▼ This research explored the use of Au nanoparticles on molecular imaging and cancer theranostics, with focuses on the fabrication of new materials, the incorporation of new medical isotope, as well as new labeling and detecting techniques. The first part focuses on the synthesis and characterization of
[email protected] core-shell tripods and their application in cancer theranostics. Innovative radiolabeling technique was developed to incorporate Cu-64 into the crystal lattice of the
[email protected] tripods for improved radiolabeling stability. Novel biomarker of C-C chemokine receptor type 5 was selected to target triple negative breast cancer. With characteristic localized surface plasmon resonance in the near infrared range, positron emission tomography guided photothermal therapy was also demonstrated. In addition, the
[email protected] tripods demonstrated a much brighter two-photon luminescence than that from Au nanorods, with a 3.6 ± 0.9 times larger two-photon action cross section and comparable quantum yield. The second part focuses on the use of Au-199 as a new medical isotope for the improvement of imaging quality of single-photon emission computed tomography. With Au-199 incorporated into the crystal lattice of nanoparticles improved radiolabeling stability was demonstrated. The third part demonstrated the use of Arg-Gly-Asp peptide-conjugated Au nanorods for radio-sensitization in radio therapy. This radio-sensitization effect was proofed to be the result of decreased expression level of αvβ3 integrin and increased G2/M arresting in cell cycle. Future directions on the improvement of biocompatibility of nanoparticle based theranostic agents were also outlined.

▼ The use of complementary non-invasive imaging modalities has been proposed to track disease progression, particularly cancer, while simultaneously evaluating therapeutic efficacy. A major obstacle is a limited ability to compare parameters obtained from different modalities, especially those from exogenous contrast agents or tracers. We hypothesize that combining Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound (US) will improve characterization of the tumour microenvironment. In this study, we describe a co-registration apparatus that facilitates the acquisition of a priori co-registered MR and US images in vivo. This apparatus was validated using phantom data and it was found that the US slices can be selected to an accuracy of +/- 100µm translationally and +/- 2 degrees rotationally. Additionally, it was shown that MRI and US may provide complimentary information about the tumour microenvironment, but more work needs to be done to assess repeatability of dynamic contrast enhanced MRI and US.

▼ Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), are infamously heterogeneous in regards to onset age, symptom prevalence, and severity progression rate. The current 'gold standard' techniques currently in use to assess the highly debilitating motor and non-motor symptoms are subjective, infrequent, and often ineffective with up to 20% of cases going undiagnosed until post-mortem. As such, these traditional and well established clinical assessment techniques are now starting to be fused with data-driven approaches in a bid to improve diagnosis and severity monitoring through the identification of objective disease biomarkers. Digital sensors present the opportunity to extract quantitative measures that are representative of disease presence and severity. However, existing studies using digital sensors to perform disease quantification are restricted by small cohorts, inconsistent experimental protocols, and purely cross-sectional analyses. The objective of this thesis is to provide novel insights as to how digital sensors can be further leveraged alongside prior clinical knowledge in order to improve the way Parkinson's disease is assessed in both clinical and remote environments. This thesis focuses on two large datasets that are juxtaposed in data quality, collection environment, and data type. Firstly, a clinical based approach to disease quantification is performed wherein an extensive network of wearable sensors is introduced into routine clinical care. Using this clinical dataset, the ability of wearable sensors to detect digital biomarkers distinctive of PD is investigated including the use of these biomarkers to perform automatic disease classification and severity prediction. Due to the longitudinal nature of data collection, new insights are revealed pertaining to symptom progression and the benefit of including longitudinal symptom variation into classification tasks. Secondly, the efficacy of performing disease assessment entirely in a remote environment using smartphones is investigated. Data was collected relating to many areas of disease manifestation and was often contributed daily by participants on a longitudinal basis. However, the remotely collected data suffers from a large degree of missingness, poor participant retention rate, and variable environmental conditions presenting new challenges during its analysis. High-frequency longitudinal analyses are performed and identify previously unseen motor and non-motor symptom progression characteristics. In order to perform disease classification using this dataset, a novel methodology is presented that compensates for the large quantities of source-wise missing data which, when combined with a stateof- the-art convolutional neural network, subsequently improves classification accuracy from 73.1% to 82.0%. Finally, a consistent analysis protocol is implemented on both datasets whilst simulating source-wise missing data; enabling a comprehensive comparison of missing data strategies for the purpose of disease classification.

▼ Hypoxia is a pathophysiological condition which
results from lack of oxygen supply in tumors. The assessment of
tumor hypoxia and its response to therapies can provide guidelines
for optimization and personalization of therapeutic protocols for
better treatment. Previous research has shown the difficulty in
measuring hypoxia anatomically due to its heterogenous nature. This
makes the study of hypoxia through various imaging modalities and
mapping techniques crucial. The potential of hypoxia targeting T1
contrast agent GdDO3NI in generating hypoxia maps has been studied
earlier. In this work, the similarities between hypoxia maps
generated by MRI using GdDO3NI and pimonidazole based
immunohistochemistry (IHC) in non-small cell lung carcinoma bearing
mice have been studied. Six NCI-H1975 tumor-bearing mice were
studied. All animal studies were approved by Arizona State
University’s Institute of Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).
Post co-injection of GdDO3NI and pimonidazole, T1 weighted 3D
gradient echo MR images were acquired. For ex-vivo analysis of
hypoxia, 30 μm thick tumor sections were obtained for each
harvested tumor and were stained for pimonidazole and
counter-stained with DAPI for nuclear staining. Pimonidazole (PIMO)
is clinically used as a “gold standard” hypoxia marker. The key
process involved stacking and iterative registration based on
quality metric SSIM (Structural Similarity) Index of DAPI stained
images of 5 consecutive tumor sections to produce a 3D volume stack
of 150 μm thickness. Information from the 3D volume is combined to
produce one final slide by averaging. The same registration
transform was applied to stack the pimonidazole images which were
previously thresholded to highlight hypoxic regions. The registered
IHC stack was then co-registered with a single thresholded T1
weighted gradient echo MRI slice of the same location (~156 μm
thick) using an elastic B-splines transform. The same transform was
applied to achieve the co-registration of pimonidazole and MR
percentage enhancement image. Image similarity index after the
co-registration was found to be greater than 0.5 for 5 of the
animals suggesting good correlation. R2 values were calculated for
both hypoxic regions as well as tumor boundaries. All the tumors
showed a high boundary correlation value of R2 greater than 0.8.
Half of the animals showed high R2 values greater than 0.5 for
hypoxic fractions. The RMSE values for the co-registration of all
the animals were found to be low further suggesting better
correspondence and validating the MR based hypoxia
imaging.

