This is the homepage for the Diffusion MRI group at the University of Sydney. We are part of the Medical Imaging Science discipline in the Faculty of Medicine and Health and focus on using diffusion MRI to aid in the diagnosis of cancer in prostate, breast, and lymph node tissue.
- 2016 PhD graduate Aritrick Chatterjee (now at U. Chicago) has a new Radiology paper. “Hybrid diffusion MRI” combines diffusion and T2 effects to predict prostate tissue composition (http://pubs.rsna.org/doi/pdf/10.1148/radiol.2018171130).
- Congratulations to Sisi Liang on her PhD graduation. She is now at CSIRO in Melbourne.
- There is more to DWI than b-values! In this NMR in Biomedicine paper we show that diffusion time affects both ADC and FA measurements in prostate tissue, and that this effect can be explained by a simple two-component model that accounts for diffusion restriction.
- Take a look at our paper on histological validation of prostate MRI.
And see it explained in this video Drs Hayley Pye and Susan Heavey:
- Congratulations to Ned Charles for his PhD award. He’s now a senior software solutions engineer at Mathworks, Boston.
- Read about our prostate DWI paper in MRM Highlights. There’s also a recorded presentation you can watch.
- Where to next for prostate DWI? Here are our ideas in Diagnostics:
