The primary treatment for breast cancer is surgery, which does not achieve complete removal of all the tumour in 25% of patients who therefore require a further operation. This is then often followed by chemotherapy, radiotherapy and endocrine treatment. The aim of...

It has been estimated that more than 10 million deaths per year will occur by 2050 due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel infection-specific imaging techniques that can be translated into clinical practice as early...

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...

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...

Aim: To develop a tool that identifies critical abnormalities on MRIbrain scans using deep learning. A clinically validated tool that identifies brain tumours during brain CT or MRI scans does not exist. Immediate identification of a brain tumour potentially allows...

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...

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...

Parallel-transmit (pTx) ultra-high field MRI using multiple radiofrequency (RF) transmitters demonstrates impressive advantages for high-resolution anatomic and functional imaging of the human body. By adjusting the RF phases and amplitude of individual transmitters...

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...

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...

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...
