April 7, 2022: We are excited to share that the
Radboudumc hospital has now installed the first dedicated breast CT system optimized for 4-dimensional breast imaging in the world! With this system, our
AXTI group will develop dedicated breast dynamic CT perfusion imaging with very high temporal and spatial resolutions. This imaging method will allow us to make major breakthroughs in breast cancer care, especially for personalized treatment. The installation of this hardware is a big step forward in our
European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant BREAST4D. In this project, we will combine this hardware with our newly-developed image reconstruction, correction, processing, and analysis algorithms, resulting in 4D movies of the tumor perfusion process.
We would like to thank the
Koning Corporation engineering team for their hard work, working with us in developing this new system to our requirements and dismantling the old breast CT and assembling the new one in only 3 days!
