Background
There is a risk of developing pressure ulcers from lying on an X-ray table mattress, if the
mattress pressure redistribution properties are poor.

Aim:
To assess the pressure redistribution properties of ‘new’ and ‘in current clinical... Read More about Pressure distribution analysis of x-ray table mattresses.

Introduction. The incidence of pressure ulcers (PUs) presents a substantial threat to patients, especially geriatric patients, those with restricted mobility, and patients suffering from chronic diseases such as cancer. PUs creates a huge financial b... Read More about An experimental intervention study assessing the impact of a thin silicone gel surface overlay on interface pressure.

A new standard in testing mattresses for use in x-ray imaging : developing, validating and using a novel method to test x-ray mattresses for pressure ulcer development, radiation dosimetry and image quality (2020)
Thesis
Alresheedi, N. A new standard in testing mattresses for use in x-ray imaging : developing, validating and using a novel method to test x-ray mattresses for pressure ulcer development, radiation dosimetry and image quality. (Thesis). University of Salford

Background
In hospitals, patients often undergo X-ray imaging while lying on a mattress. Therefore, mattresses must have low X-ray attenuation properties to minimise radiation dose to the patient. Mattresses should create no artifacts within the X-...
