Background: Several methods have been used to determine ECT dose based on formulae, protocols or fixed-dosing. This study aims to explore the relative utility of these ECT dosing methods.
Methods: A sample of ECT patients from Aberdeen was analysed.
Rationale And Objectives: Current wire localization compression paddles provide a limited access window with no compression in this window. We describe a new compression paddle that addresses these issues and report on preliminary patient testing.
Materials And Methods: Four mechanical engineering students collaborated with a medical physicist, a radiographer, and two radiologists.
Purpose: To determine the frequency of breast carcinoma and ascertain the diagnostic yield of mammography and breast ultrasonography (US) in the detection of breast carcinoma in women with palpable breast thickening.
Materials And Methods: One hundred twenty-three consecutive cases of breast thickening (103 patients) during a 1-year period were reviewed. Experienced breast examiners prospectively identified patients with breast thickening.
