Welcome to the INSpiRe Lab, where cutting-edge MRI technologies and pioneering research in neuroimaging and spectroscopy drive advancements in patient care for neuro-oncology. Explore how we are making waves in neuro-oncology diagnostics and treatment through advanced imaging methods.
Illustration of a future AI-driven workflow for diagnosing and monitoring brain cancer. It highlights how advanced MRI and PET imaging techniques, such as tracking changes in brain structure, metabolism, and blood flow, can help distinguish true tumor growth (TP) from treatment effects like pseudo-progression (PsP) in glioblastoma patients.
Compared to standard methods (blue), the advanced spectroscopy techniques at INSpiRe Lab (red) provide a more complete and detailed view of brain tumors—capturing their full extent and metabolic profile for better diagnosis and treatment planning.
Workflow showing how a prediction model is built to distinguish true tumor progression (TP) from treatment effects (PsP), then tested for accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC on independent data.
Histograms show how imaging parameters differ between true tumor progression (TP) and treatment effects (PsP), with TP showing higher peaks, broader distributions, and greater maximum values.
