MRI-compatibility enhancements to USM performance for interventional devices in MR environments
The safe performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided robot-assisted interventions requires full control and high precision of assistive devices and tools. Because many currently available tools are not MRI-compatible, the characterization of existing tools and development of new ones are …

Radiation dose optimization in interventional radiology and cardiology using diagnostic reference levels
… (DRL) could be used in fluoroscopically guided interventional procedures to avoid unnecessary stochastic radiation risk. The increase in complexity of interventional procedures, combined with a lack of specialist training on radiation techniques, poses a significant risk to patients. These risks …

The metabolic and environmental determinants of obesity in childhood: observational and interventional studies
The prevalence of obesity in childhood and adolescence is increasing and is often accompanied by poor physical and psychological health. Cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension and impaired glucose tolerance are prevalent in up to 30% of obese children whilst psychological impairments such …
