Medical Imaging-Guided Therapy (MIGT)
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Kyung Hee University, South Korea
Since 2024, the MIGT Lab has been committed to advancing and translating new technologies in the field of medical imaging-guided therapy, especially magnetic resonance-guided therapy for cancer, neurological disease, and drug delivery. Our focus includes various aspects of this field, including quantitative MRI, real-time MRI, therapeutic application, treatment planning, MRI hardware design, and monitoring of cancer treatment and metabolic response.
