Precise imaging in oncological research is a key method to measure efficacy of therapeutic procedures. In routine clinical practice, time on high-end imaging devices is scarce. Therefore, the NCT/UCC Imaging Platform has the aim to perform high quality anatomical and functional imaging within preclinical research, clinical trials or prospective registries. Therefore the Core Unit Imaging supports projects on preclinical questions, their translation into clinical context, technical development of imaging acquisition and imaging in clinical trials.
