        <p>
          Radiuma has been developing since 2021 by the
          Quantitative Radiomolecular Imaging and Therapy (Qurit) lab &amp; program at the
          University of British Columbia &amp; BC Cancer Research Institute, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
        </p>
        <p>
          Radiuma's mission is to bridge the gap between cutting-edge radiomics research and
          practical clinical application by providing standardized, reproducible, and
          user-friendly software tools.
