Radiation Therapy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Patients in the Radiotherapy Department are treated with ionising radiation. The majority are cancer patients, however some benign disorders can also be treated with radiotherapy.

The research group TROP works around "patient-tailored image-guided radiotherapy", Dit
Subject is cross-disciplinary and translational. It integrates new imaging techniques (before, during and after radiotherapy), innovative radiation modalities, biology and clinical studies. There is close cooperation with the image groups within our BEFY department and on the one hand the oncological oriented basic and clinical research groups.
The department FAFY is mainly developing research activities in the following domains: 1. The use of hepatocytes in culture and co-culture as a model for toxicity and biotransformation studies of xenobiotics: - Evaluation of the iso-enzyme pattern of hepatocytes in culture and co-culture; - Detoxification mechanisms of hepatocytes in cultures and co-cultures; - Biotransformation and toxicity of isobutene; - Biotransformation and toxicity of ...
The Laboratory of Experimental Radiotherapy conducts studies on a wide aray of subjects such as:
The department of 'Imaging and Physical Sciences' consists of the subunits Radiology and Clinical Imaging (RADI), 'Radiotherapy' (KANK), 'Nuclear Medicine' (NUGE). The main research topics for these three subunits are: For Radiology and Clinical Imaging: 1. Diffusion and perfusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and their application to the characterisation of healthy and pathologic tissues; 2. Susceptibility MR imaging of trabecular bone and ...
The research group NuTec (contact: sonja.schreurs@xios.be) has research domains 'environmental energy research' and 'development and application of nuclear equipment'. Multidisciplinary research in an applied context is paramount in both domains. There from that environment, energy, security (chemical, toxicological, radio chemical, nuclear,...), economic feasibility, legislation and regulation are closely involved in this applied ...
