• Public-private consortium also focuses on training engineers, top researchers and doctors
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU), Utrecht University, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and Philips today announced their intention to share their knowledge, expertise and capacity for innovation to research and develop new methods for disease diagnosis and treatment based on medical imaging. Through the establishment of the Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging (IDII), they will focus on more effective treatments for cancer, brain disease and cardio-vascular disease. This public-private partnership is essential to speeding up the development and use of new medical solutions that aim to improve patient care and make it more cost-efficient.
The consortium will focus on the development of new image-guided minimally-invasive treatments based on MRI and X-ray imaging. The 2-D, 3-D and 4-D (3-D + time) images that can be produced using these imaging technologies are already providing doctors with an increased amount of meaningful information about each patient. The consortium aims to further develop this medical information and use it in new treatment methods. It also intends to develop new navigation technologies with the objective to make minimally-invasive procedures more precise and less complex.
