The neuroradiology division is involved in multiple research projects including:

Head and neck cancer 

• predictive role of perfusion CT
• predictive role of CT for residual nodal disease following (chemo) radiation
• correlation of PET-CT and perfusion CT
• refining and optimizing PET-CT studies
• thyroid cancer risks during CT perfusion studies of the neck
• establishing criteria for extracapsular spread of metastatic nodal disease
• predictive role of extracapsular spread – possible staging adjustment

Brain tumors

• predictive role of perfusion MRI
• comparison of MR contrast agents

Cerebrovascular

• multicentric study on patients with intracranial vascular stenosis
• MR angiograms for embolized cerebral aneurysms
• comparison of patient radiation doses with CTA and DSA

Spine

• optimization of spinal MRA
• perfusion CT of the spinal cord
• spinal cord perfusion CT changes with radiation treatment of the head and neck

CT

• detail detection on head CT
• portable head CT imaging
• estimating organ doses at head and neck CT

MRI

• comparison of different ways of performing brain perfusion MRI
• evaluation of brain radiation effects
