Journal Article
Nelson, D., Berry, R., Szczepura, K., & Mercer, C. (2022). Assessing the impact of binaural and non-binaural auditory beat intervention to pain and compression in mammography. Radiography, 29(1), 101-108. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2022.09.005

Pain and discomfort has a negative impact on a patient's overall experience and may impact on subsequent re-attendance to mammography. Pain during mammography remains a significant issue. Assessment of interventions to reduce levels of pain associate... Read More about Assessing the impact of binaural and non-binaural auditory beat intervention to pain and compression in mammography.

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...

Effective lifetime radiation risk for a number of national mammography screening programmes (2018)
Journal Article
Ali, R., England, A., McEntee, M., Tootell, A., Mercer, C., & Hogg, P. (2018). Effective lifetime radiation risk for a number of national mammography screening programmes. Radiography, 24(3), 240-246. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2018.02.001

Background and purpose: The performance of mammography screening programmes is focussed mainly on breast cancer detection rates. However, when the benefits and risks of mammography are considered, the risk of radiation-induced cancer is calculated fo...
