Case Studies

Cancer is the second largest cause of death in Europe. In the last few decades several new treatment modalities have emerged to help reduce the burden of this disease in the population, including, Magnetic Resonance (MR) guided radiotherapy (MRgRT). Magnetic resonance imaging provides detailed images of a patients soft tissues ...

Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide. Surgery is a common treatment but where it may be difficult, or cause disfigurement, it is often supplemented or replaced with radiotherapy (RT). In RT, medical accelerators or irradiating sources deliver ionising radiation, such as high-energy photons, protons, or electron...

One in two people will get cancer within their lifetime. Radiotherapy (RT) is an important tool used to kill cancer cells, shrink tumours, and relieve symptoms. In this type of treatment, beams of high-energy photons or subatomic particles such as electrons or protons, are delivered to patients using medical accelerators. Whil...

Infusion therapy, where drugs are delivered into a patient’s veins or under their skin, is the most common kind of medical therapy. These methods have applications across areas like pain relief, anaesthesia and chemotherapy, and require a precise dose of a drug to be delivered at a specific rate. In some instances, such as neon...

Nanoparticles (NP), defined as having one or more dimension of 1-100 nm, are used in a range of modern products, including cosmetics, sunscreen, coatings for solar cells, and materials for water treatment. A factor for their extensive use is the greater chemical activity imparted by their large surface area relative to their si...

Nanoparticles are becoming increasingly used in a wide range of areas, and thus are expected to soon have a significant economic and environmental impact. In health they are used for targeted drug delivery, and in the energy sector they are used in photovoltaic technologies to improve solar cell efficiency compared to conventio...
