A computerized volumetric segmentation method applicable to multi-centre MRI data to support computer-aided breast tissue analysis, density assessment and lesion localization.
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2017-01-01)
Density assessment and lesion localization in breast MRI require accurate segmentation of breast tissues. A fast, computerized algorithm for volumetric breast segmentation, suitable for multi-centre data, has been developed, ...
Inter- and Intra-Observer Repeatability of Quantitative Whole-Body, Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (WBDWI) in Metastatic Bone Disease.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-04-28)
Quantitative whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI (WB-DWI) is now possible using semi-automatic segmentation techniques. The method enables whole-body estimates of global Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (gADC) and total Diffusion ...
A dosimetric comparison of real-time adaptive and non-adaptive radiotherapy: A multi-institutional study encompassing robotic, gimbaled, multileaf collimator and couch tracking.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-04-01)
PURPOSE: A study of real-time adaptive radiotherapy systems was performed to test the hypothesis that, across delivery systems and institutions, the dosimetric accuracy is improved with adaptive treatments over non-adaptive ...
Correlation between DNA damage responses of skin to a test dose of radiation and late adverse effects of earlier breast radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-05-15)
AIM: To correlate residual double strand breaks (DSB) 24h after 4Gy test doses to skin in vivo and to lymphocytes in vitro with adverse effects of earlier breast radiotherapy (RT). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients given whole ...
Multiparameter Lead Optimization to Give an Oral Checkpoint Kinase 1 (CHK1) Inhibitor Clinical Candidate: (R)-5-((4-((Morpholin-2-ylmethyl)amino)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)amino)pyrazine-2-carbonitrile (CCT245737).
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2016-06-09)
Multiparameter optimization of a series of 5-((4-aminopyridin-2-yl)amino)pyrazine-2-carbonitriles resulted in the identification of a potent and selective oral CHK1 preclinical development candidate with in vivo efficacy ...
Lung stereotactic body radiotherapy with an MR-linac - Quantifying the impact of the magnetic field and real-time tumor tracking.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-06-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There are concerns that radiotherapy doses delivered in a magnetic field might be distorted due to the Lorentz force deflecting secondary electrons. This study investigates this effect on lung ...
Targeting the Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptors with Immuno-PET: Imaging Biomarkers from Bench to Bedside.
(SOC NUCLEAR MEDICINE INC, 2016-07-01)
A genomic approach to therapeutic target validation identifies a glucose-lowering GLP1R variant protective for coronary heart disease.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2016-06-01)
Regulatory authorities have indicated that new drugs to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D) should not be associated with an unacceptable increase in cardiovascular risk. Human genetics may be able to guide development of antidiabetic ...
Clinical development of new drug-radiotherapy combinations.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-10-01)
In countries with the best cancer outcomes, approximately 60% of patients receive radiotherapy as part of their treatment, which is one of the most cost-effective cancer treatments. Notably, around 40% of cancer cures ...
Genome-wide association of familial prostate cancer cases identifies evidence for a rare segregating haplotype at 8q24.21.
(SPRINGER, 2016-08-01)
Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of prostate cancer risk focused on cases unselected for family history and have reported over 100 significant associations. The International Consortium for Prostate Cancer ...
