Thesis
Lawal, O. (in press). The ‘fear factor’ : Nigerian women and practitioners’ views on the factors affecting attendance in mammography screening. (Thesis). University of Salford

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death amongst women. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), a significant increase in the incidence of breast cancer is expected in developing countries (such as Nigeria) by 2030. Mammography...

Health behavioural theories and their application to women’s participation in mammography screening : a narrative review (2017)
Journal Article
narrative review. Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, 48(2), 122-127. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmir.2016.12.002

The most effective method of detecting breast cancer amongst asymptomatic women is by mammography screening. Although, most countries have this preventive measure in place for women within their society; most of these programmes still struggle with w...

Incidental findings are common in medical imaging. There is a particularly high prevalence of incidental findings within the thorax, the most frequent being pulmonary nodules. Whilst pulmonary nodules have the potential to be malignant, the vast m...
