Who?

In 2007, Ghent University founded the Hybrid Computed Tomography valorization cluster (or HyCT) under the umbrella of the Flemish Industrial Research Fund (IOF). Springing from two core facilities UGCT (X-ray imaging in physical science) and MEDISIP (CT, PET and SPECT hardware in life sciences), the current members consist of 12 Ghent University research teams. 

Five are working on tomographic imaging hardware (1D to 4D), signal and image processing for material sciences and life sciences in the broad sense.  Seven supporting groups range from electronics over clinical departments to veterinary specialists.

The goal of HyCT is to push technology to the market, pro-actively look to pull-in maturing technologies, and start co-creation partnerships with industry. Finally, over its life span, 8 spin-off companies have been launched from HyCT: Inside Matters, XRE, FEOPS, SONAURA,  EPILOG, MOLECUBES, IMAGEENS and RELF
