Recent radiation studies with ultra-high dose rates, UHDR, (\>40 Gy/s), known as FLASH radiotherapy (RT), have demonstrated a remarkable reduction in normal tissue toxicity (known as the "FLASH effect") with respect to conventional dose-rate radiotherapy (few Gy/min) while maintaining similar tumour response. This could represent a step-change in cancer t...

The bulk of radiation studies are carried out by isotopic sources (Co60/Cs137), due to their ability to provide a high irradiation rate. However, such sources have become subject to tightening restrictions due to increasing fears surrounding the health and safety (dangerous to human health), security (stolen samples have the potential to be used as weapon...

The implementation of standardized and traceable dosimetry procedures for preclinical radiation studies supported by an innovative multipurpose small animal phantom funded by Innovate UK to the tune of £450,000 aims to significantly improve the quality and impact of radiobiological studies whilst reducing the number of animals sacrificed. The collaboratio...

The project aims to address the recognised need for greater accuracy in Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB), the standard procedure for evaluating & diagnosing a range of cancers - notably breast cancer & melanoma, through the development & clinical testing of a unique Compact Gamma Camera (CGC). The device will not only improve SLNB accuracy (to ~99.5%) bu...

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) is a minimally invasive surgical technique which determines the likelihood of cancer spreading from a primary tumour & becoming metastatic throughout the lymphatic system. It is the most common procedure for evaluating & diagnosing breast cancer & melanoma which have both experienced a significant rise in incidence global...

Since Roentgen’s discovery in 1895, X-rays have been used for diagnosis and treatment. Today, approximately 50% of all the cancer patients undergo some form of radiotherapy. The use of radiotherapy is particularly effective for the treatment of skin cancer, the prevalence of which has increased dramatically over the past decade, with one in every three ca...
