UCL Centre for Advanced Biomedical Imaging

The Cancer Imaging Group aims to develop novel, non-invasive imaging techniques for the detection and characterisation of malignant growth and for assessing response to therapy. 

By developing innovative techniques that can be used to evaluate fundamental properties of the tumour microenvironment, we hope ultimately to enhance the standard of care available to cancer patients by providing robust, accurate and reliable technologies. 

Our main research areas include:

• ConvectionMRI
• Glucose uptake and metabolism (glucoseCEST)
• Diffusion MRI
• Tumour perfusion (arterial spin labelling)
• Proteostasis (amide proton transfer CEST)
• Multi-modal imaging
• Transient hypoxia
• Vascular network analysis
• Bayesian analysis
