Variability in the perception and application of force used in IVC filter retrievals among interventional radiologists (2022)
Journal Article
Chan, T., Shaikh, U., England, A., & McWilliams, R. (2022). Variability in the perception and application of force used in IVC filter retrievals among interventional radiologists. Radiography, 28(1), 68-74. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2021.07.023

Introduction A long dwell time is associated with higher inferior vena cava (IVC) filter retrieval complication rates. Manufacturers advise that “excessive force should not be used” during filter retrieval; however, the term “excessive” is subjectiv...

Introduction The evolution of technology within healthcare is continuing at a rapid rate. Touchless technologies (i.e. those involving gestures and voice commands) are rapidly being integrated into daily life. The aim of this study was to investigat...

A narrative review on pressure ulcer (PU) studies relevant to medical imaging (2020)
Journal Article
Angmorterh, S., England, A., Anaman-Torgbor, J., Korley Kortei, N., Alidu, H., Yarfi, C., …Hogg, P. (2020). A narrative review on pressure ulcer (PU) studies relevant to medical imaging. ˜The œPan African medical journal, 36, 66. https://doi.org/10.11604/pamj.2020.36.66.19431

Pressure ulcers (PUs) are defined as localised injuries to the skin and/or underlying tissue as a result of pressure or pressure together with shear. PUs present significant health implications to patients; costing billions to manage and/or treat. Th... Read More about A narrative review on pressure ulcer (PU) studies relevant to medical imaging.

Low-dose chest CT and the impact on nodule visibility (2020)
Journal Article
Tugwell-Allsup, J., Owen, B., & England, A. (2021). Low-dose chest CT and the impact on nodule visibility. Radiography, 27(1), 24-30. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2020.05.004

The need to continually optimise CT protocols is essential to ensure the lowest possible radiation dose for the clinical task and individual patient. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of reducing effective mAs on nodule detection and ra... Read More about Low-dose chest CT and the impact on nodule visibility.

Inclusion of evidence and research in European radiography curricula (2020)
Journal Article
England, A., & McNulty, J. (2020). Inclusion of evidence and research in European radiography curricula. Radiography, 26(Sup. 2), S45-S48. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2020.04.018

To provide a short reflective article discussing the extent to which evidence and research are included within radiography training curricula and whether there is a need for change and greater standardisation. Great steps have been taken to harmonise... Read More about Inclusion of evidence and research in European radiography curricula.

The validity and reliability of the exposure index as a metric for estimating the radiation dose to the patient (2020)
Journal Article
Erenstein, H., Browne, D., Curtin, S., Dwyer, R., Higgins, R., Hommel, S., …England, A. (2020). The validity and reliability of the exposure index as a metric for estimating the radiation dose to the patient. Radiography, 26(Sup 2), S94-S99. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2020.03.012

Introduction With the introduction of digital radiography, the feedback between image quality and over-exposure has been partly lost which in some cases has led to a steady increase in dose. Over the years the introduction of exposure index (EI)... Read More about The validity and reliability of the exposure index as a metric for estimating the radiation dose to the patient.

Optimising image quality and radiation dose for neonatal incubator imaging (2020)
Journal Article
Tugwell-Allsup, J., Morris, R., Gibbs, R., & England, A. (2020). Optimising image quality and radiation dose for neonatal incubator imaging. Radiography, 26(4), e258-e263. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2020.03.011

Introduction Neonates often require imaging within incubators however limited evidence exists as to the optimal method and acquisition parameters to achieve these examinations. This study aims to standardise and optimise neonatal chest radiography w... Read More about Optimising image quality and radiation dose for neonatal incubator imaging.

A technique for determining pump injector settings for an on-table CT or 3D DSA in interventional radiology (2020)
Journal Article

Introduction On-Table computed tomography (CT) or 3D digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in interventional radiology (IR) has become a valuable diagnostic tool. Methods A review of the literature found a poor evidential base supporting the te...

Introduction: Little is known about the variations in pathology visibility (PV) and their corresponding radiation dose values for neonatal chest radiography, between and within hospitals. Large variations in PV could influence the diagnostic outcome...
