Delay time (DT) best estimated the infarct core (AUC = 0.74). The optimal core threshold was a DT >1.5 s. The voxel-based analyses indicated CTP was most accurate in the calcarine (Penumbra-AUC = 0.75, Core-AUC = 0.79) and cerebellar regions (Penumbra-AUC = 0.65, Core-AUC = 0.79). For the volume-based analyses, MTT >160% demonstrated best correlation and smallest mean-volume difference between the penumbral estimate and follow-up MRI (R2 = 0.71). MTT >170% resulted in the smallest mean-volume difference between the core estimate and follow-up MRI, but with poor correlation (R2 = 0.11). Conclusion: CTP has promising diagnostic utility in POCI. Accuracy of CTP varies by brain region. Optimal thresholds to define penumbra were DT >1 s and MTT >145%. The optimal threshold for core was a DT >1.5 s. However, CTP core volume estimates should be interpreted with caution.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 16:20:57 AEDT ]]> Positive intergroup contact modulates fusiform gyrus activity to black and white faces https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44865 Wed 26 Oct 2022 17:23:52 AEDT ]]> Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging assessment of lateral atlantoaxial joint meniscoid composition: a validation study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47741 Wed 25 Jan 2023 15:21:43 AEDT ]]> Predicting modafinil-treatment response in poststroke fatigue using brain morphometry and functional connectivity https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35721 Wed 24 May 2023 12:21:56 AEST ]]> Magnetic resonance spectroscopy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18399 Wed 24 Jun 2015 16:01:14 AEST ]]> Prediction of final infarct volume on subacute MRI by quantifying cerebral edema in ischemic stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31334 Wed 23 Feb 2022 16:02:54 AEDT ]]> Cerebellar grey-matter deficits, cannabis use and first-episode schizophrenia in adolescents and young adults https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19046 Wed 20 May 2020 07:09:22 AEST ]]> Role of Computed Tomography Perfusion in Identification of Acute Lacunar Stroke Syndromes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44396 Wed 12 Oct 2022 12:58:24 AEDT ]]> Persistence on therapy and propensity matched outcome comparison of two subcutaneous interferon Beta 1a dosages for multiple sclerosis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13691 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:01:07 AEST ]]> Minimising risk factors for cervical spine manipulation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13732 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:43:33 AEST ]]> Multivariate neuroanatomical classification of cognitive subtypes in schizophrenia: a support vector machine learning approach https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19873 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:32:27 AEST ]]> Assessing response to stroke thrombolysis validation of 24-hour multimodal magnetic resonance imaging https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22216 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:00:50 AEST ]]> The relationship between dens height and alar ligament orientation: a radiologic study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13300 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:52:17 AEST ]]> Development of magnetic resonance imaging based prostate treatment planning https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21638 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:44:05 AEST ]]> MRI in general practice https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16960 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:30:27 AEST ]]> Investigation of magnetic resonance imaging for prostate radiation therapy planning with cone-beam CT-based image guided radiation therapy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13687 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:15:37 AEST ]]> Audiovisual biofeedback improves cine-magnetic resonance imaging measured lung tumor motion consistency https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28108 Wed 10 Nov 2021 15:04:50 AEDT ]]> Structure-relaxivity mechanism of an ultrasmall ferrite nanoparticle T-1 MR contrast agent: The impact of dopants controlled crystalline core and surface disordered shell https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39803 1 nanoprobe for noninvasive visualization of biological events. However, the structure–relaxivity relationship and regulatory mechanism of UFNPs remain elusive. Herein, we developed chemically engineered 3.8 nm ZnxFe3–xO4@ZnxMnyFe3–x–x–yO4 (denoted as ZnxF@Zn4Mn4F) nanoparticles with precise dopants control in both crystalline core and disordered shell as a model system to assess the impact of dopants on the relaxometric properties of UFNPs. It is determined that the core–shell dopant architecture allows the optimal tuning of r1 relaxivity for Z0.40.4F@Zn0.40.4Mn0.2F up to 20.22 mM–1 s–1, which is 5.2-fold and 6.5-fold larger than that of the original UFNPs and the clinically used Gd-DTPA. Moreover, the high-performing UFNPs nanoprobe, when conjugated with a targeting moiety AMD3100, enables the in vivo MRI detection of small lung metastasis with greatly enhanced sensitivity.