From quantification of chemicals in the brain to diagnostic tools for prostate cancer

Sophie Shermer, Swansea University, 16/2/2022

Healthcare Technologies Research Group seminar at the School of Computer Science and Informatics, Cardiff University.

Abstract: I'll briefly discuss the potential for quantitative imaging and multi-parametric MRI including spectroscopy in general. Then, in part I, I will talk about some MR spectroscopy problems we have been working on, including algorithms for quantification. In part II, I'll talk about mp-MRI for early-stage prostate cancer detection and active surveillance, the pros and cons of different modalities, the importance of accurate delineations and training data and some of the things we are working on. Ultimately the talk focus on diagnosis of prostate cancer with magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy (MRI/S).
