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.

By combining smart algorithms with biomedical images we can truly improve the treatment of cancer patients

Groundbreaking research in image-guided therapy

In this video, physicians and researchers at the Netherlands Cancer Institute show how they are looking to improve image-guided therapy. What can they do, and which questions are still left unanswered? Medical imaging displays a wealth of information that can improve the precision and personalization of cancer treatment. Image-guided therapy means using imaging to get the right therapy to the right patient. The Netherlands Cancer Institute aims to create better and more treatments for patients through scientific research.
