Information about the prostate and brain cancer projects and summary of published results.
The projects and published results in this group deal with prostate cancer.
We investigate the use of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy for prostate and brain cancer detection, focused on early-stage cancer diagnosis, anatomical segmentation, region of interest identification, machine learning and characterising biomarkers.
