Optimization of Dose and Image Quality in Full Field and Computed Radiography Systems for Common Digital Radiographic Examinations
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Optimization facilitates image quality and radiation dose by minimizing stochastic and deterministic effects. This study was to obtain images of acceptable quality with no harmful effects for common radiographic examinations in digital imaging. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in three phases. The pre-optimization phase

A Phantom Study for the Optimization of Image Quality and Radiation Dose for Common Radiographic Examinations in Digital Radiography
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: Phantom studies facilitate the implementation of radiation dose surveillance as a function of radiographic technical parameters for minimizing patient radiation dose. The evidence of such investigations can then be used to evaluate technical parameters used in the radiographic procedures to reduce radiation dose without compromising t

Image Quality and Entrance Surface Dose Evaluation for Lateral Cervical Spine: a Study Using Grid and non-Grid Techniques
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to ascertain the effect of a moving grid, stationary grid and non-grid in the lateral cervical spine radiography on image quality and entrance surface dose (ESD). Image quality and radiation doses have been studied by various authors, but there is limited amount of information available on image quality an

Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Among Adolescents in Kuantan and its Association with Religiosity- a Pilot Study
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Adolescence is a period of time when the development of personality and psychology is taking place. Studies have shown that religiosity can affect the mental health of a person. Many tools have been developed to assess religiosity of a person; one of them is the Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith (SCSORF) scale. In this study, a translation an

Optimization of Dose and Image Quality in Cr and Dr for Common Digital Radiographic Examinations
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Radiological examinations known to have associated risk of induced malignancy and deterministic effects if over the threshold dose. Patient radiation doses should be kept as low as reasonably achievable.Ideal balance between image quality and patient radiation dose by optimization to minimize stochastic risks and prevention of deterministic effects

Is There a j-Curve Between Malaysia and Her Trading Partners? Evidence from Ardl Test and Industry Level Data
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The J-curve of a trade balance is a phenomenon whereby a trade balance initially worsens following a currency depreciation and improves afterwards. Many scholars examined the relationship between depreciation of a currency and the trade balance of that country. Most prior works employed aggregation of data, leading to mixed results due to inherent

Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (Rater Form 5x-Short Form)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

A preliminary pre-test questionnaire was developed based on the review of related literature on the theoretical constructs and the underlying factors. The preliminary pre-test questionnaire was tested on a sample of 30 respondents. Items that did not perform statistically were either refined or removed to improve the measurement scale before being

parent-Implemented Language Intervention for Late Talkers: a Scoping Review
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Parent-implemented language intervention (PILI) is one of the intervention approaches used in managing late talkers (LTs). Yet, there are few evidence-based PILI programs available for parents of LTs. This scoping review aimed to (a) assess the characteristics of participants depicted in the literature related to PILI programs for parents of LTs, (

Public Opinion Polls in Malaysia: Challenges and Opportunities in the post-Pandemic Era
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

This chapter discusses the development of public opinion polls in Malaysia, especially those related to politics and elections in the state. It traces the early attempts at public opinion polls and their relatively recent development in estimating electoral outcomes in Malaysia. In analysing the efforts, the chapter relates the conduct of opinion p

Defining the Causes of Sporadic Parkinson’s Disease in the Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program (Gp2)
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program (GP2) will genotype over 150,000 participants from around the world, and integrate genetic and clinical data for use in large-scale analyses to dramatically expand our understanding of the genetic architecture of PD. This report details the workflow for cohort integration into the complex arm of GP2, and to
