Radiology
The radiology department is involved in examinations that involve imaging, image guided diagnostics, and treatment. In collaboration with the Nuclear medicine department, we take and analyze PET/CT scans. Diagnostic examinations are important to reach the right diagnosis, to find a fitting treatment, and to assess whether the treatment is effective.
Our team
Approximately 30 radiologists work in our Radiology department, together with 45 radiographers, 8 assistants, 13 medical administrative employees, and 4 archival employees.
What can we do for you?
- Making and analyzing medical imaging: X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasounds, mammograms.
- Image-guided diagnostics: liquid biopsies and tissue biopsies.
- Image-guided treatment: ablations, embolizations.
- Abscess drainage (relief in the case of infection liquid buildup) or placing stents.
- We play a vital role in rapid diagnostics at the Netherlands Cancer Institute.
