Combine optical, MRI and histopathological strengths to prevent unnecessary blindness

Principal Investigators: dr. Jan Willem Beenakker (LUMC)

Funding: NWO-VIDI 2021

Description

In this research new technologies will be developed to combine photographs of the inside of the eye with three-dimensional imaging, as is used for radiotherapy planning. To achieve this combined image, the researchers will develop methods to correct for the aberrations introduced by the eye’s optics. By combining these imaging techniques, the researchers aim to further improve therapy for ocular oncology so patients preserve more visual function after therapy.
