Nederlands Leuvens Longkanker Screenings Onderzoek (NELSON) is a collaboration between Erasmus MC Rotterdam, UMC Utrecht, UMC Groningen, Kennemer Gasthuis Haarlem in the Netherlands and University Hospital Leuven in Belgium. The consortium conducts a large-scale trial using multidetector computed tomography (CT) for lung cancer screening. The purpose of the NELSON screening ...
CMINEN will focus on breast, lung and prostate cancer. There are two major strategies that are likely to reduce cancer morbidity and mortality. The first is early detection, which will make curative treatment easier to apply, and the second is personalized (patient-tailored) tumor treatment.
Anatomical imaging techniques such as ...
Cardiovascular complications were the second most significant cause of death in the Netherlands in 2007 (more than 30% of all deaths were attributable to cardiovascular diseases). There are two important strategies to reduce these numbers. One is early detection and prevention, the other is improving tailored-made treatment strategies.
Developments in ...
Currently, most research on neuro(muscular) diseases focuses on the fundamental understanding of the brain. This field of research will continue to advance rapidly as a result of improving capabilities of neuroimaging methods and techniques. The extensive data provided by improved medical imaging expands the knowledge of the function and ...
In the broad range of applications of superparamagnetic nanoparticles, especially in medicine, the research within this project is focused on the use of these particles as a tracer for sentinel lymph node detection. Sentinel lymph node detection is a procedure very often used in breast cancer patients, but it is ...
Goal
The goal of the Minimally Invasive Robotics In An MR environment, MIRIAM, project is to develop new solutions for minimally invasive surgical procedures in an MR environment. These solutions comprise the development of an MR compatible robotic manipulator with applications for diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, advanced planning ...
The main goal of this research program is to develop a reliable non-invasive procedure for in-vivo analysis of the sentinel node to support the treatment of breast cancer. The procedure is based on magnetic particles that are already approved as contrast materials for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and will be ...
The goal of ViP-Brain Networks is to develop innovative integrated technological & imaging aids for the prevention, diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation of ischeamic disorders of the human brain.
A proper supply of oxygen rich blood is essential for the functioning of the human body and several organs. Oxygen shortage ...
Prostate cancer is one of the most frequently occurring type of cancer in men. One out of five Dutch men is diagnosed with prostate cancer during his life. The social-economic impact is enormous. In order to control the rising costs of health care and to increase the health and quality ...
ENACT stands for Enabling Communication Technology. The ENACT project focuses on the use of informatics concepts, informatics thinking, informatics design and implementation and informatics analysis in medicine in general, and radiological imaging in particular. It will enable a patient-centric, evidence-based, healthcare delivery environment, which promotes and enhances patient safety and ...
On December 4, 2012, our yearly Event took place in the University Medical Center Groningen. This year's topic was PET-MRI.
The University of Twente is developing a method for detecting prostate cancer both more accurately and earlier and without the need for a painful biopsy. This project will become part of the Center for Medical Imaging North East Netherlands (CMINEN), where medical research, education and outpatient treatment will be ...
