Constructive alignment of a research-informed teaching activity within an undergraduate diagnostic radiography curriculum : a reflection (2016)
Journal Article

Aim: To evaluate the learning experience of a level 5 (year 2) student cohort within a research-informed teaching (RiT) activity and to map findings against learning outcomes and level descriptors using constructive alignment.

Method: An online q... Read More about Constructive alignment of a research-informed teaching activity within an undergraduate diagnostic radiography curriculum : a reflection.

Development of a phantom to test fully automated breast density software – a work in progress (2016)
Journal Article

Objectives: Mammographic density (MD) is an independent risk factor for breast cancer and may have a future role for stratified screening. Automated software can estimate MD but the relationship between breast thickness reduction and MD is not fully...

The role of 18F-sodium fluoride PET/CT bone scans in the diagnosis of metastatic bone disease from breast and prostate cancer (2016)
Journal Article
Kulshrestha, R., England, A., Nightingale, J., Vinjamuri, R., & Hogg, P. (2016). The role of 18F-sodium fluoride PET/CT bone scans in the diagnosis of metastatic bone disease from breast and prostate cancer. Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, 44(4), 217-222. https://doi.org/10.2967/jnmt.116.176859

This article shall describe the role of 18F-Sodium Fluoride (18F-NaF) PET/CT bone scanning in the staging of breast and prostate cancer. 18F-NaF PET was initially utilised as a bone scanning agent in the 1960s and early 1970s, however its usage was r...

A method to determine the impact of reduced visual function on nodule detection performance (2016)
Journal Article

Purpose: In this study we aim to validate a method to assess the impact of reduced visual function and observer performance concurrently with a nodule detection task.

Materials and methods: Three consultant radiologists completed a nodule detectio... Read More about A method to determine the impact of reduced visual function on nodule detection performance.

Effective dose and effective risk from post-SPECT imaging of the lumbar spine (2016)
Journal Article

Purpose
Planar bone scans play an important role in the staging and monitoring of malignancy and metastases. Metastases in the lumbar spine are associated with significant morbidity, therefore accurate diagnosis is essential. Supplementary imaging...

The impact of greyscale inversion for nodule detection in an anthropomorphic chest phantom: a free-response observer study (2016)
Journal Article

Objective: The aim of this work was to assess the impact of greyscale inversion on nodule detection on poster- oanterior chest X-ray images. Previous work has attemp- ted this, with no consensus opinion formed. We assessed the value of “fast-flicking...

Gonad dose in AP pelvis radiography : impact of anode heel orientation (2016)
Journal Article

Purpose: For antero posterior (AP) pelvis radiographic examination, determine the impact of anode heel orientation on female / male gonad dose.
Methods: High sensitivity thermo-luminescent dosimeters (TLDs) were used with an ATOM dosimetry phantom;... Read More about Gonad dose in AP pelvis radiography : impact of anode heel orientation.

Impact of errors in recorded compressed breast thickness measurements on volumetric density classification using volpara v1.5.0 software (2016)
Journal Article

Purpose: Mammographic density has been demonstrated to predict breast cancer risk. It has been proposed that it could be used for stratifying screening pathways and recommending additional imaging. Volumetric density tools use the recorded compressed...
