A novel method for comparing radiation dose and image quality, between and within different X-ray units in a series of hospitals (2018)
Journal Article

Objectives: To develop a novel method for comparing radiation dose and image quality (IQ) to evaluate adult chest X-ray (CXR) imaging among several hospitals.
Methods: CDRAD 2.0 phantom was used to acquire images in eight hospitals (17 digital X-r... Read More about A novel method for comparing radiation dose and image quality, between and within different X-ray units in a series of hospitals.

Construction and validation of a low cost paediatric pelvis phantom (2018)
Journal Article
Ali, M., Hogg, P., Johansen, S., & England, A. (2018). Construction and validation of a low cost paediatric pelvis phantom. European Journal of Radiology, 108, 84-91. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejrad.2018.09.015

PURPOSE: Imaging phantoms can be cost prohibitive, therefore a need exists to produce low cost alternatives which are fit for purpose. This paper describes the development and validation of a low cost paediatric pelvis phantom based on the anatomy o...

Calculating individual lifetime effective risk from initial mean glandular dose arising from the first screening mammogram (2018)
Journal Article

Objectives: To use the initial mean glandular dose (MGD) arising from the first screening mammogram to estimate the individual total screening lifetime effective risk.
Methods: Organ doses from FFDM screening exposures (craniocaudal and mediolatera... Read More about Calculating individual lifetime effective risk from initial mean glandular dose arising from the first screening mammogram.

An investigation into the validity of utilising the CDRAD 2.0 phantom for optimisation studies in digital radiography (2018)
Journal Article

Objectives: To determine if a relationship exists between low contrast detail (LCD) detectability using the CDRAD 2.0 phantom, visual measures of image quality (IQ) and simulated lesion visibility (LV) when performing digital chest radiography (CXR).... Read More about An investigation into the validity of utilising the CDRAD 2.0 phantom for optimisation studies in digital radiography.

Optimum positioning for AP pelvis radiography : a literature review (2018)
Journal Article
Alzyoud, K., Hogg, P., Snaith, B., Flintham, K., & England, A. (2018). Optimum positioning for AP pelvis radiography : a literature review. Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, 49(3), 316-324. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmir.2018.04.025

Aim

Pelvic radiography is used for the identification of hip joint changes, including pathologies such as osteoarthritis. Several studies have recommended that the position for this radiological procedure should be standing, not supine, to reflec...

Are antimony-bismuth aprons as efficient as lead rubber aprons in providing shielding against scattered radiation (2018)
Journal Article

Aim: To compare the absorption ability of two lead-free aprons with a lead apron.
Method: Measure and compare the absorption ability of 3 aprons; OpaqFu bilayer apron containing bismuth and antimony, NoLead one layer apron containing antimony, and...

Malignant breast masses-conspicuity analysis in motionsimulated mammograms (2018)
Presentation / Conference
mammograms. Poster presented at The 2018 European Congress of Radiology (ECR), Vienna

The conspicuity of a mass represents a ratio between the contrast of a mass and its surrounding complexity. Measuring the conspicuity of lesions attempts to characterise the visibility of a lesion in terms of the imaging systems diagnostic capabiliti...

The impact of hoist sling materials on interface pressure whilst sitting in healthy volunteers and wheelchair users : a comparative study (2017)
Journal Article

Aim of the study
To evaluate the effect of three sling fabrics on gluteal interface pressure whilst sitting in a population of wheelchair users and to compare these to data previously collected in a pilot study with a healthy population.
Material... Read More about The impact of hoist sling materials on interface pressure whilst sitting in healthy volunteers and wheelchair users : a comparative study.

Intercountry analysis of breast density classification using visual grading (2017)
Journal Article
Damases, C., Hogg, P., & McEntee, M. (2017). Intercountry analysis of breast density classification using visual grading. British Journal of Radiology, 90(1076), 20170064. https://doi.org/10.1259/bjr.20170064

OBJECTIVE: Disagreement in mammographic breast density (MBD) assessment can impact breast cancer risk stratification, choices of further breast cancer screening intervals and pathways. This study examines whether intercountry MBD expectations and ass... Read More about Intercountry analysis of breast density classification using visual grading.
