New Interventional Oncology Research Program Launched

One of the world’s largest international medical imaging companies has entered into a new cancer research program with leading innovators to explore innovative image-guided therapies, and diagnostic imaging and informatics solutions.

The new multi-year program is part of an existing master research agreement with a leading medical school, and is intended to help find ways to improve cancer care using medical imaging for localization and quantification of the disease, therapy planning, and treatment guidance and assessment.

The agreement is between Royal Philips (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) and the Yale School of Medicine (New Haven, CT, USA).

Philips develops and manufactures diagnostic imaging equipment including Computed Tomography (CT), ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners, image-guided therapy solutions, and related health informatics solutions for the acquisition, integration, and analysis of the data.
