Investigating the Contribution of Collagen to the Tumor Biomechanical Phenotype with Noninvasive Magnetic Resonance Elastography.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-11-15)
Increased stiffness in the extracellular matrix (ECM) contributes to tumor progression and metastasis. Therefore, stromal modulating therapies and accompanying biomarkers are being developed to target ECM stiffness. Magnetic ...
The Stacked-Ellipse Algorithm: An Ultrasound-Based 3-D Uterine Segmentation Tool for Enabling Adaptive Radiotherapy for Uterine Cervix Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-04-01)
The stacked-ellipse (SE) algorithm was developed to rapidly segment the uterus on 3-D ultrasound (US) for the purpose of enabling US-guided adaptive radiotherapy (RT) for uterine cervix cancer patients. The algorithm was ...
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 ...
High-frequency ultrasound 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 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are high-risk skin cancers with ...
Improving 3D ultrasound prostate localisation in radiotherapy through increased automation of interfraction matching.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2020-08-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Daily image guidance is standard care for prostate radiotherapy. Innovations which improve the accuracy and efficiency of ultrasound guidance are needed, particularly with respect to reducing ...
Therapeutic Dose Response of Acoustic Cluster Therapy in Combination With Irinotecan for the Treatment of Human Colon Cancer in Mice.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2019-11-19)
Introduction: Acoustic Cluster Therapy (ACT) comprises coadministration of a formulation containing microbubble-microdroplet clusters (PS101) together with a regular medicinal drug and local ultrasound (US) insonation of ...
Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy targeting EGFR-Shedding new light on glioblastoma treatment.
(WILEY, 2018-06-01)
Glioblastomas (GBMs) are high-grade brain tumors, differentially driven by alterations (amplification, deletion or missense mutations) in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), that carry a poor prognosis of just ...
Further characterization of changes in axial strain elastograms due to the presence of slippery tumor boundaries.
(SPIE-SOC PHOTO-OPTICAL INSTRUMENTATION ENGINEERS, 2018-04-01)
Elastography measures tissue strain, which can be interpreted under certain simplifying assumptions to be representative of the underlying stiffness distribution. This is useful in cancer diagnosis where tumors tend to ...
CdTe Based Energy Resolving, X-ray Photon Counting Detector Performance Assessment: The Effects of Charge Sharing Correction Algorithm Choice.
(MDPI, 2020-10-27)
Most modern energy resolving, photon counting detectors employ small (sub 1 mm) pixels for high spatial resolution and low per pixel count rate requirements. These small pixels can suffer from a range of charge sharing ...
The Effects of Spectral X-Ray Photon Counting Detector Parameters on Detector Performance: Thickness and Pitch
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2020-01-01)