▼ Predictive learning forms the backbone of several data-driven systems powering scientific as well as commercial applications, e.g., filtering spam messages, detecting faces in images, forecasting health risks, and mapping ecological resources. However, one of the major challenges in applying standard predictive learning methods in real-world applications is the heterogeneity in populations of data instances, i.e., different groups (or populations) of data instances show different nature of predictive relationships. For example, different populations of human subjects may show different risks for a disease even if they have similar diagnosis reports, depending on their ethnic profiles, medical history, and lifestyle choices. In the presence of population heterogeneity, a central challenge is that the training data comprises of instances belonging from multiple populations, and the instances in the test set may be from a different population than that of the training instances. This limits the effectiveness of standard predictive learning frameworks that are based on the assumption that the instances are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d), which are ideally true only in simplistic settings. This thesis introduces several ways of learning predictive models with heterogeneity in populations, by incorporating information about the context of every data instance, which is available in varying types and formats in different application settings. It introduces a novel multi-task learning framework for problems where we have access to some ancillary variables that can be grouped to produce homogeneous partitions of data instances, thus addressing the heterogeneity in populations. This thesis also introduces a novel strategy for constructing mode-specific ensembles in binary classification settings, where each class shows multi-modal distribution due to the heterogeneity in their populations. When the context of data instances is implicitly defined such that the test data is known to comprise of contextually similar groups, this thesis presents a novel framework for adapting classification decisions using the group-level properties of test instances. This thesis also builds the foundations of a novel paradigm of scientific discovery, termed as theory-guided data science, that seeks to explore the full potential of data science methods but without ignoring the treasure of knowledge contained in scientific theories and principles.

▼ We explore the use of information theoretic measures
for positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction and for
multi-
modality non-rigid registration.; PET is a functional imaging
modality based on imaging the uptake of a radioactive tracer. PET
images are typically of low resolution and are accompanied by high
resolution anatomical images such as CT or MR for localization of
activity. PET tracer uptake typically results in a spatial density
that is highly correlated to the anatomical morphology. The
incorporation of this correlated anatomical information can
potentially improve the quality of low resolution PET images. We
propose using priors based on information theoretic similarity
measures to incorporate anatomical information in PET
reconstruction. We compare and evaluate the use of mutual
information (MI) and joint entropy (JE) between feature vectors
extracted from the anatomical and PET images as priors in PET
reconstruction. These feature vectors are defined using scale-space
theory such that they emphasize prominent boundaries in the
anatomical and functional images, and attach less importance to
detail and noise that is less likely to be correlated in the two
images. We present an efficient method of computing these priors
and their derivatives based on fast Fourier transforms that reduce
the complexity of their convolution-like expressions. Through
simulations and clinical data reconstructions, we evaluate the
performance of MI and JE based priors in comparison to a quadratic
prior, which does not use any anatomical information. We also apply
these priors to the problem of positron range correction. Positron
range is the distance traveled by a positron before annihilation,
thereby causing a blurring effect in the reconstructed image and
limiting its resolution. We use information theoretic priors in
conjunction with a system model that incorporates positron range by
modeling it as a spatially invariant blurring that is truncated at
the boundary of the imaging volume. We present phantom simulation
and real data results comparing these priors to the range corrected
system model with quadratic prior.; Small animal non-rigid
registration is especially challenging because of the presence of
rigid structures like the skeleton within non-rigid soft tissue. We
present two approaches to
multi-
modality imaging that can be
applied to clinical as well as pre-clinical images. First, we
describe a non-parametric scale-space approach to MI based
non-rigid small animal image registration. In this application, the
goal is to simultaneously align global structure as well as detail
in the images. We present results based on CT images obtained from
two time points of a longitudinal mouse study that demonstrate that
this approach aligns both skeleton and soft tissue better than a
commonly used hierarchical approach. Second, we explore an
alternative formulation that uses the log likelihood of the
reference image (target) given the image to be registered
(template) as a similarity metric wherein the likelihood is…

▼ Thin-capped fibroatheroma (TCFA) is considered to be

prognosis of TCFA will not only guide the therapeutic strategy to
benefit the patients, but also contribute to the study of natural
history of vulnerable plaque that is still elusive. To date,
various imaging modalities employing ultrasonic scattering contrast
with radio frequency analysis, optical scattering contrast, optical
absorption mechanism, spectroscopic analysis and targeted-molecular
imaging method, provide diverse visualizations of coronary arteries
both in clinic and research. However, none of these imaging
modalities has been symmetrically validated to precisely detect
TCFA in vivo, since any single imaging
modality exhibit natural
limitations when characterizing the elusive TCFA. Therefore,
integration of theses imaging modalities into a single catheter is
hypothesized to be the optimal method to enable the early detection
of TCFA by combing best features of these techniques while
compensating their respective weakness. ❧ In this thesis, several
multi-
modality intravascular imaging systems by combined use of
ultrasonic and optical techniques were developed in three aspects
to access the morphological information, functional components, and
elasticity of coronary arteries. Aim to fully obtain the
morphological information real time in vivo, an ultra-high speed
integrated intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence
tomography (OCT) system has been optimized and prototyped.
Statistical validation study and IVUS-OCT diagnostic criteria
development has demonstrated that the integrated IVUS-OCT system
has an overall higher diagnostic accuracy of atherosclerotic
plaques, especially for lipid-rich plaques. From the cost-effective
perspectives, a
multi-frequency IVUS imaging system was developed
to improve the trade-off between resolution and depth of
penetration of IVUS. Aiming to measure the thin fibrous cap, an
ultra-high frequency IVUS transducer was incorporated into the
conventional IVUS catheter to provide higher special resolution
image of the coronary artery, which makes the
multi-frequency IVUS
imaging system an alternative of integrated IVUS-OCT system.
Moreover, the development of a high speed integrated IVUS and
intravascular photoacoustic (IVPA) system make it possible to
quantify a key parameter of diagnosing TCFA—the size of lipid
deposition inside coronary artery. In vitro imaging of lipid-laden
artery was performed by using current IVUS-IVPA system with 2
orders of magnitude improvement of imaging speed, which bridged the
gap of translating the IVUS-IVPA technology to clinical study. In
order to characterized the biomechanical properties of plaque
components, acoustic radiation force (ARF) optical coherence
elastography (OCE) is further developed featured by the confocal
alignment of OCT detection region with acoustic excitation field.

