Cardio Vascular Imaging Group (CVIG)

Embedded in the LUMC Department of Radiology, the Cardio Vascular Imaging Group (CVIG) performs scientific research in the field of cardiovascular imaging in relation to (ectopic) fat distribution, liver, kidney, pancreas and brain. The CVIG houses >20 PhD students and 6 senior researchers.

Main focus is on the development of MR and CT imaging techniques with rapid conversion to clinical application, including solutions for clinical communication, ultra-low-dose CT, spectral CT, 4D-Flow, molecular and metabolic imaging, 3D imaging, rapid acquisition techniques and MR spectroscopy. The CVIG also has a strong focus on development and clinical implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support radiological workflow.

The CVIG has 5 sections:
