Pioneering Therapies with Interventional Radiology
Pioneering Therapies with Interventional Radiology

The days when radiologists were only involved in diagnosis are long over. Modern medicine requires interventional radiologists to use their specialist knowledge of image-guidance (X-ray, CT, MR) to perform procedures which are extraordinarily precise, and thus gentle on the patient.

Local Chemotherapy Delivery to Tumours
Local Chemotherapy Delivery to Tumours

Royal Philips Electronics and Eindhoven University of Technology announced an important development in MRI-guided local drug delivery for cancer treatment. Image-guided drug delivery has been studied by scientists all around the world for almost a decade because it may enable a beneficial increase in tumor chemotherapy drug levels, thereby increasing treatment efficacy without an increase in adverse side effects. The joint research team has now demonstrated in pre-clinical studies that an improved local drug uptake in tumors is achieved, and that it can be visualised and measured in real time.
