Dedicated hard -and software

Belgian universities, hospitals, research institutes and companies have a long tradition in medical imaging, image processing and/or image management.

From the early seventies on, state of the art nuclear medicine departments in university hospitals in Belgium acquired computers for image acquisition, thereby opening the research fields of digital image processing, including tomographic reconstructions, and image management, including communication between departments or hospitals, “PACS”.

A major factor which allowed the expertise to build up, was the very high density of nuclear medical imaging equipment, estimated today in Belgium at 15 gamma cameras, 12 MRI cameras and 3 PET cameras per million inhabitants, not to count imaging equipment in radiology departments.

As it is the case for the Belgian expertise in radiochemistry and related fields, most of the companies started as spin-offs of Belgian universities and inherited their academic creativity and flexibility.
