Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature death in the United Kingdom with one type, coronary artery disease, killing more than twice as many women as breast cancer. Conventional CVD risk factors have been shown to have less accu...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an indispensable tool in healthcare and research, with a growing demand for its services. The appeal of MRI stems from its non-ionizing radiation nature, ability to generate high-resolution images of internal organ...

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 SalfordBackground: 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... Read More about 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.
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 SalfordBackground
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...

The impact of viewing conditions on image quality assessment tasks in mammographic quality control (2021)
Thesis
Objective:
Mammography is a technically demanding x-ray examination requiring optimal image quality to enable the early detection of breast cancer. Quality control (QC) processes ensure that the equipment in the diagnostic imaging process is functi...

Towards optimisation of compression force in mammography (2019)
Thesis
This work focusses on the compression force applied to the breast during mammographic imaging. The lack of guidance and evidence base has led to variability in practice, and the implications of this will be discussed. All research was carried out on...
