Multimodal Imaging of Inflammation at the Neurovascular Interface in Cerebrovascular Disease
… using PET, influences both chronic small vessel disease and the evolution of lesion volume in the post-stroke period. Using metabolic imaging we can both identify vulnerable atheroma in vivo and demonstrate how these processes affect infarct evolution. We show that whilst inflammation is a …

Genetic, clinical and population priors for brain images
… study of ischemic stroke, which aims to quantify cerebrovascular disease burden as observed in medical scans, along with its population trends and genetic predisposition. In most analyses, anatomical information is extracted from images to provide insight into a problem, facilitating understanding …
