Rijksuniversiteit Groningen

The RUG/UMCG focuses on healthy aging in all priority areas: research, clinical care and education. This study fits excellent in the research lines of the Medical Imaging Center (MIC) and the CardioVascular Center (CVC-GUIDE). The MIC investigates minimally to non-invasive medical imaging techniques and imaging biomarkers, improves existing technologies and optimizes their integrated use. CVC-GUIDE has as central theme to improve care for patients with heart disease and to prolong the heart disease free interval in healthy aging subjects. Within these research programs, there is a wealth of knowledge on imaging and cardiovascular disease at every level, namely clinical, experimental, epidemiological and translational.

Siemens Healthineers

Siemens Healthineers offers state-of-the-art imaging solutions to visualize the biological processes of life aiming to support early detection, accurate diagnosis and targeted therapy. They continuously focus on innovation striving to improve their product to meet the clinical- and economic challenges that healthcare professionals face. With their new ultra-low-dose CT technique, Siemens Healthineers ambition to minimize dose exposure for patients while still gaining high quality CT images. Their lT solutions provide advanced visualization and analysis tools to interpret the imaging data. As the resolution of images from ultra-low-dose CT is lower than conventional CT images, the development of lT solutions to improve data visualisation and analysis is particularly important.

Universiteit Twente

The focus of Health Technology and Services Research (HTSR) lies in the assessment of use, advantages, and disadvantages, of health technologies from the patients’ and societal perspective. This includes research into the effect of a new technology on clinical and health outcomes, quality and safety of healthcare, delivery of health services, and the associated healthcare costs. HTSR is embedded in MIRA, which is the University of Twente’s Institute for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine. This unique scientific path stimulates successful application of fundamental concepts and enables healthcare to rapidly introduce new treatments. MIRA aims to provide ‘Top Technology for Patients’. MIRA has appointed clinical professors who formulate clinical research questions and translate MIRA’s technology to the clinic. Another important mainstay of MIRA’s is entrepreneurship, in order to ensure patients benefit from scientific knowledge and technology.
