Stereotactic radiotherapy for oligometastatic cancer

Patients diagnosed with metastatic cancer are living longer due to advances in both systemic anti-cancer therapies and radiotherapy. Metastases from primary tumours cause morbidity and it is estimated that metastases are responsible for approximately 90% of all cancer deaths. The concept of oligometastatic disease (OMD) was first proposed in a seminal paper in 1995 by […]

Emerging MRI techniques in oncology

The utility of MRI as a non-invasive and ionising radiation free test is clearly recognised in oncology. Conventional MRI utilises the abundance of hydrogen (1H) nuclei in water and fat molecules in the human body. This ‘proton density’ tends to be similar across different tissues and, along with two other tissue characteristics (T1 and T2), […]

Abdominal compression evaluation for abdominal and lower lobe lung SABR using a compression belt system

Abdominal compression (AC) is a simple and effective method of reducing diaphragmatic motion and is widely used in abdominal stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) delivery. It is not a new method of restricting motion; however, with the increase in SABR treatments there has been much interest in adopting this technique. Furthermore, there is some evidence […]

MRI for acute penile imaging

MRI of the penis can be performed in acute patients, particularly those presenting with symptoms of an acute penile fracture or priapism. It is reasonably quick to perform and if patients are in acute pain can give good quality images without the need for direct pressure on the penile and scrotal areas, which may be […]

The role of ultrasound in treating liver cancer

The diagnostic uses of ultrasound in liver cancer are well established. Ultrasound plays a key role in surveillance, biopsy and, increasingly, in characterisation, with the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). The treatment of liver cancer using ultrasound is perhaps less well appreciated. Ultrasound is used in the treatment of liver cancer in two ways: firstly […]
