Background: The brain is inherently an electrically conductive organ, but standard imaging modalities are not well equipped to measure its electrical properties (EPs). This is particularly relevant for studying neurodevelopment – pre-clinical studies show that...

Scientific basis / background: Stablishing the causes (i.e. aetiology) of cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension is key for their effective and efficient management. We at KCL have generated initial promising evidence that the heart remodels its 3D anatomy in...

The project aims to develop an automated, machine learning (ML) enabled spontaneous venous pulsation (SVP) detection system, first for widely available optical coherence tomography (OCT) fundal videography, and second for videos acquired from hand-held retinal fundus...

Gestational hypertensive disorders, with preeclampsia (PE, incidence 4-7%) at their extreme end, are a leading cause of maternal death and a major cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. They also come with a lifelong increased risk for cardiovascular disease. The...

Mapping the structural connectivity of the human brain is one of the main goals of modern neuroscience. Diffusion MRI tractography is the only method that allows researchers probing white matter connections in-vivo, making it a unique tool for research and clinical...

Background & Motivation: Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (AC) is a prevalent form of structural heart disease which carries with a high risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias. Accurately identifying at risk patients for life-saving implanted...

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Disruptions of electrophysiological mechanisms in the heart lead to cardiac arrhythmias that affectblood supply to the vital organs, and also greatly increase risks of thrombus...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related death worldwide. The presence of malignant mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs) is important in determining disease stage and appropriate treatment. Non-invasive screening methods using CT and/or PET have low sensitivity...

Background: Coronary microvascular disease (cMVD) is a syndrome characterised by anginal chest pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath. More prevalent in women, it is caused by dysfunction of the smallest vessels in the heart, causing transient diffuse patchy...
