Using mixed model research to evaluate the outcomes of a lean approach to the transformation of an orthopaedic radiology service (2011)
Thesis
Martin, A. Using mixed model research to evaluate the outcomes of a lean approach to the transformation of an orthopaedic radiology service. (Thesis). University of Salford

The purpose of the study was to explore the proposition that lean is an
effective methodology for service improvement within a healthcare setting by
evaluating the changes brought about by the application of lean tools to an
orthopaedic radiology... Read More about Using mixed model research to evaluate the outcomes of a lean approach to the transformation of an orthopaedic radiology service.

Determination of optimal CT exposure factors for lung lesions using an anthropomorphic chest phantom for SPECT-CT (2010)
Journal Article
Thompson, J., Szczepura, K., Tootell, A., Sil, J., Manning, D., & Hogg, P. (2010). Determination of optimal CT exposure factors for lung lesions using an anthropomorphic chest phantom for SPECT-CT. European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 37(Sup. 2), S494. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00259-010-1560-8

PURPOSE: SPECT‐CT is a valuable modality for diagnosis and staging of primary and secondary
malignant disease and also diagnosing benign conditions. CT incurs a significant radiation burden;
consequently CT acquisition parameters require optimisati... Read More about Determination of optimal CT exposure factors for lung lesions using an anthropomorphic chest phantom for SPECT-CT.

Changing professional landscapes : the influence of education on the origin and evolution of radiography advanced practice (2009)
Thesis
Nightingale, J. Changing professional landscapes : the influence of education on the origin and evolution of radiography advanced practice. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Throughout the twentieth century clear professional demarcations have existed between the professions of radiography and radiology in respect of the nature of practitioners' work and responsibilities. Yet, in the last two decades, an extended scope o... Read More about Changing professional landscapes : the influence of education on the origin and evolution of radiography advanced practice.

Preparedness for clinical practice – perceptions of graduates and their work supervisors (2008)
Journal Article
Mackay, S., Anderson, A., & Hogg, P. (2008). Preparedness for clinical practice – perceptions of graduates and their work supervisors. Radiography, 14(3), 226-232. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2007.05.001

Purpose: The standards of performance of healthcare professionals are now well defined and used to determine health professional curricula. Empirical research evidence exists in medicine and nursing which explores how well these curricula prepare the...

The role of the GI radiographer: A UK perspective (2007)
Journal Article
Nightingale, J., & Hogg, P. (2007). The role of the GI radiographer: A UK perspective. Radiologic technology, 78(4), 284-290

Context: Since the 1990s radiographers in the United Kingdom have expanded their role in gastrointestinal (GI) radiology, first by performing double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) examinations independently and later by interpreting and reporting the r...

Further development of the web user self-efficacy scale (WUSE) (2006)
Presentation / Conference
Eachus, P., Hogg, P., & Cassidy, S. (2006, January). Further development of the web user self-efficacy scale (WUSE). Presented at Education in a Changing Environment, University of Salford, UK

The aim of this research was to develop a short version of the WUSE scale (Eachus and Cassidy, 2004) without compromising its psychometric properties. Using item analysis the original 40-item WUSE scale was reduced to 20 items, which were then incorp... Read More about Further development of the web user self-efficacy scale (WUSE).

The impact of simulated motion blur on breast cancer detection performance in full field digital mammography (FFDM)
Thesis
Abdullah, A. (in press). The impact of simulated motion blur on breast cancer detection performance in full field digital mammography (FFDM). (Thesis). University of Salford

Objective: Full-field Digital Mammography (FFDM) is employed in breast screening for the early detection of breast cancer. High quality, artefact free, diagnostic images are crucial to the accuracy of this process. Unwanted motion during the image ac...
