Image-guided Therapy

Thanks to faster and clearer medical imaging techniques, surgeries and radiation treatments are growing increasingly precise. We can now create accurate three-dimensional images of the patient’s anatomy in order to determine the tumor’s location, size, biological qualities, and environment.

The Netherlands Cancer Institute is a leading party in the development and application of the newest image-guided techniques. Through new developments in quantitative imaging techniques, biomarker discovery, and artificial intelligence, we aim to be able to track the tumor in place, time and function over the course of the entire treatment, and to adapt the treatment accordingly.
