Predicting synthetic lethal interactions using conserved patterns in protein interaction networks.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-04-17)
In response to a need for improved treatments, a number of promising novel targeted cancer therapies are being developed that exploit human synthetic lethal interactions. This is facilitating personalised medicine strategies ...
Introducing the concept of spiral microbeam radiation therapy (spiralMRT).
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2019-03-08)
MOTIVATION: With interlaced microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) a first kilovoltage radiotherapy (RT) concept combining spatially fractionated entrance beams and homogeneous dose distribution at the target exists. However, ...
Synthetic 4D-CT of the thorax for treatment plan adaptation on MR-guided radiotherapy systems.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2019-05-23)
MR-guided radiotherapy treatment planning utilises the high soft-tissue contrast of MRI to reduce uncertainty in delineation of the target and organs at risk. Replacing 4D-CT with MRI-derived synthetic 4D-CT would support ...
In-vivo EPID dosimetry for IMRT and VMAT based on through-air predicted portal dose algorithm.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-08-01)
We have adapted the methodology of Berry et al. (2012) for Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) treatments at a fixed source to imager distance (SID) based on the manufacturer's ...
Plane wave versus focused transmissions for contrast enhanced ultrasound imaging: the role of parameter settings and the effects of flow rate on contrast measurements.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2019-04-23)
Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and dynamic contrast enhanced ultrasound (DCE-US) can be used to provide information about the vasculature aiding diagnosis and monitoring of a number of pathologies including cancer. ...
Computer-assisted diagnosis techniques (dermoscopy and spectroscopy-based) for diagnosing skin cancer in adults.
(WILEY, 2018-12-04)
BACKGROUND: Early accurate detection of all skin cancer types is essential to guide appropriate management and to improve morbidity and survival. Melanoma and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) are high-risk skin ...
Data-driven mapping of hypoxia-related tumor heterogeneity using DCE-MRI and OE-MRI.
(WILEY, 2018-04-01)
PURPOSE: Previous work has shown that combining dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI and oxygen-enhanced (OE)-MRI binary enhancement maps can identify tumor hypoxia. The current work proposes a novel, data-driven method for ...
Rethinking the role of clinical imaging.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2017-09-06)
Radiomics has the potential to improve the management of cancer patients, but further research is required before it can be adopted into routine clinical practice.
A Machine Learning Platform to Optimize the Translation of Personalized Network Models to the Clinic.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2019-04-17)
PURPOSE: Dynamic network models predict clinical prognosis and inform therapeutic intervention by elucidating disease-driven aberrations at the systems level. However, the personalization of model predictions requires the ...
A novel amplitude binning strategy to handle irregular breathing during 4DMRI acquisition: improved imaging for radiotherapy purposes.
(BMC, 2019-05-14)
BACKGROUND: For radiotherapy of abdominal cancer, four-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (4DMRI) is desirable for tumor definition and the assessment of tumor and organ motion. However, irregular breathing gives rise ...
