Our research is multi-disciplinary. It draws on knowledge from physics, mathematics, computing, bioscience and clinical medicine to develop new ideas and methods with applications in health, industry and commerce. Our interests are focused around four complementary themes

Quantitative Imaging and Physiological Measurement
involves applying an understanding of physical principles and biological mechanisms to measuring structure and function in vivo. Current activities include Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging, MR spectroscopy, radiolabelling, and electrophysiology.

Functional MR Imaging and in vivo Spectroscopy. Anybody planning research projects involving scanning on the 1.5 Tesla Philips MR Scanner must download and complete the 'Application for Research Form' (word format) or there is a pdf.

Do you want to volunteer for an MR scan look at the pdf file.

To everyone who may want to transfer MRI data via the Philips MED-NT MR Scanner. Please printout and complete the data tranfser form (word format) or pdf version. The completed request form should be delivered Shelagh Stedman in room .

Image and Signal Computing (formerly the Wolfson Image Analysis Unit) involves applying computer modelling and pattern recognition techniques to the analysis and interpretation of images and signals. Current activities include computer vision, medical image analysis, face recognition, industrial inspection and signal interpretation in critical care.

Health Informatics
involves applying an understanding of computer technology, medical knowledge and organisational processes to develop new systems for supporting healthcare delivery. Current activities include computer-aided mammography, intelligent radiology reporting and critical care monitoring.

We offer Postgraduate Studentships in all areas.
