Cancer Imaging

Innovation through imaging technology to improve and personalize the patient journey.

Our research is dedicated to improving the effectiveness and reducing side effects of cancer treatment through imaging technology. A highly collaborative department, we work closely with national and international institutions, industry leaders and clinical academics to personalize cancer treatment for each patient.

Why Study at the Department of Cancer Imaging

Our clinical academics are world-leaders who serve on national and international societies and committees, and have authored best practices around the world such as evidence-based guidelines in PET tumour and non-tumour imaging, paediatric PET imaging, lymphoma and myeloma
Public patient engagement allows for direct patient feedback to incorporate into research
Our research spans preclinical development to multicentre clinical trials
State-of-the-art imaging facilities
Close collaboration and support from industry leaders
