Operator eye doses during computed tomography fluoroscopic lung biopsy (2016)
Journal Article

The aim of this work was to examine the peak entrance surface air kerma
(peak ESAK) to the eyes during CT fluoroscopy lung biopsy, and the impact
of lead glasses, exposure parameters, head rotation, and height on peak ESAK
to the eyes.
Two phanto... Read More about Operator eye doses during computed tomography fluoroscopic lung biopsy.

A review of incidental findings on low-resolution CT images during SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging : a clinical dilemma (2016)
Journal Article

Incidental findings are common in medical imaging. There is a particularly high
prevalence of incidental findings within the thorax, the most frequent being
pulmonary nodules. Whilst pulmonary nodules have the potential to be
malignant, the vast m... Read More about A review of incidental findings on low-resolution CT images during SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging : a clinical dilemma.

Development and validation of a visual grading scale for assessing image quality of AP pelvis radiographic images (2016)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE: Apply psychometric theory to develop and validate a visual grading scale for assessing visual perception of AP pelvis digital image quality.
METHODS: Psychometric theory was used to guide scale development. Seven phantom and 7 cadaver i... Read More about Development and validation of a visual grading scale for assessing image quality of AP pelvis radiographic images.

Effect of reconstruction methods and x-ray tube current-time product on nodule detection in an anthropomorphic thorax phantom : a crossed-modality JAFROC observer study (2016)
Journal Article

Purpose: To evaluate nodule detection in an anthropomorphic chest phantom in computed tomography (CT) images reconstructed with adaptive iterative dose reduction 3D (AIDR3D) and filtered back projection (FBP) over a range of tube current-time product...

Objectives: To measure paddle motion during the clamping phase of a breast phantom
for a range of machine/paddle combinations.
Methods: A deformable breast phantom was used to simulate a female breast. Twelve
mammography machines from three manufa... Read More about Analysis of motion during the breast clamping phase of mammography.
