Dans ce travail, les s´séquences Imagerie par Résonance Magnétique (IRM) radiales à temps d’écho ultra-court (UTE) sont analysées pour évaluer leur potentiel dans l’étude non-invasive de différents modèles expérimentaux de maladies pulmonaires chez la souris. Chez le petit animal, les séquences radiales UTE peuvent efficacement limiter l’impact négatif sur la qualité de l’image dû au déphasage rapide des spins causé par les nombreuses interfaces air/tissu. En plus, les séquences radiales UTE sont moins sensibles aux artefacts de mouvement par rapport aux séquences Cartésiennes classiques. En c

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is a DNA-binding enzyme involved in DNA repair by the base-excision pathway. The inhibition of PARP1 is being investigated as a cancer treatment. Rucaparib (CO338) is a potent PARP 31 inhibitor currently in Phase II clinical development. In this thesis P in vivo MR Spectroscopy (MRS) and Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) MRI were used to study acute effects of rucaparib on energy metabolism and tumour vasculature. 1 31 18 18 Ex vivo H and P-MRS, and in vivo [ F]FLT and [ F]FDG-PET, were used to study effects of treatment with rucaparib on tumour metabolism a

Abstract:

In this thesis, we describe several imaging techniques specifically designed and developed for the assessment of pulmonary structure, function and pathology. We then describe the application of this technology within appropriate biological systems, including the identification, tracking and assessment of lung tumors in a mouse model of lung cancer. The design and development of a Large Image Microscope Array (LIMA), an integrated whole organ serial sectioning and imaging system, is described with emphasis on whole lung tissue. This system provides a means for acquiring 3D pathology of fixed w

Abstract:

The rapid discovery of novel therapeutic agents, targeting the specific mechanism of cancer progression, invasion and angiogenesis, necessitates the development and validation of efficient techniques to assess the therapeutic efficacy of these drugs in vivo. Recently the development of dedicated PET scanners for the imaging of small animals, such as the microPET system (CTI Concorde R4), has allowed for the high-resolution functional and molecular imaging of murine and rodent models of disease. This study, investigates the ability of microPET imaging, using the 18F labelled 2-fluoro-2-deoxyglu

Abstract:

Tumor acidosis is an important biomarker in cancer. We have developed a noninvasive imaging method, termed acidosis Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (acidoCEST) MRI to measure extracellular pH (pHe) in the tumor microenvironment. Chapter 1 introduces the importance of measuring tumor acidosis and presents various imaging modalities and their shortcoming to measure pHe. Chapter 2 describes the optimization of acidoCEST MRI for in vivo pHe measurement. The acidoCEST MRI protocol consists of a CEST-FISP acquisition and Lorentzian line shape fittings. We determined the optimal saturation time

Abstract:

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and affects roughly 1.5 million new people in the United States every year. One of the leading tools in the detection and treatment of cancer is radiation. Tumors can be detected and identified using CT or PET scans, and can then be treated with external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy. By taking advantage of the physical properties of gold and the biological properties of nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) can be used to improve both cancer radiotherapy and imaging. By infusing a tumor with GNPs, either using passive extravasati

Abstract:

Defining language lateralisation is important to minimise morbidity in patients treated surgically for temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) offers a promising, non-invasive, alternative strategy to the Wada test. Here, fMRI has been used to study healthy controls and patients with TLE in order (i) to define language-related activation patterns and their reproducibility; (ii) to compare lateralisation determined by fMRI with that from the Wada test; and (iii) to explore the usefulness of multiple fMRI language paradigms. 18 healthy controls (12 right-handed

Abstract:

It is an FDA requirement that the“first in human" dose be based on pre-clinical animal model efficacy and safety testing to ensure a safe entry into Phase I clinical trials. Pre-clinical safety and efficacy models range from mouse to non-human primates. Interspecies scaling of pharmacokinetic parameters is therefore important for predicting drug doses in human clinical trials, although it continues to be less than optimal. Understanding the disposition of the compound in different species through in vitro and in vivo experiments is necessary to ensure appropriate species are selected for human

Abstract:

Epilepsy is a common disorder with significant associated morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in treatment, there remain a minority of people with pharmacoresistant focal epilepsy for whom surgery may be beneficial. It has been suggested that not enough people are offered surgical treatment, partly owing to the fact that current non-invasive techniques do not always adequately identify the seizure onset zone so that invasive EEG is required. EEG-fMRI is an imaging technique, developed in the 1990s (Ives, Warach et al. 1993) which identifies regions of interictal epileptiform discharge as

Abstract:

The blood oxygen level dependent functional MRI (BOLD-fMRI) signal is an indirect measure of the neuronal activity that most BOLD studies are interested in. This thesis uses generative embedding algorithms to investigate some of the challenges and opportunities that this presents for BOLD imaging. It is standard practice to analyse BOLD signals using general linear models (GLMs) that assume fixed neurovascular coupling. However, this assumption may cause false positive or negative neural activations to be detected if the biological manifestations of brain diseases, disorders and pharmaceutical

First, the unequivocal diagnosis of most prion diseases currently requires the post-mortem collection of central nervous system tissue, either for histological examination or Western blot analysis; second, a viable treatment for clinical stage disease has not yet been identified; third, the e
