PURPOSE: To establish a simple method to determine breast readout accuracy on mammography units. METHODS: A thickness measuring device (TMD) was used in conjunction with a breast phantom. This phantom had compression characteristics similar to human...

Prototype software for the clinical evaluation of In-111 SPECT-CT dotatate images conducted prior to and immediately after Y-90 dotatate radionuclide therapy (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Aim and Background
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are heterogenous and
frequently express cell membrane specific peptide receptors such as somatostatin
receptors (SSTRs). Radiolabelled receptor binding of somatostatin analogues can
guide radioact... Read More about Prototype software for the clinical evaluation of In-111 SPECT-CT dotatate images conducted prior to and immediately after Y-90 dotatate radionuclide therapy.

Analysis of plain X-ray and low resolution CT gonad dose arising from supplementary imaging after bone scanning (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Introduction:Bone scintigraphy has long been the first stop for patients undergoing
investigation of bone metastases. The procedure is recognised as being highly
sensitive to the disease however this corresponds to a low specificity. As a result
s... Read More about Analysis of plain X-ray and low resolution CT gonad dose arising from supplementary imaging after bone scanning.

Quantification of neutrophil migration into the lungs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2011)
Journal Article

Objective: to quantify neutrophil migration into the lungs of patients with chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD).
Methods: neutrophil loss via airways was assessed by dedicated whole-body counting 45 min, 24 h and 2, 4, 7 and 10 days after... Read More about Quantification of neutrophil migration into the lungs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Measuring whole-body neutrophil redistribution using a dedicated whole-body counter and ultra-low doses of 111 Indium (2011)
Journal Article

Background - There is increasing interest in the ‘homing’ of neutrophils to bone marrow. The aim of this study was to measure the whole-body redistribution of 111In using a whole-body counter following the administration of ultra-small activities of...
