Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DW-MRI) of the normal bone marrow in children and effects of local and systemic cancer therapies
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)
Bone marrow, one of the largest organs in the body, is a highly proliferative tissue because of its dynamic function in providing the cellular elements of blood. In a paediatric population, the proportion of red marrow ...
Computational science-enabled radiological pathology for the non-invasive mapping of tumour heterogeneity in childhood neuroblastoma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)
Neuroblastoma is a common childhood solid tumour that accounts for 15% of all cancer paediatric deaths. This thesis addresses key deficiencies in our ability to define, monitor and predict neuroblastoma heterogeneity for ...
Quantitative assessment of patient suitability for magnetic resonance-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Therapy
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)
Clinical assessment of a patient's suitability for magnetic resonance-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) therapy currently involves subjective judgements based on available diagnostic images and prior ...
Reference dosimetry of MRI-guided radiotherapy machines
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
A cutting-edge cancer treatment modality, that integrates MRI guidance and delivery of radiotherapy (MRIgRT), sets a new standard for personalised radiotherapy. There are, however, aspects around the accurate determination ...
Advanced magnetic resonance imaging in lung mesothelioma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-07-31)
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has a rind-like growth pattern and may have both solid disease and pleural fluid, so it is very challenging to accurately categorize change in tumour burden using size-based tumour ...
