OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Functional imaging has many potential uses in cancer: as a predictive biomarker, for directing radiotherapy or targeted systemic therapy and in assessment of response. However, these have to date found limited use clinically. The investigation of both established imaging methods (perfusion CT and MRI, FMISO- and FDG-PET) and novel functional imaging techniques (CEST and oxygen-enhanced MRI) through longitudinal imaging studies of patients undergoing radiotherapy will be presented. Comparison with histopathological assessment and the potential to combine imaging with genetic data to provide a tailored management plan for patients with cancer will be discussed
