AI in Medical Applications Group

My joint DFG proposal LIZARD (Liver resection zone prediction using image-based and geometric deep leearning) with Dr. med. Florentine Huettl of the University Medical Center Mainz got accepted! Goal of the project will be an AI-based prediction of the resection zone for liver tumor patients.

In September 2024, an interdisciplinary research team from the Research Campus STIMULATE together with Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg, Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and University Hospital Schleswig Holstein started joint research work in the AI4IA project (Automated Segmentation and DIscrimination for Intracranial Aneurysms). The main objective of the AI4IA project is to identify and reduce sources of uncertainty in the determination of morphological and hemodynamic parameters in order to enable translation into healthcare.

The project is designed as a first step towards the development of robust rupture risk prediction systems and is planned to last 36 months as part of the second DFG priority program phase (SPP2311). It is planned as a cooperation project between the research groups in Berlin and Magdeburg specializing in neurovascular issues, with each research group being supported by a clinical partner site.

The research groups have many years of experience in modelling brain aneurysms, while the clinical partner sites have corresponding clinical expertise and provide geometries of real cases in pseudonymized form. In this context, the cooperation partners focusing on medical flows (PD Philipp Berg), neuroradiological evaluation (Prof Daniel Behme) and AI-based image analysis (me) will work closely together. 

Since Mai 2024 I am W3 professor for  AI in medical applications at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, at Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel.
