The Biomedical MR research group is one of the research groups at the department of Radiology, Radiotherapy and Anatomy of the Radboudumc, university hospital connected to Radboud University (RU). The aim of this group is to exploit the exquisite capabilities of MR in “molecular” and “biological” imaging to address biomedical questions and problems.

• Search for quantitative biomarkers with advanced MRI methods for improved diagnosis, staging, and assessment of aggressiveness of localized prostate cancer (extrapolation to other cancers)
• Development and evaluation of advanced MRI techniques for advanced (oligometastatic and castrate-resistant) prostate cancer
• Development and validation of nanoparticle-enhanced MRI in prostate, rectal, H&N, and upper abdominal cancers.
• Implementation of 3D motion-incorporating MRI in the abdomen (quantitative T2*, water/fat, T1)
