Introduction: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a spinal deformity that causes the spine to bend laterally. Patients with AIS undergo frequent X-ray examinations to monitor the progression of the disorder by through the measurement of the Cobb...

The accuracy of Cobb angle measurement on CT scan projection radiograph images (2019)
Journal Article
Alrehily, F., Hogg, P., Twiste, M., Johansen, S., & Tootell, A. (2020). The accuracy of Cobb angle measurement on CT scan projection radiograph images. Radiography, 26(2), e73-e77. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2019.11.001

Introduction: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a spinal deformity that can affect young children. It requires frequent exposure to X-rays to monitor the deformity, which can lead to the development of radiation-induced cancer later in life. T...

A self-aligning prosthetic device for older patients with vascular-related amputations: Protocol for a randomised feasibility study (the STEPFORWARD study) (2019)
Journal Article
Mitchell, N., Coleman, E., Watson, J., Bell, K., McDaid, C., Barnett, C., …Vanicek, N. (2019). A self-aligning prosthetic device for older patients with vascular-related amputations: Protocol for a randomised feasibility study (the STEPFORWARD study). BMJ Open, 9(9), e032924. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2019-032924

Introduction
The majority of older patients with a transtibial amputation are prescribed a standard (more rigid, not self-aligning) prosthesis. These are mostly suitable for level walking, and cannot adjust to different sloped surfaces. This makes w...

Scoliosis imaging : an analysis of radiation risk in the CT scan projection radiograph and a comparison with projection radiography and EOS (2019)
Journal Article
Alrehily, F., Hogg, P., Twiste, M., Johansen, S., & Tootell, A. (2019). Scoliosis imaging : an analysis of radiation risk in the CT scan projection radiograph and a comparison with projection radiography and EOS. Radiography, 25(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2019.02.005

Introduction: Scoliosis is defined as a deformity of the spine with lateral curvature in the coronal plane. It requires regular X-ray imaging to monitor the progress of the disorder, therefore scoliotic patients are frequently exposed to radiation. I...
