AI for Imaging & Image-Guided Interventions Lab (completed)

Jump to

*After 5 successful years, this lab has reached its completion and has now transitioned into the first ICAI Unit, scaling its mission on an even larger scale.  

The AI Lab for Imaging & Image-guided Interventions at UMC Utrecht is dedicated to advancing the use of artificial intelligence in medical imaging and precision treatments. The lab’s mission is to improve patient outcomes and quality of life by developing AI technologies that enhance image acquisition, analysis, and image-guided therapies. Through close collaboration with partners including Utrecht University, TU Eindhoven, Philips Healthcare, Elekta, MRIguidance, and Sectra, the lab brings together clinicians, engineers, and data scientists to bridge the gap between technical innovation and clinical application. Its overarching goal is to make image-guided interventions a standard approach in diagnosing and treating disease, enabling more effective, personalized, and minimally invasive care.

Sustainable Development Goals

About The Lab

Research projects

Research within the lab focuses on the development and clinical integration of AI-based imaging technologies. Current projects explore deep learning for diagnosis and treatment planning, MRI-to-CT image synthesis, holographic visualization of brain tumors for surgical preparation, and AI-driven radiotherapy and orthopedic imaging. By combining expertise in computer vision, machine learning, and responsible AI, researchers work to advance the entire imaging pipeline—from data acquisition and reconstruction to therapy guidance and outcome prediction. The lab’s unique position within the clinical environment of UMC Utrecht enables seamless translation of research into practice, ensuring that innovations directly contribute to improved precision, safety, and efficiency in patient care.
