I am the Research Lead for Bone Densitometry for the Mellanby Centre for Bone Research, Academic Unit of Bone Metabolism, Department of Oncology and Metabolism, The University of Sheffield, UK.
I completed my undergraduate studies at Sheffield Hallam University, UK and attained a BSc Honours degree in Biomedical Technology. In 1998, I received my PhD in Exercise Physiology from Sheffield Hallam University.
In 1996, I joined the Department of Human Metabolism and Clinical Biochemistry, The University of Sheffield to work as a DXA Scanning Technician and Research Associate. I now hold the position of Research Fellow.
I am responsible for the provision of the Academic Unit of Bone Metabolism’s bone densitometry service to internal and external organisations and investigators.
I have considerable expertise in a wide variety of bone densitometry and image analysis techniques. I am the Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) for the bone imaging work conducted at the NIHR Clinical Research Facility at the Northern General Hospital, Sheffield.
I have published over 20 articles in peer-reviewed journals and present my work at national and international conferences.
- Research interests
-
My current research interests include the evaluation and application of high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography, the study of bone microstructural properties and strength and the evaluation of treatment effects using bone densitometry techniques.
I have considerable expertise in the field of vertebral fracture identification. Of particular interest currently is the development of a computer-assisted diagnostic tool to automate the reading of spine images, using the algorithm-based qualitative (ABQ) method, to provide an accurate and reliable means of identifying vertebral fractures.
