Catholic University of Leuven University Hospitals Radiology Professor |  |
QualificationsPh.D., Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Medical Sciences, 1998. M.D., Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, 1987. Expertise and Research InterestsRobert Hermans' main field of interest is radiology of pathological conditions in the extracranial head and neck region, mainly using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging techniques. His special interest goes to imaging of head and neck cancer. His clinical research is focused on improving and developing new techniques for the visualisation of head and neck cancer, as well as on the definition of prognostic factors for treatment outcome based on radiological findings.
