Development of a phantom to test fully automated breast density software – a work in progress (2016)
Journal Article

Objectives: Mammographic density (MD) is an independent risk factor for breast cancer and may have a future role for stratified screening. Automated software can estimate MD but the relationship between breast thickness reduction and MD is not fully...

The role of 18F-sodium fluoride PET/CT bone scans in the diagnosis of metastatic bone disease from breast and prostate cancer (2016)
Journal Article
Kulshrestha, R., England, A., Nightingale, J., Vinjamuri, R., & Hogg, P. (2016). The role of 18F-sodium fluoride PET/CT bone scans in the diagnosis of metastatic bone disease from breast and prostate cancer. Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, 44(4), 217-222. https://doi.org/10.2967/jnmt.116.176859

This article shall describe the role of 18F-Sodium Fluoride (18F-NaF) PET/CT bone scanning in the staging of breast and prostate cancer. 18F-NaF PET was initially utilised as a bone scanning agent in the 1960s and early 1970s, however its usage was r...

A method to determine the impact of reduced visual function on nodule detection performance (2016)
Journal Article

Purpose: In this study we aim to validate a method to assess the impact of reduced visual function and observer performance concurrently with a nodule detection task.

Materials and methods: Three consultant radiologists completed a nodule detectio... Read More about A method to determine the impact of reduced visual function on nodule detection performance.

Effective dose and effective risk from post-SPECT imaging of the lumbar spine (2016)
Journal Article

Purpose
Planar bone scans play an important role in the staging and monitoring of malignancy and metastases. Metastases in the lumbar spine are associated with significant morbidity, therefore accurate diagnosis is essential. Supplementary imaging...

The impact of greyscale inversion for nodule detection in an anthropomorphic chest phantom: a free-response observer study (2016)
Journal Article

Objective: The aim of this work was to assess the impact of greyscale inversion on nodule detection on poster- oanterior chest X-ray images. Previous work has attemp- ted this, with no consensus opinion formed. We assessed the value of “fast-flicking...

Impact of errors in recorded compressed breast thickness measurements on volumetric density classification using volpara v1.5.0 software (2016)
Journal Article

Purpose: Mammographic density has been demonstrated to predict breast cancer risk. It has been proposed that it could be used for stratifying screening pathways and recommending additional imaging. Volumetric density tools use the recorded compressed...

Operator eye doses during computed tomography fluoroscopic lung biopsy (2016)
Journal Article

The aim of this work was to examine the peak entrance surface air kerma
(peak ESAK) to the eyes during CT fluoroscopy lung biopsy, and the impact
of lead glasses, exposure parameters, head rotation, and height on peak ESAK
to the eyes.
Two phanto... Read More about Operator eye doses during computed tomography fluoroscopic lung biopsy.

A review of incidental findings on low-resolution CT images during SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging : a clinical dilemma (2016)
Journal Article

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... Read More about A review of incidental findings on low-resolution CT images during SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging : a clinical dilemma.

Development and validation of a visual grading scale for assessing image quality of AP pelvis radiographic images (2016)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVE: Apply psychometric theory to develop and validate a visual grading scale for assessing visual perception of AP pelvis digital image quality.
METHODS: Psychometric theory was used to guide scale development. Seven phantom and 7 cadaver i... Read More about Development and validation of a visual grading scale for assessing image quality of AP pelvis radiographic images.

Effect of reconstruction methods and x-ray tube current-time product on nodule detection in an anthropomorphic thorax phantom : a crossed-modality JAFROC observer study (2016)
