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 ...
MRI-guided prostate adaptive radiotherapy - A systematic review.
(2016-06)
Dose escalated radiotherapy improves outcomes for men with prostate cancer. A plateau for benefit from dose escalation using EBRT may not have been reached for some patients with higher risk disease. The use of increasingly ...
4D-MRI for thoracic radiotherapy treatment planning and guidance on an MR-linac
Lung cancer currently has a poor prognosis in England and Wales with only 10% of adults surviving five years or more after diagnosis. The poor survival rate demonstrates the need to improve contemporary treatment approaches ...
Efficient Online 4D Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(IEEE COMPUTER SOC, 2021-01-01)
A comparison of the diagnostic value of MRI and 18 F-FDG-PET/CT in suspected spondylodiscitis.
(2017-02)
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing ...
Quantitative Brain MRI in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: In Vivo Assessment of the Cognitive and Structural Impact of Steroid Hormones.
(2018-04)
Context:Brain white matter hyperintensities are seen on routine clinical imaging in 46% of adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The extent and functional relevance of these abnormalities have not been studied ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided radiotherapy for prostate cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-11-30)
Radiotherapy to the prostate involves increasingly sophisticated delivery techniques and changing fractionation schedules. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided radiotherapy allows daily adaptive replanning and can improve ...
Three-dimensional dose verification of adaptive radiotherapy at an MR-linac
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-04-30)
The vision of accurate real-time image-guided radiotherapy (RT) has led to the development of MR-Linacs consisting of MRI scanners integrated within RT treatment units. The safe clinical operation of these devices requires ...
Monitoring tumour response to extracellular matrix modulation with multiparametric MRI
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-04-30)
Primary breast tumours are characterised by a dense extracellular matrix (ECM), with accumulation of collagen and hyaluronan (HA). This stromal dense phenotype is associated with tumour progression, metastasis and poor ...
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 ...
