MPhil by research Imaging

The first area is mammography. This is used for screening and symptomatic purposes in the detection of breast cancer. Above the age of 47 all women are invited for a 3-yearly screening mammogram; men and women who are symptomatic tend to be referred for a mammogram as it is a primary diagnostic tool. Whilst our research has a particular emphasis on the optimisation of compression force that is applied during the imaging process we also consider related issues too. To date we have discovered several novel facts about the application of compression force.
