A review of mammographic positioning image quality criteria for the craniocaudal projection (2017)
Journal Article
Sweeney, R.-J., Lewis, S., Hogg, P., & McEntee, M. (2017). A review of mammographic positioning image quality criteria for the craniocaudal projection. British Journal of Radiology, 91(1082), https://doi.org/10.1259/bjr.20170611

Detection of breast cancer is reliant on optimal breast positioning and the production of quality images. Two projections, the mediolateral (MLO) and craniocaudal (CC), are routinely performed. Determination of successful positioning and inclusion of... Read More about A review of mammographic positioning image quality criteria for the craniocaudal projection.

Challenges associated with x-ray imaging of stretcher-bound patients (2017)
Journal Article
Tugwell, J., England, A., Hogg, P., & Legg, J. (2017). Challenges associated with x-ray imaging of stretcher-bound patients. Radiologic technology, 89(2), 159-172

Patients often arrive at imaging departments on stretchers, and in certain circumstances they must remain on the stretcher for the imaging examination to reduce the likelihood of exacerbating injuries. Imaging stretcher-bound patients can be challeng... Read More about Challenges associated with x-ray imaging of stretcher-bound patients.

Mathematical modelling of radiation-induced cancer risk from breast screening by mammography (2017)
Journal Article
