to other countries (2015)
Journal Article
Lawal, O., Murphy, F., Hogg, P., & Nightingale, J. (2015). Mammography screening in Nigeria – a critical comparison to other countries. Radiography, 21(4), 348-351. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2015.03.015

Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women, and according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) there will be a significant increase in the incidence of breast cancer in developing countries such as Nigeria by 2030. However, mammography s... Read More about Mammography screening in Nigeria – a critical comparison to other countries.

Does elevating image receptor increase breast receptor footprint and improve pressure balance? (2015)
Journal Article
Smith, H., Szczepura, K., Mercer, C., Maxwell, A., & Hogg, P. (2015). Does elevating image receptor increase breast receptor footprint and improve pressure balance?. Radiography, 21(4), 359-363. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2015.02.001

There is no consensus in the literature regarding the image receptor (IR) position for the cradio-caudal projection in mammography. Some literature indicates the IR should be positioned to the infra mammary fold (IMF); other literature suggests the...

Lesion detection performance : comparative analysis of low-dose CT data of the chest on two hybrid imaging systems (2015)
Journal Article
Jessop, M., Thompson, J., Coward, J., Sanderud, A., Jorge, J., De Groot, M., …Hogg, P. (2015). Lesion detection performance : comparative analysis of low-dose CT data of the chest on two hybrid imaging systems. Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, 43(1), 53-60. https://doi.org/10.2967/jnmt.114.147447

PURPOSE: Incidental findings, discovered in low-dose CT images obtained during hybrid imaging, are an increasing phenomenon with advancing CT technology. Understanding their diagnostic value along with technical limitations is therefore important...

A phantom-based JAFROC observer study of two CT reconstruction methods : the search for optimisation of lesion detection and effective dose (2015)
Journal Article
Mello-Thoms, C., Kupinski, M., Thompson, J., Chakraborty, D., Szczepura, K., Vamvakas, I., …Hogg, P. (2015). A phantom-based JAFROC observer study of two CT reconstruction methods : the search for optimisation of lesion detection and effective dose. Proceedings of SPIE, 9416, 94160B. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2081632

Purpose: To investigate the dose saving potential of iterative reconstruction (IR) in a computed tomography (CT) examination of the thorax. Materials and Methods: An anthropomorphic chest phantom containing various configurations of simulated lesi...
