Research Highlights
Using tractography of the white matter (see above) and myelination of the cortex (see below) to understand how brain dysconnectivity arises in the early stages of psychotic disorders.
A study into deep brain stimulation – the site of stimulation moderates neuropsychiatric symptoms and post-operative outcomes.
Prostate cancer – better detection and treatment with PMSA radiotracers.
Developing safe follow-up for children with cystic fibrosis.
Researching unique radioisotopes – can they provide better detection of brain metastases with PET/MR?
Following the aging brain longitudinally, with multimodality imaging, genetics, lifestyle variables and neuropsychology, to try and determine the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Prospective Imaging of Aging (PISA).
Avoiding peripheral blindness with better pre-surgical mapping.
Predicting and promoting Aphasia Recovery (PAPAR) Trial – a randomised controlled trial of aphasia treatment using neuroimaging based predictors.
Research into improving the quality of life and outcomes for adult and paediatric tumour populations.
Using MRI to improve automated segmentation of the knee in ultrasound, for real-time guided robotic surgery.
