In vitro characterisation of ultrasound-induced heating effects in the mother and fetus: A clinical perspective.
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2020-09-14)INTRODUCTION: The quantification of heating effects during exposure to ultrasound is usually based on laboratory experiments in water and is assessed using extrapolated parameters such as the thermal index. In our study, ... -
In Vivo Characterization of 4 68Ga-Labeled Multimeric RGD Peptides to Image αvβ3 Integrin Expression in 2 Human Tumor Xenograft Mouse Models.
(2018-08)αvβ3 integrins play an important role in angiogenesis and cell migration in cancer and are highly expressed on the activated endothelial cells of newly formed blood vessels. Here, we compare the targeting characteristics ... -
In Vivo Modeling of Chemoresistant Neuroblastoma Provides New Insights into Chemorefractory Disease and Metastasis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-10-15)Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer that is frequently metastatic and resistant to conventional treatment. In part, a lack of natively metastatic, chemoresistant in vivo models has limited our insight into the development ... -
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 ... -
Inclusion of a Charge Sharing Correction Algorithm Into an X-Ray Photon Counting Spectral Detector Simulation Framework
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2021-07-01) -
Incorporating radiomics into clinical trials: expert consensus endorsed by the European Society of Radiology on considerations for data-driven compared to biologically driven quantitative biomarkers.
(SPRINGER, 2021-01-25)Existing quantitative imaging biomarkers (QIBs) are associated with known biological tissue characteristics and follow a well-understood path of technical, biological and clinical validation before incorporation into ... -
Incorporating spatial dose metrics in machine learning-based normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models of severe acute dysphagia resulting from head and neck radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2018-01-01)Severe acute dysphagia commonly results from head and neck radiotherapy (RT). A model enabling prediction of severity of acute dysphagia for individual patients could guide clinical decision-making. Statistical associations ... -
Increased Dose to Organs in Urinary Tract Associates With Measures of Genitourinary Toxicity in Pooled Voxel-Based Analysis of 3 Randomized Phase III Trials.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2020-07-22)Purpose: Dose information from organ sub-regions has been shown to be more predictive of genitourinary toxicity than whole organ dose volume histogram information. This study aimed to identify anatomically-localized regions ... -
Independent component analysis (ICA) applied to dynamic oxygen-enhanced MRI (OE-MRI) for robust functional lung imaging at 3 T.
(WILEY, 2024-03-01)PURPOSE: Dynamic lung oxygen-enhanced MRI (OE-MRI) is challenging due to the presence of confounding signals and poor signal-to-noise ratio, particularly at 3 T. We have created a robust pipeline utilizing independent ... -
Indisulam targets RNA splicing and metabolism to serve as a therapeutic strategy for high-risk neuroblastoma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-03-16)Neuroblastoma is the most common paediatric solid tumour and prognosis remains poor for high-risk cases despite the use of multimodal treatment. Analysis of public drug sensitivity data showed neuroblastoma lines to be ... -
Individualising radiation therapy decisions in breast cancer patients based on tumour infiltrating lymphocytes and genomic biomarkers.
(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2023-10-01)Radiation therapy (RT) has long been fundamental for the curative treatment of breast cancer. While substantial progress has been made in the anatomical and technological precision of RT delivery, and some approaches to ... -
Individualized 131I-mIBG therapy in the management of refractory and relapsed neuroblastoma.
(SPRINGER, 2013-10-01)OBJECTIVE: Iodine-131-labelled meta-iodobenzylguanidine (I-mIBG) therapy is an established treatment modality for relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma, most frequently administered according to fixed or weight-based criteria. ... -
Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Chemo-intensity-modulated Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2016-08-01)AIMS: To determine the toxicity and tumour control rates after chemo-intensity-modulated radiotherapy (chemo-IMRT) for locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancers (LA-NPC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with LA-NPC were ... -
Infant High-Grade Gliomas Comprise Multiple Subgroups Characterized by Novel Targetable Gene Fusions and Favorable Outcomes.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-07-01)Infant high-grade gliomas appear clinically distinct from their counterparts in older children, indicating that histopathologic grading may not accurately reflect the biology of these tumors. We have collected 241 cases ... -
Inflammatory microenvironment remodelling by tumour cells after radiotherapy.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-04-01)The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is revolutionizing the way we think about cancer treatment. Even so, for most types of cancer, only a minority of patients currently benefit from ICI therapies. Intrinsic ... -
Influence of Confounding Factors on Radiation Dose Estimation Using In Vivo Validated Transcriptional Biomarkers.
