Pretreatment prognostic value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging vascular, texture, shape, and size parameters compared with traditional survival indicators obtained from locally advanced breast cancer patients (2016)
Journal Article
Pickles, M. D., Lowry, M., & Gibbs, P. (2016). Pretreatment prognostic value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging vascular, texture, shape, and size parameters compared with traditional survival indicators obtained from locally advanced breast cancer patients. Investigative radiology, 51(3), 177-185. https://doi.org/10.1097/RLI.0000000000000222

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine if associations exist between pretreatment dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based metrics (vascular kinetics, texture, shape, size) and survival intervals. Furthermore...

Purpose To report the feasibility, accuracy and initial clinical experience of the use of real-time magnetic resonance navigated ultrasound (rtMRnUS) in the surgical planning of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) via guide wire insertion. Materials and... Read More about Registration of supine MR mammography with breast ultrasound for surgical planning of breast conserving surgery: a feasibility study.

Minkowski functionals: An MRI texture analysis tool for determination of the aggressiveness of breast cancer (2015)
Journal Article
Fox, M. J., Gibbs, P., & Pickles, M. D. (2016). Minkowski functionals: An MRI texture analysis tool for determination of the aggressiveness of breast cancer. Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI, 43(4), 903-910. https://doi.org/10.1002/jmri.25057

Purpose: This work aims to see whether Minkowski Functionals can be used to distinguish between cancer types before chemotherapy treatment has begun, and whether a response to treatment can be predicted by an initial scan alone. Methods: Fat-nulled T... Read More about Minkowski functionals: An MRI texture analysis tool for determination of the aggressiveness of breast cancer.

Journal Article
Burke, B. P., Baghdadi, N., Kownacka, A. E., Nigam, S., Clemente, G. S., Al-Yassiry, M. M., …Archibald, S. J. (2015). Chelator free gallium-68 radiolabelling of silica coated iron oxide nanorods via surface interactions. Nanoscale, 7(36), 14889-14896. https://doi.org/10.1039/c5nr02753e

The commercial availability of combined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/positron emission tomography (PET) scanners for clinical use has increased demand for easily prepared agents which offer signal or contrast in both modalities. Herein we describ... Read More about Chelator free gallium-68 radiolabelling of silica coated iron oxide nanorods via surface interactions.

Prognostic value of pre-treatment DCE-MRI parameters in predicting disease free and overall survival for breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (2008)
Journal Article
Pickles, M. D., Manton, D. J., Lowry, M., & Turnbull, L. W. (2009). Prognostic value of pre-treatment DCE-MRI parameters in predicting disease free and overall survival for breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. European Journal of Radiology, 71(3), (498-505). doi:10.1016/j.ejrad.2008.05.007. ISSN 0720-048X

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) data, both pharmacokinetic and empirical, can predict, prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which patients are likely to have a shorter disease free survival (...
