A review of individual and institutional publication productivity in medical radiation science (2015)
Journal Article
Ekpo, E., Hogg, P., & McEntee, M. (2016). A review of individual and institutional publication productivity in medical radiation science. Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, 47(1), 13-20. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmir.2015.11.002

Aims: To investigate the research impact of active medical radiation science (MRS) researchers and the research output of MRS institutions globally. Methods: An iterative search strategy was used to firstly identify productive MRS authors and...

An overview of nuclear medicine imaging procedures (2015)
Journal Article
Hogg, P., & Lawson, R. (2015). An overview of nuclear medicine imaging procedures. Nursing Standard, 30(13), 52-59. https://doi.org/10.7748/ns.30.13.52.s47

Nuclear medicine imaging is not generally well understood by nurses who work outside this area. Consequently, nurses can find themselves unable to answer patients’ questions about nuclear medicine imaging procedures or give them proper information be...

Multicentre analysis of incidental findings on low-resolution CT attenuation correction images : an extended study (2015)
Journal Article
CT attenuation correction images : an extended study. British Journal of Radiology, 88(1056), https://doi.org/10.1259/bjr.20150555

Objective: To review new incidental findings detected on low-resolution CT attenuation correction (CTAC) images acquired during single-photon emission CT-CT myocardial perfusion imaging as an extension to our initial study. Methods: CTAC images... Read More about Multicentre analysis of incidental findings on low-resolution CT attenuation correction images : an extended study.

Visual function assessment in medical imaging research (2015)
Journal Article
Lanca, C., Thompson, J., Lanca, L., & Hogg, P. (2015). Visual function assessment in medical imaging research. Radiologic technology, 87(2), 129-138

Background: Medical image perception research relies on visual data to study the diagnostic relationship between observers and medical images. A consistent method to assess visual function for participants in medical imaging research has not been d... Read More about Visual function assessment in medical imaging research.

Radiation dose differences between thoracic radiotherapy planning CT and thoracic diagnostic CT scans (2015)
Journal Article
Sanderud, A., England, A., Hogg, P., Fosså, K., Svensson, S., & Johansen, S. (2016). Radiation dose differences between thoracic radiotherapy planning CT and thoracic diagnostic CT scans. Radiography, 22(2), 107-111. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2015.08.003

Purpose: To compare the absorbed dose from computed tomography (CT) in radiotherapy planning (RP CT) against those from diagnostic CT (DG CT) examinations and to explore the possible reasons for any dose differences. Method: Two groups of patients u... Read More about Radiation dose differences between thoracic radiotherapy planning CT and thoracic diagnostic CT scans.

A method for calculating effective lifetime risk of radiation-induced cancer from screening mammography (2015)
Journal Article
Ali, R., England, A., McEntee, M., & Hogg, P. (2015). A method for calculating effective lifetime risk of radiation-induced cancer from screening mammography. Radiography, 21(4), 298-303. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2015.07.008

Purpose: To propose a method for evaluating the effective lifetime risk of radiation-induced cancer from screening mammography and to present initial data for the UK National Breast Screening Programme. Material and methods: The imaging was und... Read More about A method for calculating effective lifetime risk of radiation-induced cancer from screening mammography.

Breast composition : measurement and clinical use (2015)
Journal Article
Ekpo, E., Hogg, P., Highnam, R., & McEntee, M. (2015). Breast composition : measurement and clinical use. Radiography, 21(4), 324-333. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2015.06.006

Breast density is a measure of the extent of radiodense fibroglandular tissue in the breast. The risk of developing breast cancer and the risk of missing cancer at screening rise with higher breast density. In this paper, the historical background to...