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of patients transferred from 31 referring hospitals >300 miles (measured by the most direct road distance) to 9 comprehensive stroke centers in Australia and New Zealand for EVT consideration (April 2016 through May 2021). Results: There were 131 patients; the median age was 64 [53-74] years and the median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 16 [12-22]. At baseline, 79 patients (60.3%) had noncontrast CT+CT angiography, 52 (39.7%) also had CTP. At the comprehensive stroke center, 114 (87%) patients underwent cerebral angiography, and 96 (73.3%) proceeded to EVT. At 3 months, 62 patients (48.4%) had an mRS score of 0 to 2 and 81 (63.3%) mRS score of 0 to 3. CTP selection at the referring site was not associated with better ordinal scores on the mRS at 3 months (mRS median of 2 [1-3] versus 3 [1-6] in the patients selected with noncontrast CT+CT angiography, P=0.1). Nevertheless, patients selected with CTP were less likely to have an mRS score of 5 to 6 (odds ratio 0.03 [0.01-0.19]; P<0.01). Conclusions: In selected patients transferred >300 miles, there was a benefit for EVT, with outcomes similar to those treated in the comprehensive stroke center in the EVT extended window trials. Remote hospital CTP selection was not associated with ordinal mRS improvement, but was associated with fewer very poor 3-month outcomes.]]> Tue 18 Jul 2023 14:30:07 AEST ]]> Optimisation of 2D U-Net model components for automatic prostate segmentation on MRI https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38709 Tue 18 Jan 2022 11:49:18 AEDT ]]> MRI sequence optimisation methods to identify cranial nerve course for radiotherapy planning https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53801 Tue 16 Jan 2024 14:52:15 AEDT ]]> Decoding causal links between sleep apnea and alzheimer's disease https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46325 Tue 15 Nov 2022 12:07:00 AEDT ]]> Comparing fully automated state-of-the-art cerebellum parcellation from magnetic resonance images https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43097 Tue 13 Sep 2022 12:40:26 AEST ]]> Midsagittal corpus callosum area and conversion to multiple sclerosis after clinically isolated syndrome: a multicentre Australian cohort study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34120 Tue 12 Feb 2019 13:13:57 AEDT ]]> Systematic review of in-vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for the assessment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41391 Tue 02 Aug 2022 17:47:20 AEST ]]> Acute stroke imaging research roadmap II https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19652 12 months, with the final meeting occurring during the Stroke Treatment Academy Industry Roundtable (STAIR) on March 9 to 10, 2013, in Washington, DC. This process brought together vascular neurologists, neuroradiologists, neuroimaging research scientists, members of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, industry representatives, and members of the US Food and Drug Administration to discuss stroke imaging research priorities, especially in the light of the recent negative results of acute stroke clinical trials that tested the concept of penumbral imaging selection. The goal of this process was to propose a research roadmap for the next 5 years. STIR recommendations include (1) the use of standard terminology, aligned with the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Common Data Elements. ; (2) a standardized imaging assessment of revascularization in acute ischemic stroke trials, including a modified Treatment In Cerebral Ischemia (mTICI) score. ; (3) a standardized process to assess whether ischemic core and penumbral imaging methods meet the requirements to be considered as an acceptable selection tool in acute ischemic stroke trials. ; (4) the characteristics of a clinical and imaging data repository to facilitate the development and testing process described in recommendation no. 3. ; (5) the optimal study design for a clinical trial to evaluate whether advanced imaging adds value in selecting acute ischemic stroke patients for revascularization therapy. ; (6) the structure of a stroke neuroimaging network to implement and coordinate the recommendations listed above.

