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.

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...

What is the minimum amount of simulated breast movement required for visual detection of blurring : An exploratory investigation? (2015)
Journal Article
Ma, W., Aspin, R., Hogg, P., Kelly, J., & Millington, S. (2015). What is the minimum amount of simulated breast movement required for visual detection of blurring : An exploratory investigation?. British Journal of Radiology, 88(1052), https://doi.org/10.1259/bjr.20150126

Background: Image blurring in mammography can cause significant image degradation and interpretational problems. A potential source is due to paddle movement during image formation. Paddle movement has been shown to be as much as 1.5mm. No study has...

Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women, and according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) there will be a significant increase in the incidence of breast cancer in developing countries such as Nigeria by 2030. However, mammography s... Read More about Mammography screening in Nigeria – a critical comparison to other countries.

Does elevating image receptor increase breast receptor footprint and improve pressure balance? (2015)
Journal Article
Smith, H., Szczepura, K., Mercer, C., Maxwell, A., & Hogg, P. (2015). Does elevating image receptor increase breast receptor footprint and improve pressure balance?. Radiography, 21(4), 359-363. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2015.02.001

There is no consensus in the literature regarding the image receptor (IR) position for the cradio-caudal
projection in mammography. Some literature indicates the IR should be positioned to the infra mammary
fold (IMF); other literature suggests the... Read More about Does elevating image receptor increase breast receptor footprint and improve pressure balance?.
