The readout thickness versus the measured thickness for a range of screen film mammography (SFM) and full-field digital mammography (FFDM) units (2011)
Journal Article
Hauge, I., Hogg, P., Szczepura, K., Connolly, P., McGill, G., & Mercer, C. (2011). The readout thickness versus the measured thickness for a range of screen film mammography (SFM) and full-field digital mammography (FFDM) units. Medical Physics, 39(1), 263-271. https://doi.org/10.1118/1.3663579

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...

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...

Analysis of plain X-ray and low resolution CT gonad dose arising from supplementary imaging after bone scanning (2011)
Journal Article
Kelly, J., Szczepura, K., Hogg, P., & Tootell, A. (2011). Analysis of plain X-ray and low resolution CT gonad dose arising from supplementary imaging after bone scanning. European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 38(Sup. 2), S445. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00259-011-1913-y

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...

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

Quantification of neutrophil migration into the lungs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 38(5), 911-919. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00259-010-1715-7

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...

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...
