Combination therapy studies with the vascular disruptive agent combretastatin-a4-phosphate (CA4P)
… evaluated heterogeneity of blood flow related dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) parameters between different patients and in lesions within patients on the A5B7 study. Increases in CO (mean +14%, p=0.026) occurred after CA4P whilst falls in tumour Ktrans values were seen (mean -25.1%; …

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Breast Cancer
… examines the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in the detection of breast cancer and the prediction of pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). This thesis compares the diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) models in the breast …

Mechanisms of vascular cognitive impairment in cerebral small vessel disease and stroke
… focusses on two longitudinal studies, the ‘PET-MRI-SVD’ and ‘Rates, risks and routes to reduce vascular dementia’ (R4VaD), which involved a CSVD (n = 77) and stroke (n = 201) cohort respectively. Multimodal neuroimaging data were acquired in both studies, including structural magnetic resonance …

Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI and Diffusion-Weighted MRI for the Diagnosis of Bladder Cancer
… study is aimed at evaluating the abilities of 3T dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) to improve the detection and staging and to enable the prediction of chemotherapeutic response in bladder cancer. A total of fifty-three patients were enrolled in the study. …

The analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging data: treatment effects, sampling rates and repeatability
This dissertation describes the analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) data, primarily by means of pharmacokinetic models, in order to yield parameters which reflect the physiological properties of tumours. Historically, these analysis procedures have been …

Towards image registration of dynamic contrast enhanced MRI using deep learning
Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MRI is a quantitative imaging technique used to monitor microvascular perfusion. It involves rapidly acquiring multiple T1-weighted images over a few minutes whilst injecting a contrast agent, which causes a rapid increase in image intensity. Each type of tissue …
