Development and application of new cancer-specific contrast agents for tumour detection by magnetic resonance imagingShahbazi-Gahrouei, Dariyoush, University of Western Sydney, Nepean, School of Science January 2000 (has links)
Four new potential MR imaging contrast agents were synthesised. Gadolinium-hematoporphyrin (Gd-H) was produced by inserting gadolinium into the naturally occurring porphyrin,hematoporphyrin.Gadolinium-tetra-carboranylmethoxyphenyl-porphyrin acetate (Gd-TCP)was similarly synthesised by gadolinium insertion into the synthetic porphyrin, 1, 6, 11, 16-tetra-[3-(carboranylmethoxy)phenyl] porphyrin. The monoclonal antibodies, 9.2.27 against melanoma and WM53 against leukaemia cell lines, were conjugated with cyclic anhydride gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (Gd-cDTPAa), yielding the attachment of chelate DTPA to the antibodies. Gadolinium ion was inserted into the chelate DTPA, thus labelled both these antibodies with Gd-DTPA. Overall, with the satisfactory low levels of gadolinium in the liver, kidneys, and spleen, and good tumour uptake, gadolinium antibody conjugates has considerable potential for further diagnostic applications of MR imaging. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Circulating tumour DNA: a minimally invasive biomarker for tumour detection and stratificationSurani, Arif A., Poterlowicz, Krzysztof January 2016 (has links)
Ye / Genetic and epigenetic alterations significantly contribute to development of human cancer. Genotyping tumour tissue in search for these actionable genetic and epigenetic changes has become routine practice in oncology. However, sampling tumour tissue has significant inherent limitations. It provides only a single snapshot in time, prone to selection bias due to intra-tumour heterogeneity, and cannot always be performed owing to its invasive nature. Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) based liquid biopsy provides an effective alternative to invasive tissue sampling and have emerged as a minimally invasive, real-time biomarker. Recent advancements in DNA sequencing technologies have revealed enormous potential of ctDNA to improve tumour detection and stratification. In this review, we critically appraise the role of ctDNA as a liquid biopsy for cancer and evaluate the role of circulating tumour DNA as a diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarker. We also highlight some technical challenges and constraints associated with circulating DNA analysis.

Compact Microstrip Antenna Design for Microwave ImagingAdnan, S., Abd-Alhameed, Raed, Hraga, Hmeda I., Elfergani, Issa T., Child, Mark B. 08 November 2010 (has links)
Yes / An ultra-wideband microstrip antenna design is
considered with respect to applications in breast cancer
detection. The underlying design concept is based on ground
penetrating radar (GPR). Simulated and measured prototype
performance show excellent performance in the input impedance
and radiation pattern over the target range from 4 GHz to 8
GHz. The 4 GHz to 8GHz frequency band for microwave
imaging perform better in comparison with other microwave
frequencies. The antenna also shows a reasonable uniform
radiation performance in the broadside direction which
contributes to the reduction of clutter levels, thus aiding the reconstruction quality of the final image.
