4 years **_Cancer continues to be a major public health and economic burden, with 19.3 million new cases and 10 million deaths worldwide in 2020. As the global population ages, the incidence and mortality from cancer are expected to rise by 47% to 28.4 million new cases by 2040. Medical imaging, including CT and MRI scans, is critical in the management of nearly all types of cancer. These technologies are integral from the initial detection and diagnosis to staging, treatment planning, monitoring responses, and long-term follow-up. There is a significant opportunity to enhance these processes through Artificial Intelligence (AI), which promises to improve both the efficiency and quality of image-based medical diagnostics. Do you want to contribute to this PhD project?_**

The goal of this PhD project is to develop an AI-based model for automatic detection and precise segmentation of metastasis in CT images. To achieve this, the project will leverage multi-modal AI technologies, integrating a diverse array of data sources, including radiological text data, primary tumor locations, and essential clinical patient information, such as age and tumor markers. This initiative is a collaborative effort between the fields of radiology and AI research, ensuring you receive expert guidance from leading scientists in both disciplines. Moreover, due to our integration with the Department of Imaging, you will have access to an extensive collection of annotated CT scans and radiological reports, providing a rich dataset for research.

**Tasks and responsibilities**
- Conduct research in the development of multi-modal AI for metastatic cancer.
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to translate cutting-edge technology into clinical practice.
- Publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals and present at international conferences.
- Mentor junior team members and contribute to the development of the lab's research direction.

- 168 vacation hours per year based on a 36-hour working week. Want more vacation? You can buy additional vacation hours with your end-of-year bonus.
- 26 weeks of parental leave, of which 9 weeks are paid.
- Extra-favorable leave conditions. For example, our short-term caregiving leave is not 2 but 4 weeks per year and even 12 weeks per year for partner and child.
- Pension accrual with the ABP Pension Fund. Radboud university medical center pays 70% of the pension contribution.
- Discount on the supplementary packages of two collective health insurance policies and on ten other types of insurance, from home insurance to legal assistance.
- A travel allowance via our Employment Conditions Selection Model and a working-from-home allowance of €2,35 per day.

You will work in the Diagnostic Image Analysis Group (DIAG). DIAG is part of the Departments of Imaging, Pathology, Ophthalmology, and Radiation Oncology of Radboud University Medical Center. We develop computer algorithms to interpret and process medical images. The group currently consists of around 70 researchers. Radboud University Medical Center and Radboud University are located in Nijmegen, the oldest Dutch city with a rich history and one of the liveliest city centers in the Netherlands. Radboud University has over 17,000 students
