In a preventive setting, in T1D patients still free of complications, the research of non-pharmacological interventions to improve endothelial function appears fundamental. In this randomized controlled trial, the effects of exercise training on endothelial function will …
Cortical transit time on diuretic renogram as an early marker of significant obstruction in antenatally detected uretero-pelvic junction syndrome
Healthy volunteers aged 18-85 will undergo hyperpolarized 129-Xe MRI and pulmonary function testing for the development of tools to assess image signal to noise and reproducibility of spin-density and diffusion-weighted imaging.

Low grade gliomas (LGGs) are malignant, infiltrative and incurable brain tumours that typically present in the younger population. This project proposes to use non-contrast metabolic "Saturation Transfer" (ST)-MRI to evaluate LGG tumour progression and aims to predict early changes in LGG. Early identification of LGG patients whose tumours will progress …