The Influence Of Gestural Learning On Oral Reading And Reading Comprehension.

▼ The purpose of this study is to evaluate how gestural training may facilitate oral reading and reading comprehension of single words. For example, it is not clear whether
multi-modal cues such as gesture provide an advantage over verbal cueing alone, or which type of
multi-modal cues may be more effective than others in visual-verbal learning. This study examined language learning in healthy volunteers to be able to apply the effective methods for language intervention in individuals with language difficulties.
Thirty-two healthy adults were selected to participate in four different learning conditions including verbal alone, visual cue, meaningful gesture, and meaningless gesture. The participants were trained to correlate a verb with the matched nonsense symbol(s). After the 4 training conditions, the participants completed a final comprehensive yes/no verification task. It was predicted that participants would perform most accurately in orally reading novel script that was trained using meaningful gesture, followed by training with the visual tracing cue, then verbal training alone, and finally, verbal plus meaningless gesture. It was also predicted that participants would perform fastest in orally reading novel script that was trained using meaningful gesture, followed by training with the visual tracing cue, then verbal training alone, and finally, verbal plus meaningless gesture.
The results of this study did not support the assumption that training with meaningful gestures facilitates learning of visual-verbal associations more than verbal training alone. Also, the assumption that training with a visual tracing gesture would aid learning more than training with the verbal cue alone was not supported by this study. The assumption that training with meaningless gestures would interfere with learning compared to training with the verbal cue only was supported by this study.
These results suggest that the addition of a gesture with the verbal production of the word divides the participants' attention between two items rather than one. These results also suggest that the nonsense symbols were vastly unfamiliar and therefore taxing the process of language learning. It would be beneficial for future studies to use the theory of these training tasks with young children who have increased mental flexibility and are better able to learn language when using combined gestures and/or movement with verbal production of words.

▼ X-ray mammography is the gold standard for detecting breast cancer while B-mode ultrasound is employed as its diagnostic complement. This dissertation aimed at acquiring a high quality, high-resolution 3D automated ultrasound image of the entire breast at current diagnostic frequencies, in the same geometry as mammography and its 3D equivalent, digital breast tomosynthesis, and to extend and help test its utility with co-localization. The first objective of this work was to engineer solutions to overcome some challenges inherent in acquiring complete automated ultrasound of the breast and minimizing patient motion during scans. Automated whole-breast ultrasound that can be registered to X-Ray imaging eliminates the uncertainty associated with hand-held ultrasound. More than 170 subjects were imaged using superior coupling agents tested during the course of this study. At least one radiologist rated the usefulness of X-Ray and ultrasound co-localization as high in the majority of our study cases. The second objective was to accurately register tomosynthesis image volumes of the breast, making the detection of tissue growth and deformation over time a realistic possibility. It was found for the first time to our knowledge that whole breast digital tomosynthesis image volumes can be spatially registered with an error tolerance of 2 mm, which is 10% of the average size of cancers in a screening population. The third and final objective involved the registration and fusion of 3D ultrasound image volumes acquired from opposite sides of the breast in the mammographic geometry, a novel technique that improves the volumetric resolution of high frequency ultrasound but poses unique problems. To improve the accuracy and speed of registration, direction-dependent artifacts should be eliminated. Further, it is necessary to identify other regions, usually at greater depths, that contain little or misleading information. Machine learning, principal component analysis and speckle reducing anisotropic diffusion were tested in this context. We showed that machine learning classifiers can identify regions of corrupted data accurately on a custom breast-mimicking phantom, and also that they can identify specific artifacts in-vivo. Initial registrations of phantom image sets with many regions of artifacts removed provided robust results as compared to the original datasets.

▼ Medical imaging has revolutionised modern medicine and is now an integral aspect of diagnosis and patient monitoring. The development of new imaging devices for a wide variety of clinical cases has spurred an increase in the data volume acquired in hospitals. These large data collections offer opportunities for search-based applications in evidence-based diagnosis, education, and biomedical research. However, conventional search methods that operate upon manual annotations are not feasible for this data volume. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is an image search technique that uses automatically derived visual features as search criteria and has demonstrable clinical benefits. However, very few studies have investigated the CBIR of multi-modality medical images, which are making a monumental impact in healthcare, e.g., combined positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT) for cancer diagnosis.
In this thesis, we propose a new graph-based method for the CBIR of multi-modality medical images. We derive a graph representation that emphasises the spatial relationships between modalities by structurally constraining the graph based on image features, e.g., spatial proximity of tumours and organs. We also introduce a graph similarity calculation algorithm that prioritises the relationships between tumours and related organs. To enable effective human interpretation of retrieved multi-modality images, we also present a user interface that displays graph abstractions alongside complex multi-modality images.
Our results demonstrated that our method achieved a high precision when retrieving images on the basis of tumour location within organs. The evaluation of our proposed UI design by user surveys revealed that it improved the ability of users to interpret and understand the similarity between retrieved PET-CT images. The work in this thesis advances the state-of-the-art by enabling a novel approach for the retrieval of multi-modality medical images.

