Background & Objective
IBD fatigue aetiology is poorly understood. This study quantified body composition and physical function alongside proton magnetic resonance imaging (1H MRI) and spectroscopy (31P MRS) measures of organ structure and function...

Background
Histologically assessed liver fibrosis stage has prognostic significance in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and is accepted as a surrogate endpoint in clinical trials for non-cirrhotic NAFLD. Our aim was to compare...

In silico evaluation and optimisation of magnetic resonance elastography of the liver (2021)
Journal Article
McGrath, D. M., Bradley, C. R., & Francis, S. T. (2021). In silico evaluation and optimisation of magnetic resonance elastography of the liver. Physics in Medicine and Biology, 66(22), Article 225005. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6560/ac3263

Objective. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is widely adopted as a biomarker of liver fibrosis. However, in vivo MRE accuracy is difficult to assess. Approach. Finite element model (FEM) simulation was employed to evaluate liver MRE accuracy and... Read More about In silico evaluation and optimisation of magnetic resonance elastography of the liver.

Background

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the colonic response to a macrogol challenge drink can be used to assess the mechanisms underlying severe constipation. We measured the intra-subject reproducibility of MRI measures of colonic funct... Read More about The MRI colonic function test: Reproducibility of the Macrogol stimulus challenge.