Diffusion-weighted images were acquired with a Siemens 3T scanner. All participants completed a clinical interview. There were no significant differences between groups on measures of depression, anxiety, stress, or post-concussion symptoms; however, NRL players scored significantly higher on the alcohol use disorder identification test (AUDIT). Voxelwise analyses of DTI measures were performed using tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) with age and AUDIT scores included as covariates. TBSS revealed significantly reduced fractional anisotropy (FA), and increased radial diffusivity (RD), axial diffusivity (AD), and trace (TR) in white matter regions of recently retired NRL players compared with controls. FA was significantly reduced in the right superior longitudinal fasciculus and right corticospinal tract while TR, RD, and AD were increased in these regions, as well as the corpus callosum, forceps major, right uncinate fasciculus, and left corticospinal tract. In summary, DTI in a small cohort of recently retired professional NRL players with a history of multiple concussions showed differences in white matter microstructure compared with age- and education-matched controls with no history of brain trauma.]]> Thu 21 Apr 2022 15:32:34 AEST ]]> Magnetic resonance imaging anatomy of the craniovertebral ligaments: A radiological study with confirmatory dissection https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52640 Thu 19 Oct 2023 15:19:02 AEDT ]]> Exploring patient-centred preparatory information provision in the digital era: an investigation among MRI and CT medical imaging outpatients https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38864 Thu 14 Mar 2024 09:06:09 AEDT ]]> Lateral atlantoaxial joint meniscoid volume in individuals with whiplash associated disorder: a case-control study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33218 Thu 13 Sep 2018 13:57:02 AEST ]]> Refining the perfusion-diffusion mismatch hypothesis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:933 =20% was observed in 89% (Tmax) to 92% (TTP/FMT/MTT) of patients. Application of a +4s (relative to the contralateral hemisphere) PWI threshold reduced the frequency of positive mismatch volumes (TTP 73%/FMT 68%/Tmax 54%/MTT 43%). Mismatch was not significantly different when assessed with ADC maps. Mismatch volume, calculated with all parameters and thresholds, was not significantly correlated with DWI expansion. In contrast, reperfusion was correlated inversely with infarct growth (R=-0.51; P=0.009). Conclusions-: Deconvolution and application of PWI thresholds provide more conservative estimates of tissue at risk and decrease the frequency of mismatch accordingly. The precise definition may not be critical; however, because reperfusion alters tissue fate irrespective of mismatch.]]> Thu 01 Aug 2019 17:24:33 AEST ]]> Brain structural differences associated with the behavioural phenotype in children with Williams syndrome https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8106 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:40:01 AEDT ]]> A comparative study of cognition and brain anatomy between two neurodevelopmental disorders: 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and Williams syndrome https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7676 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:39:24 AEDT ]]> Early diagnosis of primary/idiopathic adhesive capsulitis: can imaging contribute? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13713 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:24:27 AEDT ]]> Diffusion-weighted imaging of the breast: principles and clinical applications https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13275 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:15:16 AEDT ]]> Cerebellar grey matter deficits in first-episode schizophrenia mapped using cortical pattern matching https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10763 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:13:54 AEDT ]]> Automatic MRI atlas-based external beam radiation therapy treatment planning for prostate cancer https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11723 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:07:24 AEDT ]]> Moving beyond a single perfusion threshold to define penumbra: a novel probabilistic mismatch definition https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21715 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:26 AEDT ]]> Patient specific prostate segmentation in 3-D magnetic resonance images https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21587 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:00:43 AEDT ]]> Comparison of computed tomography perfusion and magnetic resonance imaging perfusion-diffusion mismatch in ischemic stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21179 4 seconds for lesion region of interest. The MR-Tmax >6 seconds perfusion lesion was automatically segmented and registered to CTP. Receiver-operating characteristic analysis determined the optimal CT-Tmax threshold to match MR-Tmax >6 seconds. Agreement of these CT parameters with MR perfusion-diffusion mismatch in coregistered slabs was assessed (mismatch ratio >1.2, absolute mismatch >10 mL, infarct core <70 mL). Results: In analysis of 49 patients (mean onset to CT, 213 minutes; mean CT to MR, 31 minutes), constraining relCBF <31% within the automated relTTP perfusion lesion region of interest reduced the median magnitude of volumetric error (vs diffusion-weighted imaging) from 47.5 mL to 15.8 mL (P<0.001). The optimal CT-Tmax threshold to match MR-Tmax >6 seconds was 6.2 seconds (95% confidence interval, 5.6–7.3 seconds; sensitivity, 91%; specificity, 70%; area under the curve, 0.87). Using CT-Tmax >6 seconds “penumbra” and relTTP-constrained relCBF “core,” CT-based and MRI-based mismatch status was concordant in 90% (kappa=0.80). Conclusions: Quantitative CTP mismatch classification using relCBF and Tmax is similar to perfusion-diffusion MRI.

The primary outcome was a comparison of infarct growth in alteplase vs placebo patients with coregistered mismatch. Of 99 patients with baseline diffusion-weighted imaging and perfusion-weighted imaging, coregistration of both images was possible in 95 patients. Coregistered mismatch was present in 93% (88/95) compared to 85% (81/95) with standard volumetric mismatch. In the coregistered mismatch patients, of whom 45 received alteplase and 43 received placebo, the primary outcome measure of geometric mean infarct growth was significantly attenuated by a ratio of 0.58 with alteplase compared to placebo (1.02 vs 1.77; 95% CI, 0.33–0.99; P=0.0459). When using coregistration techniques to determine the presence of mismatch at study entry, alteplase significantly attenuated infarct growth.