▼ L’objectif de ces travaux de recherche est d’étudier les méthodes d’évaluation de laqualité des images biométriques multimodales sur des échantillons acquis de manièrenon contrainte. De nombreuses s études ont noté l’importance de la qualité del’échantillon pour un système de reconnaissance ou un algorithme de comparaison,puisque la performance du système biométrique est intrinsèquement dépendant dela qualité des images de l’échantillon. Dès lors, la nécessité d’évaluer la qualitédes échantillons biométriques pour plusieurs modalités (empreintes digitales, iris,visage, etc.) est devenue primordiale notamment avec l’apparition de systèmesbiométriques multimodaux de haute précision.Après une introduction présentant un historique de la biométrie et des préceptesliés à la qualité des échantillons biométriques, nous présentons le concept d’évaluationde la qualité des échantillons pour plusieurs modalités. Les normes de qualitéISO / CEI récemment établies pour les empreintes digitales, l’iris et le visage sontprésentées. De plus, des approches d’évaluation de la qualité des échantillons conçuesspécifiquement pour les empreintes digitales avec et sans contact, pour l’iris(dont une image est capturée en proche infrarouge et dans le domaine visible),ainsi que le visage sont étudiées. Finalement, des techniques d’évaluation des performancesdes mesures de qualité des échantillons biométriques sont égalementétudiées.Sur la base des conclusions formulées suite à l’étude des solutions algorithmiques portant sur l’évaluation de la qualité des échantillons biométriques, nous proposonsun cadre commun pour l’évaluation de la qualité d’image biométrique pourplusieurs modalité. Après avoir étudié les attributs de qualité basés sur l’image parmodalité biométrique, nous examinons quelle intersection existe pour l’ensembledes modalités. Ensuite, nous sélectionnons et redéfinissons les attributs de qualitébasés sur l’image qui sont les plus importants afin de définir un cadre commun.Afin de relier ces attributs de qualité aux vrais échantillons biométriques,nous développons une nouvelle base de données de qualité d’image biométriquemulti-modalité qui contient des images échantillons de haute qualité et des imagesdégradées pour l’empreinte digitale acquise sans contact, l’iris (dont l’acquisitionest réalisée dans le spectre visible) et le visage. Les types de dégradation appliquéssont liés aux attributs de qualité qui sont communs aux diverses modalitéset qui sont basés sur l’image. Un autre aspect important du cadre commun proposéest la qualité de l’image et ses applications en biométrie. Nous avons d’abordintroduit et classifié les métriques de qualité d’image existantes, puis effectué unbref aperçu des métriques de qualité d’image sans référence, qui peuvent être appliquéespour l’évaluation de la qualité des échantillons biométriques. De plus, nousétudions comment les mesures de qualité d’image sans référence ont été utiliséespour l’évaluation de la qualité des empreintes digitales, de l’iris et des modalitésbiométriques du visage.Des…

▼ Technological innovations have given rise to data-rich environments that support the use of heterogeneous sensor measurements to monitor complex healthcare systems. Despite these advancements, however, there remains little understanding of how patient health evolves in real clinical settings and how changes in health condition generate manifestations that are captured by the data. To address this knowledge gap, my research aims to build disease trajectory modeling that can reconstruct the evolving patient’s health condition over time, termed the contemporaneous health index (CHI), by combining data and the natural history model of the disease. This global index may help increase the continuity of care, facilitate patient-provider communication, and assist with a range of clinical decision makings. However, lack of deep understanding of the disease and its progression, existence of patient heterogeneity, inherent uncertainty in predictive models and the emergence of large amounts of complex, and unstructured data, all could compromise prediction capabilities. In this dissertation, we developed innovative methodologies that reflect the progression of the underlying patient condition by learning personalized models, quantifying the uncertainty of those models, and creating effective biomarker engineering pipelines to analyze large amounts of complex data for effective incorporation into the calculation of CHI. We first, proposed a novel clinical data fusion framework, named DL-CHI: a dictionary learning-based CHI that quantifies the severity of the deterioration process over time and represents monotonic progression patterns with a systematic optimization formulation. DL-CHI mitigated the heterogeneity of the patients by incorporating dictionary learning to create personalized models for individual patients. We then developed the UQ-CHI framework: an uncertainty quantification-based model of CHI to further enhance the disease trajectory modeling with uncertainty quantification by considering imperfect and continuous delivery of knowledge via probabilistic nature of maximum entropy discrimination (MED) principle. Finally, we proposed effective biomarker engineering pipelines to enable possible extensions of the CHI for building trajectory models from complex data (video, audio, text, and mobile sensor reading data). We applied the proposed methodologies to real-world applications, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), surgical site infection (SSI), depression and human activity recognition using wearable sensors

▼ Hyperpolarized 3Helium (HP 3He) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has provided considerable insights into the anatomical structures and localized physiological phenomenon involved in pulmonary ventilation. The increasing mortality rates of pulmonary diseases such as COPD, gives rise to the need for sensitive and regional assessments of early disease conditions in attempts to decrease mortality and improve lifestyles. Evaluation of the HP 3He MRI diffusion weighted measurements of lung microstructure, demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between microstructure expansion and degree of lung inflation at the time of imaging. The ability of HP 3He MRI to assess regional ventilation was validated against air volume change estimates of ventilation attainable via conventional MDCT in a cohort of 8 normal never smokers. Great correlations and slope were observed between the functional estimates, with similar gravitationally dependent-nondependent gradients throughout. A small but significant preferential helium distribution was observed in the nondependent regions, most likely due to gas density differences between air and helium. Further validation of HP 3He MRI's ability to assess regional ventilation, was carried via quantitative and qualitative assessments against xenon-enhanced MDCT (normal = 4, COPD = 2). The MRI based estimates were found to be insensitive to slow and fast ventilating regions, while superior in exhibiting ventilation defects. Similar gravitationally dependent - nondependent gradients were observed throughout, along with a homogenous distribution of the exogenous contrast agents. Coefficient of variation (COV) values followed similar trends in the normal subjects, while only one COPD
subject demonstrated an increase from the normal population baseline. Acquisition differences including single vs.
multi-breath and z-axis coverage could attribute to the quantitative differences observed. Evaluation of the density dependent distribution patterns of helium in a normal airway model via dynamic HP 3He MRI and computational fluid dynamics, demonstrated an increased preferential distribution in the nondependent airways, in agreement with the ventilation discrepancies previously observed. In combination with the developmental aspects of the presented research, we have validated the ability of HP 3He MRI to assess regional ventilation, via multiple quantitative assessments against conventional based and exogenously enhanced MDCT techniques and extracted the lung inflation level dependencies. Complimented with dynamic imaging and CFD simulations of helium distribution, these results provide insight into future considerations critical to the establishment of the technique as a surrogate to the ionizing radiation based modalities.

