The Cancer Imaging Program (CIP) is one of four Programs in the Division of
Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) of the
National Cancer Institute.
The Cancer Imaging Program consists of 4 branches. Each branch has a Branch
Chief and associated Program Directors. Because of the cross-cutting nature of
many cancer imaging activities, CIP staff often collaborate across branches and
are not strictly confined to activities monitored by the branch with which they
are formally associated.
CIP Organization Chart
Molecular Imaging Branch - To encourage the development of molecular
imaging from basic discovery of methods and agents to their development as
preclinical tools and into clinical use in the service of diagnosis and therapy
of cancer patients and those at risk.
Imaging Technology Branch - To encourage and nurture the development and
translation of medical imaging instrumentation and technology for the diagnosis
and therapy of cancer.
Diagnostic Imaging Branch - To promote the study of the efficacy of
diagnostic imaging techniques through clinical trials in order to diagnose and
treat cancer more effectively and at an earlier stage.
Image-Guided Intervention Branch - To promote the use of imaging
techniques in the performance of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for the
diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
