Breast compression - an exploration of problem solving and decision making in mammography (2014)
Journal Article
Nightingale, J., Murphy, F., Robinson, L., Newton-Hughes, A., & Hogg, P. (2015). Breast compression - an exploration of problem solving and decision making in mammography. Radiography, 21(4), 364-369. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2014.11.004

Objective: Breast compression decreases radiation dose and reduces potential for motion and geometric unsharpness, yet there is variability in applied compression force within and between some centres. This article explores the problem solving proces... Read More about Breast compression - an exploration of problem solving and decision making in mammography.

Extra patient movement during mammographic imaging : an experimental study (2014)
Journal Article
an experimental study. British Journal of Radiology, 87(1044), https://doi.org/10.1259/bjr.20140241

Objectives: To determine if movement external to the patient occurring during mammography may be a source of image blur. Methods: Four mammography machines with seven flexible and nine fixed paddles were evaluated. In the first stage, movement at the...

Methods: CTAC dosimetry data was collected using therm... Read More about Comparison of effective dose and lifetime risk of cancer Incidence of CT attenuation correction acquisitions and radiopharmaceutical administration for myocardial perfusion imaging.

A 6 year study of mammographic compression force : practitioner variability within and between screening sites (2014)
Journal Article
Mercer, C., Szczepura, K., Kelly, J., Millington, S., Denton, D., Borgen, R., …Hogg, P. (2015). A 6 year study of mammographic compression force : practitioner variability within and between screening sites. Radiography, 21(1), 68-73. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2014.07.004

Background
The application of compression force in mammography is more heavily influenced by the practitioner rather than the client. This can affect client experience, radiation
dose and image quality. This research investigates practitioner comp... Read More about A 6 year study of mammographic compression force : practitioner variability within and between screening sites.

The influence of experience and training in a group of novice observers : A jackknife alternative free-response receiver operating characteristic analysis (2014)
Journal Article
observers : A jackknife alternative free-response receiver operating characteristic analysis. Radiography, 20(4), 300-305. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2014.06.016

Purpose: The study evaluates the pre- and post-training lesion localisation ability of a group of novice
observers. Parallels are drawn with the performance of inexperienced radiographers taking part in
preliminary clinical evaluation (PCE) and ‘re... Read More about The influence of experience and training in a group of novice observers : A jackknife alternative free-response receiver operating characteristic analysis.