▼ The ageing population, greater survival following acute myocardial infarction and a greater prevalence of risk factors have all contributed to the emerging epidemics of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). At the same time, the landscape of cardiovascular imaging has shifted from echocardiography alone to one of multi-modality imaging. The combination of these developments has contributed to an increase in inappropriate use of cardiac investigations which, in its own right is an iatrogenic cardiovascular epidemic. An understanding of how best to utilise these technological advances with respect to optimal management of AF and HFpEF requires an evaluation of literature and experimental evaluation of their respective utilities.
The integration of advances in echocardiography (such as myocardial strain), Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) into current diagnostic pathways will improve our ability to evaluate presence of disease, enable comprehensive characterisation of both AF and HFpEF and also enable prognostication of future events.
I seek to determine the roles of Echocardiography, Cardiac CT and CMR with respect to AF and HFpEF. I also aim to use imaging advances to address the epidemic of inappropriate use. The goal of this thesis is to determine how advances in cardiac imaging can be integrated to improve management of cardiovascular epidemics both clinical (AF and HFpEF) and systemic/iatrogenic (inappropriate use).
I have divided my PhD thesis into 3 interconnected parts with each part informing the next. Firstly I present a review of current imaging modalities, recent advancements and their roles in the management of AF and HFpEF. Having reviewed the landscape of current advances and how they may contribute to management of the current epidemics of HFpEF, AF, in part 2, I seek to address some barriers and limitations:
1.) Availability, cost and speed of CMR,
2.) The limitations of CMR in evaluating diastolic function in HFpEF
3.) The need to assess atrial function non-invasively and predict AF using atrial strain
Which is currently limited by
a.) by a lack of consensus on normal references ranges for atrial strain
b.) A lack of understanding about inter vendor and inter modality differences
Finally, in part 3, informed by the literature reviews and validation data, I seek to employ 2 advances (namely, atrial strain and Hand Held ultrasonography (HHU)) to demonstrate improved efficiency based on information gained, improved service delivery and reduced cost.
All statistical analysis was performed on IBM SPSS Statistics version 24 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA), R (The R project) and correlation/ Bland-Altman plots were created on MedCalc® Version 17.9.7(MedCalc Ostend, Belgium).
The literature reviews show that in addition to the existing role of echocardiography there is a growing body of evidence for the role of Cardiac CT in the management of AF and an underutilised role for CMR in the diagnosis, phenotyping and management…

▼ Medical imaging has seen a rapid development in its clinical use in assessment of treatment outcome, disease monitoring and diagnosis over the last few decades. Yet, the vast amount of available image data limits the practical use of this potentially very valuable source of information for radiologists and physicians. Therefore, the design of computer-aided medical image analysis is of great importance to imaging in clinical practice. This thesis deals with the problem of deformable image registration in the context of lung imaging, and addresses three of the major challenges involved in this challenging application, namely: designing an image similarity for multi-modal scans or scans of locally changing contrast, modelling of complex lung motion, which includes sliding motion, and approximately globally optimal mathematical optimisation to deal with large motion of small anatomical features. The two most important contributions made in this thesis are: the formulation of a multi-dimensional structural image representation, which is independent of modality, robust to intensity distortions and very discriminative for different image features, and a discrete optimisation framework, based on an image-adaptive graph structure, which enables a very efficient optimisation of large dense displacement spaces and deals well with sliding motion. The derived methods are applied to two different clinical applications in pulmonary image analysis: motion correction for breathing-cycle computed tomography (CT) volumes, and deformable multi-modal fusion of CT and magnetic resonance imaging chest scans. The experimental validation demonstrates improved registration accuracy, a high quality of the estimated deformations, and much lower computational complexity, all compared to several state-of-the-art deformable registration techniques.

LEARNINGAND CURRICULUM STUDIESWRITING MATTERS: UNDERSTANDING THE
WRITING PRACTICES OF FIVE YOUNG ADULTS SELF-IDENTIFYING ON THE
LGBTQ SPECTRUM (450 pp.)Dissertation Director: William Kist,
Ph.D.The purpose of this qualitative study was to further the
understanding of how LGBTQ self-identified young adults perceive
using writing and various forms of self-expression. Naturalistic
inquiry case study was applied to explore the participants’
experiences with writing/self-expression by addressing the
following questions: (a) What are the experiences of LGBTQ
self-identified young adults with writing/self-expression in and
out of the K–12 classroom and beyond? (b) In what ways are a
variety of modes and genres of writing used in the LGBTQ
youth/young adult community? Specifically, this study focused on
investigating these questions through the lens of Nel Noddings’
Ethics of Care to determine whether these individuals utilized
writing or other forms of expression as a self-care tool.
Participants were five young adults between the ages of 18–25 who
self-identified on the LGBTQ spectrum. Multiple data were
collected: journal entries, poetry, essays, articles, photographs,
drawings, and two 1-hour interviews with each participant.Results
revealed that LGBTQ students often experience a disruption in the
carer-cared for relationship between teachers and students and may
turn to writing and other
multi-modal forms of self-expression on
their own as a means of self-care. The implications for research
and instruction highlight the use of choice and a
multi-modal
approach to writing/composing in schools would be beneficial to all
students.

