Prof. CAI Jing, Management Committee Member of the Research Institute for Smart Ageing (RISA), Associate Dean of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences and Professor in the Department of Health Technology and Informatics, developed a Contrast-Free Virtual Enhancement MRI System that revolutionises the precision of tumour treatment by providing high-resolution imaging without the use of contrast agents.
The system leverages advanced algorithms and innovative imaging techniques to precisely visualise tumours, thus facilitating treatment planning and accurate monitoring. The system offers advantages in terms of patient safety, cost-effectiveness and enhanced accuracy. It eliminates the use of contrast agents, thereby prioritising patient well-being and minimising potential health and safety risks in tumour detection and treatment. The enhanced accuracy of tumour visualisation improves treatment outcomes and patient care.
The novel system sets a new standard for non-invasive, safe and highly accurate tumour imaging. It advances the field of precision medicine and improves patient outcomes in the fight against cancer. The system has been patented to MedVision Limited, a PolyU start-up, for distribution.
