Focus

The Diagnostic Medical Imaging Department at the Erasmus Hospital has recognised expertise in a number of fields and diseases and in neuro-oncology in particular. Before operating on a brain tumour, using an MRI 3 Tesla for example, so-called functional imaging and tractography (visual representation of nerve tracts) make it possible to map and thereby avoid the functional zones (motor, language, et.) during   neurosurgery.
