Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted imaging agents are a relatively new family of radiotracers used for imaging prostate cancer patients with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for diagnostics, therapy selection and response assessment and a major growth area in clinical practice. Whilst PSMA PET/CT offers high sensitivity in detecting meta...

External Beam Radiotherapy (RT) is a cornerstone of modern cancer treatment and is offered to 50% of cancer patients in the UK. RT planning involves manually outlining the target to be irradiated and healthy tissues and organs to be avoided on medical images of the patient (such as CT scans). This planning is time-consuming and skill-intensive, and there ...

"External Beam Radiotherapy (RT) is a cornerstone of modern cancer treatment, utilized on its own or in combination with surgery and/or chemotherapy. During RT, high energy radiation, generated within a linear accelerator, is directed at a tumour, thereby destroying it, but also inevitably irradiating nearby healthy tissue. It is therefore necessary to ca...

"For approximately 50% patients diagnosed with cancer, radiotherapy can be offered as a treatment instead of (or sometimes in combination with) surgery or chemotherapy. Radiotherapy directs beams of radiation to specific regions of the body to kill the cancer cells. Contouring is a critical part of radiotherapy treatment planning which defines where the r...

"The London Medical Imaging & Artificial Intelligence Centre for Value-Based Healthcare will improve NHS patient care and health outcomes, reduce healthcare costs and support the growth of companies, supporting the economy. It will do this by applying artificial intelligence technologies to medical imaging (for example MRI scans, CT scans PET scans and ul...

"Molecular radiotherapy (MRT) is a treatment modality for cancer. It involves the administration of radioactive atoms with the aim of locally irradiating tumours. Dosimetry is concerned with the measurement of the absorbed radiation dose to each disease site. Many of the treatments in MRT are currently prescribed empirically or with a fixed quantity of ra...

"We have formed a consortium of collaborating hospitals and commercial companies with public and patient involvement and input from charities to enable us to work with the public and the NHS to best develop and test the use of Artificial Intelligence programmes to improve health care. We are working with university academics and NHS hospitals across the c...

"Radiotherapy is a key method for treating cancer in which high energy radiation is directed at a tumour to destroy it by disrupting DNA replication. However, it is inevitable that surrounding healthy tissue is also irradiated during the process. It is therefore necessary to plan any therapy so as to maximise the tumour's received dose while minimising th...

Various methods of imaging are used within medicine to provide different information for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Image Registration is a valuable tool that establishes an alignment of images to one another and, as a result, permits meaningful comparison and visualisation of multiple images. For example, a patient’s response to tre...