Hemorrhagic transformation was classified according to the European Cooperative Acute Stroke Studies criteria. Results: Of the 175 patients, 28 had definite atrial fibrillation, 30 probable atrial fibrillation, 111 no atrial fibrillation, and six were excluded due to insufficient imaging data. At baseline, patients with definite atrial fibrillation had more severe hypoperfusion (median time to maximum >8 s, volume 48 vs. 29 ml, P = 0·02) compared with patients with no atrial fibrillation. At outcome, patients with definite atrial fibrillation had greater infarct growth (median volume 47 vs. 8 ml, P = 0·001), larger infarcts (median volume 75 vs. 23 ml, P = 0·001), more frequent parenchymal hematoma grade hemorrhagic transformation (30% vs. 10%, P = 0·03), worse functional outcomes (median modified Rankin scale score 4 vs. 3, P = 0·03), and higher mortality (36% vs. 16%, P = 0·03) compared with patients with no atrial fibrillation. Definite atrial fibrillation was independently associated with increased parenchymal hematoma (odds ratio = 6·05, 95% confidence interval 1·60–22·83) but not poor functional outcome (modified Rankin scale 3–6, odds ratio = 0·99, 95% confidence interval 0·35–2·80) or mortality (odds ratio = 2·54, 95% confidence interval 0·86–7·49) three-months following stroke, after adjusting for other baseline imbalances. Conclusion: Atrial fibrillation is associated with greater volumes of more severe baseline hypoperfusion, leading to higher infarct growth, more frequent severe hemorrhagic transformation and worse stroke outcomes.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:25 AEDT ]]> Magnetic resonance imaging of anatmoic defects in faecal incontinence https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6688 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:46:11 AEDT ]]> Imaging atlas of the pelvic floor and anorectal diseases https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5712 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:45:28 AEDT ]]> Selection of thrombolytic therapy beyond 3 h using magnetic resonance imaging https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:117 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:43:16 AEDT ]]> Contralesional thalamic surface atrophy and functional disconnection 3 months after ischemic stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27975 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:43 AEDT ]]> Genetic influences on schizophrenia and subcortical brain volumes: large-scale proof of concept https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29335 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:19 AEDT ]]> White matter disruptions in schizophrenia are spatially widespread and topologically converge on brain network hubs https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30942 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:42 AEDT ]]> Utilisation of MR spectroscopy and diffusion weighted imaging in predicting and monitoring of breast cancer response to chemotherapy https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25640 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:09 AEDT ]]> An open source automatic quality assurance (OSAQA) tool for the ACR MRI phantom https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26953 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:27:03 AEDT ]]> Morphology of cervical spine meniscoids in individuals with chronic whiplash-associated disorder: a case-control study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28199 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:23:53 AEDT ]]> Optimal magnetic resonance perfusion thresholds identifying ischemic penumbra and infarct core: a Chinese population-based study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26920 70% reperfusion at 24 h) were enrolled to investigate the ischemic penumbra and infarct core, respectively. The final infarct was assessed on 24-h diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), which was retrospectively matched to the baseline perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) images by volume or voxel-based analysis. The optimal thresholds that determined by each approach were compared. Results: From June 2009 to Jan 2014, of 50 patients enrolled, 19 patients achieved no reperfusion, and 20 patients reperfused at 24 h. In patients with no reperfusion, Tmax > 6 seconds was proved of the best agreement with the final infarct in both volumetric analysis (ratio: 1.05, 95% limits of agreement:-0.23 to 2.33, P < 0.001) and voxel-by-voxel analysis (sensitivity: 72.3%, specificity: 74.3%). In patients with reperfusion, rMTT>225% (ratio:2.4, 95% limits of agreement: -6.5 to 11.4, P < 0.001) was found of the best volumetric agreement with the final infarct, while Tmax > 5.6 seconds (sensitivity: 76.8%, specificity: 70.3%) performed most accurately in voxel-based analysis. Conclusion: Among Chinese acute stroke patients, volume of Tmax >6 seconds may precisely target ischemic penumbra tissue as good as voxel-based analysis performed, albeit no concordant MRP parameter is found to accurately predict infarct core because reperfusion occurred within 24 h after thrombolysis fails to restrain the infarct growth.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:23:34 AEDT ]]> A survey of cervix segmentation methods in magnetic resonance images https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23481 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:06 AEDT ]]> Comparison of deep learning-based and patch-based methods for pseudo-CT generation in MRI-based prostate dose planning https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46578 2-weighted MRIs were acquired in addition to planning CTs.

