Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging in perianal crohn’s disease at 1.5 and 3.0 T: A feasibility study (2021)
Journal Article

Perianal Crohn’s Disease (pCD) is a common manifestation of Crohn’s Disease. Absence of reliable disease measures makes disease monitoring unreliable. Qualitative MRI has been increasingly used for diagnosing and monitoring pCD and has shown potentia...

Small bowel water content assessed by MRI in health and disease: a collation of single-centre studies (2021)
Journal Article

Background: New developments in MRI have allowed the non-invasive, accurate measurement of the small bowel water content (SBWC). Aims: To collate studies measuring SBWC following ingestion of a range of foods in both health and disease to provide dat...

Luminal fluid motion inside an in vitro dissolution model of the human ascending colon assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (2021)
Journal Article

Knowledge of luminal flow inside the human colon remains elusive, despite its importance for the design of new colon-targeted drug delivery systems and physiologically relevant in silico models of dissolution mechanics within the colon. This study us... Read More about Luminal fluid motion inside an in vitro dissolution model of the human ascending colon assessed using magnetic resonance imaging.

Psyllium reduces insulin-induced colonic gas production in irritable bowel syndrome: MRI and in vitro fermentation studies (2021)
Journal Article

Objective: Health promoting dietary fibre including inulin often triggers gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), limiting their intake. Our aim was to test if co-administering psyllium with inulin would reduce gas...

Test–retest assessment of non-contrast MRI sequences to characterise and quantify the small bowel wall in healthy participants (2021)
Journal Article

Objective: Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging sequences have been investigated as objective imaging biomarkers of fibrosis and inflammation in Crohn’s disease. Aim: To determine the repeatability and inter- and intra-observer agreement of these...

Colonic Volume Changes in Paediatric Constipation Compared to Normal Values Measured Using MRI (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Functional constipation in children is common. Management of this condition can be challenging and is often based on symptom reports. Increased, objective knowledge of colonic volume changes in constipation compared to health could provid...
