        About the Center
        Thee Researchh Institutee off Biomedicalal Engineering was established in January 1997 as one of research centers in
        the Catholic University of Korea. in conjunction with thee departmentt off biomedical  engineering, schooll of
        medicine, Catholicc Universityy off Koreaea, and are developing the state-of-the-art imaging techniques and the
        radiation treatment techniques for cancer patients to improve treatment effect.