Dose uncertainties were quantified as mean absolute differences between the dose volume histograms (DVHs) calculated from the CTref and pCT obtained by each method. Three-dimensional gamma indexes were analyzed. Results: Considering the image uncertainties in the whole pelvis, GAN L2 and U-Net L2 showed the lowest mean absolute error (≤34.4 Hounsfield units). The mean errors were not different than 0 (P ≤ .05). The PBM provided the highest uncertainties. Very few DVH points differed when comparing GAN L2 or U-Net L2 DVHs and CTref DVHs (P ≤ .05). Their dose uncertainties were ≤0.6% for the prostate planning target Volume V95%, ≤0.5% for the rectum V70Gy, and ≤0.1% for the bladder V50Gy. The PBM, U-Net PL, and GAN PL presented the highest systematic dose uncertainties. The gamma pass rates were >99% for all DLMs. The mean calculation time to generate 1 pCT was 15 s for the DLMs and 62 min for the PBM. Conclusions: Generating pCT for MRI dose planning with DLMs and PBM provided low-dose uncertainties. In particular, the GAN L2 and U-Net L2 provided the lowest dose uncertainties together with a low computation time]]> Mon 28 Nov 2022 16:01:26 AEDT ]]> The effect of imaging modality (magnetic resonance imaging vs. computed tomography) and patient position (supine vs. prone) on target and organ at risk doses in partial breast irradiation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49529 Mon 22 May 2023 08:31:17 AEST ]]> Linking Polygenic Risk of Schizophrenia to Variation in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Brain Measures: A Comprehensive Systematic Review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53905 Mon 22 Jan 2024 15:11:18 AEDT ]]> Pseudo-CT generation for MRI-only radiotherapy: comparative study between a generative adversarial network, a U-Net network, a patch-based, and an atlas based methods https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38715 Mon 20 Nov 2023 15:50:10 AEDT ]]> Role of computed tomography perfusion in identification of acute lacunar stroke syndromes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38706 Mon 17 Jan 2022 15:59:07 AEDT ]]> Novel methodology to quantify dehydration in head and neck cancer radiotherapy using DIXON MRI https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53033 Mon 13 Nov 2023 08:48:28 AEDT ]]> Computed tomography synthesis from magnetic resonance imaging using cycle Generative Adversarial Networks with multicenter learning https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55076 Mon 08 Apr 2024 14:17:28 AEST ]]> Cone beam computed tomography image guidance within a magnetic resonance imaging-only planning workflow https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55077 Mon 08 Apr 2024 14:16:50 AEST ]]> Indexing cerebrovascular health using near-infrared spectroscopy: a multi-model analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37624 Mon 01 Mar 2021 15:54:04 AEDT ]]> Silent lesions on MRI imaging - Shifting goal posts for treatment decisions in multiple sclerosis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41309 Mon 01 Aug 2022 12:30:36 AEST ]]> Altered in vivo brain GABA and glutamate levels are associated with multiple sclerosis central fatigue https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40208 Mon 01 Aug 2022 09:10:25 AEST ]]> Predicting recovery after stroke using neuroimaging https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35172 Fri 28 Jun 2019 10:23:23 AEST ]]> Prediction of on-treatment disability worsening in RRMS with the MAGNIMS score https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46553 Fri 25 Nov 2022 11:33:34 AEDT ]]> Reliability of neurometabolite detection with two-dimensional localized correlation spectroscopy at 3T https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47224 Fri 16 Dec 2022 10:37:25 AEDT ]]> The measurement of CSF flow through the aqueduct in normal and hydrocephalic children: from where does it come, to where does it go? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20374 Fri 14 Sep 2018 15:50:59 AEST ]]> Large-Scale Evidence for an Association between Peripheral Inflammation and White Matter Free Water in Schizophrenia and Healthy Individuals https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46105 Fri 11 Nov 2022 11:44:05 AEDT ]]> Prevalence and correlates of patient-centred preparatory information provision to computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging outpatients: A cross-sectional study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36851 Fri 10 Jul 2020 11:32:44 AEST ]]> Pseudo-CT generation by conditional inference random forest for MRI-based radiotherapy treatment planning https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32135 Fri 04 May 2018 15:36:57 AEST ]]> Diurnal variability of cerebral metabolites in healthy human brain with two-dimensional localised correlation spectroscopy (2D L-COSY) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47876 0.12). in vivo results showed statistically significant diurnal variations (P ≤ 0.05, F > 3.88) for 22 resonances.
