Malignant breast masses-conspicuity analysis in motionsimulated mammograms (2018)
Presentation / Conference
mammograms. Poster presented at The 2018 European Congress of Radiology (ECR), Vienna

The conspicuity of a mass represents a ratio between the contrast of a mass and its surrounding complexity. Measuring the conspicuity of lesions attempts to characterise the visibility of a lesion in terms of the imaging systems diagnostic capabiliti...

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
