Automated Registration of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced DCE-MRI Cardiac Perfusion Achieves Comparable Diagnostic Accuracy to Manual Motion Correction: a CE-MARC sub-study
(University of Canterbury. UC High Performance Computing, 2014)The human interaction required for manual motion correction/contouring of cardiac perfusion series remains a significant obstacle to quantitative perfusion gaining a wider acceptance in clinical practice. The use of ... -
Registration of Coronary MRA to DCE-MRI Myocardial Perfusion Series Improves Diagnostic Accuracy Through the Computation of Patient-Specific Coronary Supply Territories: A CE-MARC Sub-Study
(University of Canterbury. UC High Performance Computing, 2014)Background: It is generally acknowledged that the 17-segment AHA model provides a suitable approximation for mapping the results of X-ray angiography onto myocardial anatomy in a consistent way in the absence of a more ... -
Three sites and you are out: Ternary synergistic allostery controls aromatic amino acid biosynthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
(University of Canterbury. Biomolecular Interaction Centre, 2013)3-Deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase (DAH7PS) catalyzes the first step in the shikimate pathway, the pathway responsible for the biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acids Trp, Phe, and Tyr. Unlike many ... -

A Comparison of Methods for Automated Motion Correction of DCE-MRI Perfusion Datasets Evaluated in Terms of Diagnostic Accuracy: A CE-MARC sub-study
(University of Canterbury. UC High Performance Computing, 2014)Automated mage registration in cardiac myocardial perfusion is a necessity before quantitative perfusion can be widely accepted in clinical practice. Increasingly complex motion correction algorithms are being developed to ... -
Mine remediation in New Zealand: Lessons from the (recent) past
(University of Canterbury. Waterways Centre for Freshwater Management, 2015)Two mines closed within 25yrs of each other, but with very different rehabilitation approaches. Lack of rehabilitation has led to serious, long term sediment contamination at Tui… particularly Mn, Cd and Zn Similar ... -
An investigation into the southward migration of the Waimakariri River mouth
