From DIAG
Diagnostic Image Analysis Group
The Diagnostic Image Analysis Group is part of the Department of Radiology of Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre. We develop computer algorithms to aid clinicians in the interpretation of medical images and thereby improve the diagnostic process.
The group has its roots in computer-aided detection of breast cancer in mammograms, and we have expanded to computer-aided detection and computer-aided diagnosis in breast MRI, ultrasound and tomosynthesis, chest radiographs, chest CT, prostate MRI, neuro-imaging and retinal images.
On this site you find an overview of people working in the group, current projects, publications and information for those interested to join our team.

Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in men. At DIAG we are developing a CAD system that can detect prostate cancer in MRI studies. The left image shows an image from a typical T2-weighted MR series where a cancer is circled. The center image shows initial cancer likelihood on a per voxel basis. The right image shows the final output of the CAD system, where the cancer is segmented and a probability is given. This work was presented by Geert Litjens at the SPIE Medical Imaging Conference in February, 2012. More... |
