Development and validation of a bespoke phantom to test accuracy of Cobb angle measurements (2019)
Journal Article
Alrehily, F., Hogg, P., Twiste, M., Johansen, S., & Tootell, A. (2020). Development and validation of a bespoke phantom to test accuracy of Cobb angle measurements. Radiography, 26(2), e78-e87. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2019.11.002

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...

Dose optimisation in paediatric radiography - using regression models to investigate the relative impact of acquisition factors on image quality and radiation dose (2019)
Journal Article

Objective: To investigate the optimum pelvis X-ray acquisition factors for a 10-year-old child. Secondly, to evaluate the impact of each acquisition factor on image quality (IQ) and radiation dose.

Method: Images were acquired using a pelvis phan... Read More about Dose optimisation in paediatric radiography - using regression models to investigate the relative impact of acquisition factors on image quality and radiation dose.

Radiographers’ perspectives’ on visual grading analysis as a scientific method to evaluate image quality (2019)
Journal Article

Introduction

Radiographers routinely undertake many initiatives to balance image quality with radiation dose (optimisation). For optimisation studies to be successful image quality needs to be carefully evaluated. Purpose was to 1) discuss the st...

Impact of acquisition parameters on dose and image quality optimisation in paediatric pelvis radiography - a phantom study (2019)
Journal Article

Purpose: Within paediatric pelvis imaging there is a lack of systematic dose optimisation studies which consider age and size variations. This paper presents data from dose optimisation studies using digital radiography and pelvis phantoms representi...

Radiation protection value to the operator from augmented reality smart glasses in interventional fluoroscopy procedures using phantoms (2019)
Journal Article

Introduction: Smart glasses can be adapted to display radiographic images to allow clinician’s gaze not to be directionally fixed or predetermined by computer monitor location. This study presents an analysis of eye lens dose during interventional fl...

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...
