VISION
v v
Imaging, Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer
To engineer safe and highly effective cancer prevention, screening, diagnostic and treatment modalities that will:
• significantly reduce the rate of cancer-related deaths
• enable more accurate diagnoses
• increase prevention to reduce risk and incidence
• improve quality of life
