Jurgen Fütterer
Jurgen Fütterer is interventional radiologist, full professor at the Department of Medical Imaging, Radboudumc, and at the Robotics and Mechatronics group, University of Twente.
He qualified at Radboud University Nijmegen in 2001, and completed his PhD on MRI techniques in localization and staging of prostate cancer in 2006. He was radiology resident at the University Medical Centre, Nijmegen, 2003-2008, and completed a fellowship in interventional radiology/body MRI, 2009. Prof. Fütterer is internationally acknowledged as one of the leading interventional radiologists in MRI-guided interventions and focal therapy for prostate cancer.
Prof. Fütterer is founder and principal investigator of the Minimally Invasive Image-Guided Interventions Center (MAGIC) research group at Radboudumc. The group has played a key role in establishing and extending Radboudumc’s Imaging department’s role as an internationally recognized center of excellence in MRI-guided prostate cancer diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment. This has also led to spin-offs like Soteria Medical, a medical device company with expertise in robotic assistance for MRI-guided prostate biopsy. Prof. Fütterer’s group also has a strong participation in Radboudumc’s MITeC innovative operating rooms. MITeC is an acknowledged international reference site for image-guided therapy and with Siemens Healthineers, strives to develop and extend the use of minimally invasive interventions.
