Happening Now: Thanks Mbangula Lameck Amugongo #BlackLivesMatter from My NUST, for sharing your ideas and tips with Telecom Namibia on how we can fast-track our #DigitalTransformation journey, at our Annual Strategy Charrette! 🙏🏾


Important findings on 🦴fracture risk and 💪🏼sarcopaenia from the #STAMPEDE imaging group in the works… Watch this space! 👀 Craig Jones Ashwin Sachdeva @peterdutey The Christie NHS Manchester Cancer Research Centre MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL Prostate Cancer Foundation ProstateUK Profs

And to close up the day, @DonalMcSweeney6 and Ed Henderson run a tutorial for segmenting medical images using DL. Fully packed room full of questions!


Dr Alan McWilliam strikes again with a mini-oral on biomarkers given on behalf of his PhD student, Donal @DonalMcSweeney6. This #ESTRO23 talk focused on ‘Sarcopenia - a prognostic biomarker for definitive chemoradiotherapy in oesophageal cancer patients’


Last week these 4 radiotherapy related research students graduated with PhDs and MDs from The University of Manchester Division of Cancer Sciences Manchester Cancer Research Centre The Christie NHS A short thread to celebrate their achievements!


Also great seeing former colleagues and friends from The Christie NHS Dónal McSweeney Andy McPartlin Prof Ananya💙 @achoud72.bsky.social @marcelvanherk Dan Saunders🏳️🌈 (also on Bluesky) David Thomson James Price I expect to see ye in Washington DC next year. Or better yet, a trip to Galway


A fantastic start to #MICCAI2023 yesterday with workshops and challenges. It was an honour to share our submission to the SynthRAD challenge and meet so many others interested in medical image synthesis 👩🏼💻SASHIMI Workshop @ MICCAI 2025 @MatteoMasperoNL


🧵 Excited to share our latest paper in JAMA Oncology! Omar El-Taji led this meta-analysis to explore 🫀cardiovascular (CV) risks associated with 💊 androgen receptor signalling inhibitors (ARSI) in advanced prostate cancer (PCa). GU Cancer Research group Division of Cancer Sciences #CardioOncology



📢 Radiotherapy professionals—we want to hear from you! We're running a survey about using AI-based synthetic CT from cone-beam CT for image guidance in RT. 🕒 It takes ~20 minutes, and your responses are anonymous. 👉qualtrics.manchester.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_eE… #AI #SyntheticCT #CBCT #MedPhysics

Still time to take part in this exciting synthetic CT survey! How best can this be used in RT pathways. Grab a coffee and spend 10-15 minutes sharing your thoughts with us! ESTRO ASTRO American Association of Physicists in Medicine EFOMP Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine

Struan Gray kicked off with a prize-winning 🏆 poster on using CT scans from the #STAMPEDE abi & abi+enza trials to measure bone mineral density to help assess the impact of adding ARPIs to ADT amongst M0 prostate cancer patients


Omar El-Taji followed up with another prize-winning 🏆 poster reporting the use of CT-derived abdominal aortic calcification to predict non-cancer mortality within the #STAMPEDE abiraterone & docetaxel trials
