Our research lines on MRI guided radiotherapy are listed on the left. Please click one of the research lines.
The Centre of Image Guided Oncological Interventions (Centrum voor Beeldgestuurde Oncologische Interventies, CBOI) is under development. The new building (lower image) will be ready in the spring of 2013.
Within this centre the newest MRI guided cancer treatments are being investigated in a close collaboration between Radiotherapy, Radiology and our industrial partners (Elekta, Philips and Nucletron). Examples are (i) the development of the MRI Linac (MRL) system for real time and on-line MRI guidance of external beam radiotherapy. (ii) the MRI guided brachytherapie, (iii) MRI based tumour characterization, delineation and treatment response assessment, (iv) the MRI guided high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for tumour ablation and medicine deposition. (v) MRI guided radioembolization of liver tumours using Holmium microspheres.
