Objective: Breast compression decreases radiation dose and reduces potential for motion and geometric unsharpness, yet there is variability in applied compression force within and between some centres. This article explores the problem solving proces... Read More about Breast compression - an exploration of problem solving and decision making in mammography.

Purpose: to explore the value service-users can add to our understanding of inter-practitioner compression variability in mammography. Imaging of the breast for the screening and detection of breast carcinoma is generally carried out by mammographi...

A focussed ethnographic study of diagnostic radiographer problem solving in the trauma setting
Thesis
Newton-Hughes, A. (in press). A focussed ethnographic study of diagnostic radiographer problem solving in the trauma setting. (Thesis). University of Salford

Aim: when imaging patients for x-ray examinations Diagnostic Radiographers should position the patient so that bones, joints and soft tissues can be clearly visualised. In order to achieve this a widely accepted set of positioning criteria have been... Read More about A focussed ethnographic study of diagnostic radiographer problem solving in the trauma setting.
