Introduction

HOME

The Centre for Medical Imaging (CMI) is founded by the MIRA Institute of the University of Twente, University Medical Centre Groningen, University Groningen and Siemens. CMI is focused on the use of current and new imaging technologies to address clinic demands for early diagnosis, early intervention, and minimally-invasive therapies. CMI is focused on the following clinical areas and imaging technologies:

·	Clinical areas: Oncology, Cardiovascular diseases, and Neural and Neuromuscular diseases.

·	Imaging Technologies: Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance, Optics, X-ray, Molecular Imaging

CMI will be located in “The Gallery” at the campus of the University of Twente by 2013. The new CMI location will also house state-of-the-art imaging scanners from Siemens (including PET-MRI, 3 Telsa MRI, and CT Flash) and a hybrid operation room. These facilities are available for education, professional training, research activities, and also patient care. CMI Members (i.e. biomedical scientist, engineers, clinicians and companies) can use these facilities and work together to develop new tools, products, medical diagnosis and treatments.
