Non-Invasive Determination of Breast Cancer Oxygen Tension by F-l9 NMR and Breast Cancer Physiology in Response to Radiotherapy

Abstract

The goals of this fellowship are to provide with the solid and extensive training and valuable experience in a modern NMR laboratory for a career as a clinical medical physicist and a breast cancer research scientist and to develop and investigate a non-invasive technique of measuring oxygen tension in breast cancer based on 19F MRI of hexafluorobenzene (HFB). In terms of training, I have learned tumor biology, surgical techniques for implanting breast tumors, MRI data acquisitions, digital signal and image processing, and operation of advanced instruments.
