The new LUMC LIGT centre
On the 7th of March, LUMC will open the new LIGT centre (Leiden Image Guided Therapy), a leading facility for image-guided treatments. Using the latest technologies and state-of-the-art equipment, including Europe’s first spectral angio-CT, patients can be treated with greater precision and minimal invasiveness.This results in faster recovery, fewer complications, and new treatment possibilities for complex conditions. The new LIGT centre brings together the expertise of healthcare professionals in one location, further improving and optimising patient care.
What is the LIGT centre?
The new LUMC LIGT centre creates a space to bring together medical expertise, where healthcare professionals and researchers collaborate to optimise image-guided treatments. Using advanced imaging technologies, such as Europe’s first spectral angio-CT, procedures can be performed with greater precision and minimal invasiveness. This results in faster recovery, fewer complications, and new treatment possibilities, further improving patient care.