▼ A major goal of in vivo imaging is to obtain individualized structural, functional, and molecular information to provide personalized medicine. In particular, optical imaging uses non-ionizing radiation to provide functional information such as hemoglobin concentration and also visualize exogenous contrast agents as well as molecular and functional markers. Indeed, in vivo optical imaging extends across a wide range of applications, from cellular to organ levels. At high end of the spectrum, diffuse optical tomography (DOT) can penetrate up to 10 centimeters but only offer low-resolution images (> 5mm) due to highly scattering nature of the tissue. Significant effort has been spent on multi-modality imaging techniques to improve the resolution of DOT. While combining DOT with spatial information defined by a separate anatomical imaging modality is promising, there are many challenges and inaccuracies that arise with co-registration. However this can be overcome with a novel multi-modality imaging technique, Photo-Magnetic Imaging (PMI) which uses MRI as a detector to provide both high resolution anatomical and optical information. PMI takes advantage of the 3D measurement capabilities of MR thermometry (MRT) to non-invasively measure the temperature increase of the medium induced by a laser to acquire a temperature map of the entire volume. As DOT measures the photon flux only from the boundary, the major advantage of PMI is that high absorbing regions can be resolved directly from the high spatial resolution temperature map. These measurements can then be converted to obtain the optical absorption properties of the tissue using a reconstruction algorithm to model the light propagation and heat transfer in tissue. This thesis will present the development of the first preclinical in vivo small animal PMI system prototype using the safety standards set by the American National Standard Institution. To optimize the system for in vivo studies, a fast PMI reconstruction method was also developed to accelerate the original PMI reconstruction method ~1000 times faster. These promising results validated the practicality of PMI for preclinical studies and showed the potential of PMI for clinical studies. This led to the development of the first human PMI prototype for clinical breast studies.

▼ This thesis presents multimodality CMOS sensor and stimulator array for holistic cellular characterization and cell-based drug screening. Cells are the basic structural, functional, and biological units of all known living organisms. Understanding the physiological behaviors of living cells and tissues is a prerequisite to further advance bioscience and biotechnologies. However, cells are highly complex systems often with concurrent
multi-physics responses when subjected to external stimuli, which cannot be captured by conventional single-
modality sensors, e.g., with electrical or optical only detection. Furthermore, cell signals are often encoded by spatiotemporal dynamics and coupled by multiple cellular activities. Thus, there is an unmet need for new
multi-
modality sensor arrays comprised of pixels each capable of detecting
multi-physics cellular responses together with actuations. In this thesis, we demonstrate a fully integrated multimodality sensor and stimulator array in a standard CMOS process. The CMOS-based fully integrated cellular interfacing array can measure four different cell physiological parameters, i.e., extracellular potential recording, cellular impedance mapping, optical shadow imaging/bioluminescence imaging, and temperature monitoring in a real-time joint-
modality fashion together with biphasic current stimulation on the same cellular sample. Electrical measurements and extensive on-chip cultured cell-based experiments are performed to demonstrate the functionalities of the proposed
multi-
modality chip in holistic cell characterization and drug screening.

▼ Different medical imaging modalities provide complementary anatomical and functional information. One increasingly important use of such information is in the clinical management of cardiovascular disease. Multi-modality data is helping improve diagnosis accuracy, and individualize treatment. The Clinical Research Imaging Centre at the University of Edinburgh, has been involved in a number of cardiovascular clinical trials using longitudinal computed tomography (CT) and multi-parametric magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The critical image processing technique that combines the information from all these different datasets is known as image registration, which is the topic of this thesis. Image registration, especially multi-modality and multi-parametric registration, remains a challenging field in medical image analysis. The new registration methods described in this work were all developed in response to genuine challenges in on-going clinical studies. These methods have been evaluated using data from these studies. In order to gain an insight into the building blocks of image registration methods, the thesis begins with a comprehensive literature review of state-of-the-art algorithms. This is followed by a description of the first registration method I developed to help track inflammation in aortic abdominal aneurysms. It registers multi-modality and multi-parametric images, with new contrast agents. The registration framework uses a semi-automatically generated region of interest around the aorta. The aorta is aligned based on a combination of the centres of the regions of interest and intensity matching. The method achieved sub-voxel accuracy. The second clinical study involved cardiac data. The first framework failed to register many of these datasets, because the cardiac data suffers from a common artefact of magnetic resonance images, namely intensity inhomogeneity. Thus I developed a new preprocessing technique that is able to correct the artefacts in the functional data using data from the anatomical scans. The registration framework, with this preprocessing step and new particle swarm optimizer, achieved significantly improved registration results on the cardiac data, and was validated quantitatively using neuro images from a clinical study of neonates. Although on average the new framework achieved accurate results, when processing data corrupted by severe artefacts and noise, premature convergence of the optimizer is still a common problem. To overcome this, I invented a new optimization method, that achieves more robust convergence by encoding prior knowledge of registration. The registration results from this new registration-oriented optimizer are more accurate than other general-purpose particle swarm optimization methods commonly applied to registration problems. In summary, this thesis describes a series of novel developments to an image registration framework, aimed to improve accuracy, robustness and speed. The resulting registration framework was applied to, and validated by, different types of…

▼ Cardiometabolic disease, a condition characterized by
an abnormal metabolic phenotype,presents a major public health
burden, as it is a chronic condition that affects over 30%
ofAmerican adults. Currently it is believed that cardiometabolic
disease is caused bychronic over-nutrition and lack of exercise,
although the exact path of diseasedevelopment is still incompletely
understood. Recent improvements in the treatment ofcardiometabolic
disease and its downstream conditions, cardiovascular disease
anddiabetes, indicate the beneficial effects of early detection and
aggressive treatment.Strategies to detect changes in multiple organ
systems due to cardiometabolic diseasecould be used for earlier
diagnosis and provide information for targeted therapies toprevent
severe downstream consequences.This work seeks to develop
multimodality techniques to evaluate the effects ofcardiometabolic
disease and produce reliable biomarkers that may be used to
betterinform understanding and treatment of disease. First, it
presents a standardized magneticresonance spectroscopy technique to
quantify mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylationcapacity in
skeletal muscle. The spectroscopy technique is then used to
evaluate theeffects of cardiac rehabilitation exercise training in
patients with and without metabolicabnormalities. Second, a novel
multi-energy computed tomography method forquantification of
myocardial fibrosis is described. The pre-clinical development of
thecomputed tomography method and clinical validation of the
technique are presented.Together, the techniques developed and
described in this work present a multimodality,multiorgan approach
to characterize cardiometabolic health and disease.

