Comparisons of countermovement jump and isokinetic performance in youth athletes: maturation and early sport specialization considerations (2022)
Thesis
Hofmann, C. Comparisons of countermovement jump and isokinetic performance in youth athletes: maturation and early sport specialization considerations. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis examines the impact of maturation status and single versus multiple sport participation on the physical performance of adolescent athletes across 6 studies. Study 1 investigated the test – retest reliability of isokinetic knee flexion and...

Evaluation of the effect of breast implants on the accuracy of the CT attenuation Correction (CTAC) map for SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging: a phantom study (2022)
Thesis
Alanezi, A. Evaluation of the effect of breast implants on the accuracy of the CT attenuation Correction (CTAC) map for SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging: a phantom study. (Thesis). University of Salford

Background: Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging can assess myocardial viability and perfusion. However, overlying thoracic structures, such as ribs or breast tissue lead to gamma ray a...

Identifying the psychosocial needs of Emirati and expatriate breast cancer survivors in the U.A. E.: A mixed method investigation in a hospital setting (2022)
Thesis
Aamir, M. Identifying the psychosocial needs of Emirati and expatriate breast cancer survivors in the U.A. E.: A mixed method investigation in a hospital setting. (Thesis). University of Salford

Cancer is considered as a chronic disease which requires high-quality, long-term, post-treatment care (Drayton, et. al., 2012; Phillips & Currow, 2010). However, long-term survivorship care has become a growing healthcare burden requiring numerous re...

Evaluation of image receptor angulation during mediolateral oblique positioning for optimised pressure and area distribution in mammography (2022)
Thesis
Osmanu, M. Evaluation of image receptor angulation during mediolateral oblique positioning for optimised pressure and area distribution in mammography. (Thesis). University of Salford

Background Mammography is the gold standard diagnostic tool for the screening and diagnosis of breast cancer; however, it is associated with pain and discomfort. The pain and discomfort are mostly due to positioning and the compression applied durin...
