Examples of Imperial's imaging research

Medical imaging is a key area of research at Imperial College and is published in a large number of high-impact journals.  Below are some examples of recent work:

Microbubble ultrasound improves the efficiency of gene transdution in skeletal muscle in vivo with reduced tissue damage.  Lu, Liang, Partridge and Blomley (2003) Gene Therapy  10: 396-405.

3D MRI fat map and 1H MRS spectrum (soleus muscle) from a healthy volunteer. The generation of body-fat phenotypes allow determination of gene-environment interactions (courtesy of Dr Jimmy Bell).

Application of a Bayesian classifier to sedimentation of lung parenchyma (Chabat F., Yang G-Z., Hansell D.M. (2003) Texture classification for the differentation of obstructive lung diseases on computed tomography.  Radiology 228: 871-877).
