Imaging Sciences

In the Imaging Theme physicists, chemists, computer scientists and clinical researchers work together to develop new methods and apply cutting edge imaging and computational techniques for the understanding of disease, its management and treatment. We use state-of-the-art Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Positron Emission Tomography equipment (including a cyclotron and radiochemistry facilities) on patients, normal volunteers and pre-clinical models, and apply novel computer algorithms to understand and interpret medical imaging data.

The group's research interests combine expertise in the domains of:

• physics
• mathematics
• computing
• bioscience
• clinical medicine

to develop new ideas and applications, leading to a high academic profile and also industrial collaborations and a number of succesful spin-out companies.
