Palliative external beam radiotherapy plays an important role in the palliation of symptoms such as pain and bleeding caused by incurable cancers. Despite this, approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of patients do not receive symptom relief and for the ones that do respond, symptoms can return requiring further treatment …… Read Read more…
MRI and John Mallard: The Complete 8 Chapters Despite how significant the R&D that John Mallard’s 1980 Aberdeen University physics and engineering group achieved in building the first clinical total-body MRI machine, international professional recognition was not received with any substance at that time. It took another 36 years after Read more…
Matching bone, muscle and lung densities In Part 3/3, Dr Rance Tino, explores two 3D printing techniques utilised at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Physical Sciences Department. The techniques print object’s achievable as Hounsfield Units (HU) that emulate lung and bone densities for Computed Tomography (CT) imaging studies. Rance Brennan Read more…
The 2003 Nobel Prize was very controversial and there were many wild claims, counter claims and questions asked as to why scientists with significant direct patient related MRI achievements (such as the MRI whole-body diagnostic imaging tool for cancer patients) were not considered. Like many, I wondered why wasn’t Professor Read more…
