In January, the European Commission launched the European Cancer Imaging Initiative, one of the flagship actions under Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan.

The aim of the European Cancer Imaging Initiative is to achieve more precise and faster clinical decision-making, diagnostics, treatments and predictive medicine for cancer patients. It will develop and provide the necessary digital infrastructures to allow healthcare providers, research institutes and innovators to use available imaging data for new solutions in treatment and care.

Recording and presentations of the launch of the Cancer Imaging Initiative are available on the event webpage.
