Estimation of tumour size by imaging and excision in breast conserving surgery for breast cancer

Currently, the optimal treatment for early breast cancer is breast conserving surgery (BCS) and postoperative whole breast radiotherapy. Studies have shown that breast conserving therapy (BCT) is at least as effective in terms of disease outcome and overall survival when compared to mastectomy. In addition to this, BCT has the benefits of superior cosmetic outcome, […]

Improving patient outcomes with image-guided brachytherapy for pelvic cancers

Radiotherapy is a core part of multidisciplinary cancer management, with around 40% of those cured having radiotherapy as part of or the whole of their cancer treatment. Brachytherapy (derived from the Greek word brachys meaning ‘shortdistance’) is a form of radiotherapy where a sealed radiation source is placed directly into the body. Brachytherapy has advantages […]

CT in ischaemic cardiac disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death in western nations. Multi-detector CT (MDCT) images obtained with ECG gating are superior to the standard (non-ECGgated) studies due to reduction in blurring secondary to cardiac and respiratory motion, and deliver fast volume coverage and high spatial and temporal resolution. It is recognised as an […]
