AP versus PA positioning in lumbar spine computed radiography : Image quality and individual organ doses (2014)
Journal Article
Davey, E., & England, A. (2015). AP versus PA positioning in lumbar spine computed radiography : Image quality and individual organ doses. Radiography, 21(2), 188 - 196. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2014.11.003

Purpose: Radiological imaging examinations must be optimised in order to ensure that the radiation dose is kept as low as reasonably possible (ALARP). The aim of this study was to compare anteroposterior (AP) and posteroanterior (PA) projections of...

Developing and validating a psychometric scale for image quality assessment (2014)
Journal Article
Mraity, H., England, A., & Hogg, P. (2014). Developing and validating a psychometric scale for image quality assessment. Radiography, 20(4), 306-311. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2014.04.002

Purpose Using AP pelvis as a catalyst, this paper explains how a psychometric scale for image quality assessment can be created using Bandura's theory for self-efficacy. Background Establishing an accurate diagnosis is highly dependent upon... Read More about Developing and validating a psychometric scale for image quality assessment.

Development and validation of a psychometric scale for assessing PA chest image quality : A pilot study (2014)
Journal Article
Mriaty, H., England, A., Akhtar, I., Aslam, A., De Lange, R., Momoniat, H., …Hogg, P. (2014). Development and validation of a psychometric scale for assessing PA chest image quality : A pilot study. Radiography, 20(4), 312-317. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2014.03.007

Purpose: To develop and validate a psychometric scale for assessing image quality perception for chest X-ray images. Methods: Bandura's theory was used to guide scale development. A review of the literature was undertaken to identify items/factors... Read More about Development and validation of a psychometric scale for assessing PA chest image quality : A pilot study.
