Quantifying tumour heterogeneity with CT

Balaji Ganeshan, Kenneth A. Miles · 1 Jan 2013

Heterogeneity is a key feature of malignancy associated with adverse tumour biology. Quantifying heterogeneity could provide a useful non-invasive imaging biomarker. Heterogeneity on computed tomography (CT) can be quantified using texture analysis which extracts spatial information from CT images (unenhanced, contrast-enhanced and derived images such as CT perfusion) that may not be perceptible to the…

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and its application to cancer

Elizabeth Charles-Edwards · 1 Jan 2006

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) provides image contrast through measurement of the diffusion properties of water within tissues. Application of diffusion sensitising gradients to the MR pulse sequence allows water molecular displacement over distances of 1-20 microm to be recognised. Diffusion can be predominantly unidirectional (anisotropic) or not (isotropic). Combining images obtained with different amounts…

Ultrasound of malignant cervical lymph nodes

Anil T. Ahuja · 1 Jan 2008

Malignant lymph nodes in the neck include metastases and lymphoma. Cervical nodal metastases are common in patients with head and neck cancers, and their assessment is important as it affects treatment planning and prognosis. Neck nodes are also a common site of lymphomatous involvement and an accurate diagnosis is essential as its treatment differs from…

Texture analysis of non-small cell lung cancer on unenhanced computed tomography: initial evidence for a relationship with tumour glucose metabolism and stage

Balaji Ganeshan, Sandra Abaleke, Rupert Young et al. · 1 Jan 2010

The aim was to undertake an initial study of the relationship between texture features in computed tomography (CT) images of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and tumour glucose metabolism and stage. This retrospective pilot study comprised 17 patients with 18 pathologically confirmed NSCLC. Non-contrast-enhanced CT images of the primary pulmonary lesions underwent texture analysis in…

CT texture analysis using the filtration-histogram method: what do the measurements mean?

Kenneth A. Miles, Balaji Ganeshan, Michael P. Hayball · 1 Jan 2013

Analysis of texture within tumours on computed tomography (CT) is emerging as a potentially useful tool in assessing prognosis and treatment response for patients with cancer. This article illustrates the image and histological features that correlate with CT texture parameters obtained from tumours using the filtration-histogram approach, which comprises image filtration to highlight image features…

Cancer Imaging template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Cancer Imaging format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Cancer Imaging template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Cancer Imaging use?
Cancer Imaging uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. Cancer Imaging. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Cancer Imaging?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready Cancer Imaging document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Cancer Imaging template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Cancer Imaging format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Cancer Imaging?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready Cancer Imaging PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Cancer Imaging template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Cancer Imaging template cost?
You can start writing in the Cancer Imaging template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Cancer Imaging PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