▼ Cette thèse étudie les mécanismes de sélection de l'action et de choix de stratégie tels qu'ils apparaissent à travers des expériences animales et des enregistrements neurobiologiques. Nous proposons ensuite des modèles biologiquement plausibles de la sélection de l'action. L'objectif est de mieux comprendre le fonctionnement du cerveau chez les êtres vivants et de pouvoir endéduire des architectures de contrôle bio-inspirées, plus robustes et adaptées à l'environnement. Les modèles étudiés sont réalisés avec des réseaux de neurones artificiels, permettant de modéliser des régions cérébrales et ainsi pouvoir simuler le fonctionnement du cerveau, ce qui permet de tester nos hypothèses sur des robots et des agents virtuels.L'étude de la sélection de l'action pour des robots mobiles implique plusieurs approches. La sélection de l'action peut être étudiée du point de vue du choix entre plusieurs actions basiques, e.g. un choix binaire aller à gauche ou à droite. Ceci passe forcément par l'acquisition et la catégorisation d'instants et d'événements spéciaux, perçus ou effectués, qui représentent des contextes dans lesquels la perception change, le comportement est modifié ou bien la sélection est réalisée. Ainsi, la thèse traite aussi de l'acquisition, la catégorisation et l'encodage de ces événements importants dans la sélection del'action.Enfin, on s'intéressera à la sélection de l'action du point de vue de la sélection de stratégie. Les différents comportements peuvent être dirigés consciemment ou bien être des automatismes acquis avec l'habitude. Le but ici est d'explorer différentes approches pour que le robot puisse développer ces deux capacités, mais aussi d'étudier les interactions entre ces types de mécanismes dans la cadre de tâches de navigation.Les travaux de cette thèse se basent sur la modélisation du fonctionnement de différentes boucles hippocampo-cortico-basales impliquées dans des tâches de navigation, de sélection de l'action et de catégorisations multimodales. En particulier, nous avons un modèle de l'hippocampe permettant d'apprendre des associations spatio-temporelles et des conditionnements multimodaux entre des événements perceptifs. Il se base sur des associations sensorimotrices entre des cellules appelées cellules de lieu qui sont associées avec des actions pour définir des comportements cohérents. Le modèle fait aussi intervenir des cellules de transition hippocampiques, permettant de faire des prédictions temporelles sur les événements futurs. Celles-ci permettent l'apprentissagede séquences spatio-temporelles, notamment du fait qu'elles représentent le substrat neuronal à l'apprentissage d'une carte cognitive, située elle au niveau du cortex préfrontal et/ou pariétal.Ce type de carte permet de planifier des chemins à suivre en fonction des motivations du robot, ce qui permet de rejoindre différents buts précédemment découverts dans l'environnement.
This thesis aims at studying the different mechanisms involved in action selection and decision making processes, according to animal…

▼ Mammography is the current standard imaging method for detecting breast cancer by using x-rays to produce 2D images of the breast. However, with mammography alone there is difficulty determining whether a lesion is benign or malignant and reduced sensitivity to detecting lesions in dense breasts. Ultrasound imaging used in conjunction with mammography has shown valuable contributions for lesion characterization by differentiating between solid and cystic lesions. Conventional breast ultrasound has high false positive rates; however, it has shown improved abilities to detect lesions in dense breasts. Breast ultrasound is typically performed freehand to produce anterior-to-posterior 2D images in a different geometry (supine) than mammography (upright). This difference in geometries is likely responsible for the finding that at least 10% of the time lesions found in the ultrasound images do not correspond with lesions found in mammograms. To solve this problem additional imaging techniques must be investigated to aid a radiologist in identifying corresponding lesions in the two modalities to ensure early detection of a potential cancer.
This dissertation describes and validates automated deformable mapping methods to register and relate corresponding lesions between
multi-
modality images acquired using 3D mammography (Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) and dedicated breast Computed Tomography (bCT)) and 3D ultrasound (Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS)). The methodology involves the use of finite element modeling and analysis to simulate the differences in compression and breast orientation to better align lesions acquired from images from these modalities. Preliminary studies were performed using several multimodality compressible breast phantoms to determine breast lesion registrations between: i) cranio-caudal (CC) and mediolateral oblique (MLO) DBT views and ABUS, ii) simulated bCT and DBT (CC and MLO views), and iii) simulated bCT and ABUS. Distances between the centers of masses, dCOM, of corresponding lesions were used to assess the deformable mapping method.
These phantom studies showed the potential to apply this technique for real breast lesions with mean dCOM registration values as low as 4.9 ± 2.4 mm for DBT (CC view) mapped to ABUS, 9.3 ± 2.8 mm for DBT (MLO view) mapped to ABUS, 4.8 ± 2.4 mm for bCT mapped to ABUS, 5.0 ± 2.2 mm for bCT mapped to DBT (CC view), and 4.7 ± 2.5 mm for bCT mapped to DBT (MLO view). All of the phantom studies showed that using external fiducial markers helped improve the registration capability of the deformable mapping algorithm. An IRB-approved proof-of-concept study was performed with patient volunteers to validate the deformable registration method on 5 patient datasets with a total of up to 7 lesions for DBT (CC and MLO views) to ABUS registration. Resulting dCOM’s using the deformable method showed statistically significant improvements over rigid registration techniques with a mean dCOM of 11.6 ± 5.3 mm for DBT (CC view) mapped to ABUS and a mean dCOM of 12.3 ± 4.8 mm…

