Astrid van Lier

Astrid van Lier is a Researcher at the University Medical Center Utrecht, specializing in MRI for radiotherapy. Her work focuses on solving clinical challenges by developing and integrating advanced MRI techniques for safe MRI-guided radiotherapy.

Her research spans Medical Physics, Biomedical Imaging, and Radiation Oncology, with a strong emphasis on MRI-linac systems, motion compensation, and real-time adaptive treatments. She has contributed to optimizing workflows for thoracic therapies and assessing device compatibility in cardiac radioablation.

Her recent publications highlight innovations in phantom design for image quality assessment, bowel tracking for MR-guided radiotherapy, and magnetic resonance-guided linear accelerator (MR-linac) applications. These works often involve collaborations with multidisciplinary teams across institutions.

While no scientific awards or advising students are explicitly mentioned in the provided text, her contributions to quality assurance and clinical implementation of MRI in radiotherapy are evident through her co-authored publications.
