Fact or fiction : an analysis of the 10 kVp ‘rule’ in computed radiography (2013)
Journal Article
radiography. Radiography, 19(3), 223-227. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2013.05.003Purpose: To determine whether increasing the tube voltage by 10 kVp whilst reducing the tube current by 50% (10 kVp ‘rule’) produces similar perceptual image quality. Method: 391 matched pairs of anthropomorphic chest phantom X-ray images were pro... Read More about Fact or fiction : an analysis of the 10 kVp ‘rule’ in computed radiography.
Tissue bulge during stereotactic core biopsy (2013)
Journal Article
Hackney, L., Williams, S., Hogg, P., & Szczepura, K. (2013). Tissue bulge during stereotactic core biopsy. Radiography, 19(4), 366-368. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2013.06.007In full field digital mammography (FFDM) the whole breast is subjected to compression with a perspex compression paddle in order to reduce breast thickness and improve image quality. Once a mammographic abnormality has been detected using FFDM and a... Read More about Tissue bulge during stereotactic core biopsy.
Practitioner compression force variation in mammography : a 6 year study (2013)
Journal Article
Mercer, C., Hogg, P., Szczepura, K., & Denton, E. (2013). Practitioner compression force variation in mammography : a 6 year study. Radiography, 19(3), 200-206. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2013.06.001The application of breast compression in mammography may be more heavily influenced by the practitioner rather than the client. This could affect image quality and will affect client experience. This study builds on previous research to establish i...

A method to measure paddle and detector pressures and footprints in mammography (2013)
Journal Article
Hogg, P., Szczepura, K., Darlington, A., & Maxwell, A. (2013). A method to measure paddle and detector pressures and footprints in mammography. Medical Physics, 40(4), 041907. https://doi.org/10.1118/1.4792720Purpose: Compression is necessary in mammography to improve image quality and reduce radiation burden. Maximizing the amount of breast in contact with the image receptor (IR) is important. To achieve this, for the craniocaudal projection, there is n...

Optimising the number of thermoluminescent dosimeters required for the measurement of effective dose for computed tomography attenuation correction data in SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging (2013)
Journal Article
Tootell, A., Szczepura, K., & Hogg, P. (2013). Optimising the number of thermoluminescent dosimeters required for the measurement of effective dose for computed tomography attenuation correction data in SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging. Radiography, 19(1), 42-47. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2012.11.001Background The use of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) is regarded as time consuming and laborious. As part of our dosimetry research it was necessary to optimise the use of our resources, both physical and time. Experimental work was carried...

Pressure and breast thickness in mammography : an exploratory calibration study (2013)
Journal Article
Hogg, P., Taylor, M., Szczepura, K., Mercer, C., & Denton, E. (2013). Pressure and breast thickness in mammography : an exploratory calibration study. British Journal of Radiology, 86(1021), 1-7. https://doi.org/10.1259/bjr.20120222Objective To perform a calibration study to provide data to help improve consistency in the pressure that is applied during mammography. Methods Automatic readouts of breast thickness accuracy vary between mammography machines; therefore, one m...