▼ Au cours des dernières décennies, la présence des auralisations dans l’acoustique architecturale et la réalité virtuelle est devenue de plus en plus importante. De nombreuses applications en découlent, telles que les explorations de la réalité virtuelle multimodale ou les études de l’influence acoustique des rénovations et la recherche historique. Malgré ces nombreux cas d’utilisation, peu d’études scientifiques ont été réalisées sur le sujet. L’objectif de cette thèse était donc d’examiner l’utilisation d’auralisations acoustiques de salles, basées sur l’acoustique géométrique (GA) comme outil scientifique et visant à aider à la création d’auralisations historiquement exactes plus écologiquement valables. Déjà dans les années 1930 les premières tentatives ont été entreprises pour rendre audible (de manière imaginaire) les champs sonores. Les développements au cours des 80 dernières années ont conduit à des améliorations significatives des auralisations. Aujourd’hui, si l’on veut créer des auralisations, l’enregistrement anéchoïque réalisé préalablement doit être convolué avec une réponse impulsionnelle ambiante, mesurée ou simulée (RIR). Les logiciels GA sont souvent utilisés pour calculer numériquement la RIR de géométries compliquées. Les méthodes basées sur les ondes sont gourmandes en calcul, nécessitant des modèles géométriques complexes et des données d’entrée complexes. Cette thèse vise à améliorer la qualité des auralisations entièrement calculées. À cette fin, on a étudié l’étalonnage des modèles acoustiques des salles et l’inclusion de la directivité vocale dynamique. Des mesures acoustiques de la pièce ont été réalisées dans quatre salles et des modèles d’acoustique géométrique ont été créés des mêmes espaces. Une procédure méthodique de calibration du modèle a été proposée, réalisée dans les quatre salles, et validée au préalable par comparaison d’estimation de paramètres. Des tests d’écoute subjectifs comparant des auralisations mesurée set simulées pour trois espaces différents ont révélé que les auralisations étaient également perçues pour huit attributs acoustiques évalués. Par la suite, un cadre permettant d’inclure la directivité vocale dynamique a été présenté. Les résultats des tests d’écoute ont montré des différences perceptuelles entre la directivité vocale dynamique et la directivité de source statique pour la plausibilité, l’enveloppement de l’auralisation ainsi que la largeur perçue de la source. L’amélioration de la validité écologique des auralisations a permis d’étudier l’influence des visualisations sur l’expérience acoustique, avec un degré de confiance raisonnable que les effets perçus sont également applicables dans des situations réelles. À cet effet, un cadre a été établi qui a permis des évaluations multimodales de pièces de théâtre et de concerts. Les résultats d’un test d’écoute
multi-modal présentant une scène cohérente visuelle-sonore ont confirmé les différences perceptuelles entre les auralisations de directivité vocale dynamique et statique. Dans ce même cadre, un second…

▼ Cancer has become a large threat to people’s health and lives in the world. It is very important if we can achieve the early diagnosis of cancer, which can significantly reduce cancer mortality and improve the life quality of patients. Nanotechnology is currently widely used in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Nanometer-sized Quantum Dots have intrinsic optical, electronic, and structural properties therefore they have found many applications in the bio-medical imaging field. For better applications, we need the QDs to have excellent water-stability, biocompatibility and even targeting ability. Here, we design and develop novel biocompatible Hyaluronic acid polymer coated QDs for CD44+ cancer targeted imaging. The resulted QDs not only have good water solubility, biocompatibility, strong stability, but also achieved CD44 receptor targeted cancer cell imaging. The development of
multi-modal imaging equipment requires the design for
multi-
modality imaging probes. We synthesized DTPA and DOTA chelating agent conjugated hyaluronic acid, which can couple magnetic resonance imaging elements-Gd, and PET isotopes-Cu respectively to make a NIR / MR or NIR / PET dual-
modality imaging probes. The
multi-
modality imaging probe holds the ability for fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging and PET imaging which can complement the advantages of different imaging
modality and help to enhance tumor identification and diagnostic capabilities. We expect our novel method to have broad applications in biomedical imaging research, for the realization of precise diagnosis of tumors, as well as to promote personalized medicine.

▼ 3D Tele-immersion (3DTI) technology allows full-body,
multi-modal content delivery among geographically dispersed users. In 3DTI, user’s 3D model will be captured by multiple RGB-D (color plus depth) cameras surround- ing user’s body. In addition, various sensors (e.g., motion sensors, medical sensors, wearable gaming consoles, etc.) specified by the application will be included to deliver a
multi-modal experience.
In a traditional 2D live video streaming system, the interactivity of end users, choosing a specified viewpoint, has been crippled by the fact that they can only choose to see the physical scene captured by a physical camera, but not between two physical cameras. However, 3DTI system makes it possible rendering a 3D space where the viewers can view physical scene from arbitrary viewpoint.
In this thesis, we present systematic solutions of omnidirectional view in 3D tele-immersion system in a real-time manner and in an on-demand streaming manner, called FreeViewer and OmniViewer, respectively. we provide a complete
multi-modal 3D video streaming/rendering solution, which achieves the feature of omnidirectional view in monoscopic 3D systems.

▼ Remaining questions and current goals in the treatment of rectal cancer include optimizing staging accuracy, establishing the optimal neoadjuvant strategy to be implemented in the different stages of rectal cancer and possibly leading to the evidence-based introduction of organ sparing and non-operative strategies in selected patients. Furthermore, adverse effects of new multi-modality treatments need to be investigated to properly inform patients. Correlating histopathological response to outcome will provide information on efficacy of new neoadjuvant therapies, factors governing distant metastases and potential consequences of scaling down treatment approaches to avoid surgery.
