The initial areas of research range from Crohn's disease, aneurysms and carotid imaging, to liver cancer on routinely acquired standard computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images. These research projects will run alongside other projects in the area of oncology, which is the main focus area for the Company.
