成人大片

Cutting-edge medical research carried out at the 成人大片 has been awarded prizes for excellence in the prestigious 2023 Australian Museum Eureka Prizes. Two projects won awards for innovative medical imaging techniques to help treat children with cystic fibrosis and for the improved diagnosis of endometriosis using artificial intelligence.

鈥淚 congratulate our dedicated 成人大片 researchers who are being recognised for their outstanding work in delivering technological advancements in the medical sciences,鈥� said Professor Anton Middelberg, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research) at the 成人大片.

鈥淭hese projects focus on the development of cutting-edge medical techniques designed to deliver real-world positive outcomes to people in Australia and across the world. These achievements showcase the remarkable research being undertaken every day at the 成人大片.鈥�

The winning 成人大片 projects were awarded within the Research and Innovation Category.

The Cystic Fibrosis Lung Health Imaging project听from the 成人大片; Women's and Children's Hospital, Adelaide; 4D Medical Pty Ltd; and Monash University was awarded the Aspire Scholarship Eureka Prize for Excellence in Interdisciplinary Scientific Research.

The project is led by the 成人大片鈥檚 Associate Professor听David Parsons from Adelaide Medical School and Robinson Research Institute.

To treat children with cystic fibrosis (CF), it is critical to know the location and extent of abnormal airflow. Combining expertise across physics, medicine and engineering, this interdisciplinary team developed a novel medical imaging method called X-ray Velocimetry (XV). With further development it promises to help detect, treat and monitor CF and other lung diseases.

鈥淲e are so pleased that the interdisciplinary research work undertaken by our team across engineering, physics, X-ray imaging, image analysis, lung medicine, and cystic fibrosis, has been recognised by the Eureka judges.鈥� said Associate Professor Parsons.

鈥淴V lung imaging holds real potential for detecting the earliest beginnings of lung disease in very young children with CF, something that has not been possible with the existing lung health tests. Since XV can show exactly where in the lung disease is beginning, it means prevention of disease can become a reality, by precisely targeting treatment to just those areas affected, before disease can establish,鈥� said Associate Professor Martin Donnelley, who also works on the project.

Both experts are so committed to the successful outcomes of this new technology that they have personally invested in 4DMedical, the company that has translated XV imaging into a clinical tool.

鈥淭hese projects focus on the development of cutting-edge medical techniques designed to deliver real-world positive outcomes to people in Australia and across the world. These achievements showcase the remarkable research being undertaken every day at the 成人大片.鈥�Professor Anton Middelberg, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research) at the 成人大片

The IMAGENDO team from the 成人大片 and OMNI Ultrasound and Gynaecological Care, led by Professor Louise Hull from the University's Robinson Research Institute.

The IMAGENDO team听from the 成人大片 and OMNI Ultrasound and Gynaecological Care, led by Professor Louise Hull from the Robinson Research Institute, was awarded the ANSTO Eureka Prize for Innovative Use of Technology.

Endometriosis affects one in nine Australian women and people assigned female at birth, who experience significant pain and economic impacts during the six or more years it takes to receive a diagnosis.

IMAGENDO is building innovative artificial intelligence capabilities to pair with MRI and ultrasound technology that, with further development, will provide rapid, non-invasive diagnosis.

鈥淚 wish to thank the Australian Museum and Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) for awarding our project this Eureka Prize,鈥� said Professor Hull from the University鈥檚 Robinson Research Institute.

鈥淭his acknowledgement that one in ten women, and people assigned female at birth, greatly require a non-surgical test for diagnosing endometriosis supports the entire endometriosis community. The scientific novelty in using AI in more than one imaging modality has also now been recognised.

鈥淚 work with an amazing, creative, enthusiastic, young team from across Australia, the UK and North America who are dedicated to improving the diagnosis of endometriosis. With the support of the Robinson Research Institute and the 成人大片, our team is being seen nationally and internationally as contributing to the rapidly changing way we are diagnosing and treating endometriosis.鈥�

The Australian Museum Eureka Prizes are the country鈥檚 most comprehensive national science awards, honouring excellence across the areas of research and innovation, leadership, science engagement, and school science.

The Eureka Prizes are presented annually in partnership with some of the nation's leading scientific institutions, government organisations, universities and corporations. They aim to raise the profile of science and science engagement in the community by celebrating outstanding achievement.
