Introduction & Mission statement
In medicine we generate vast amounts of data on a daily basis. However, the manner in which it is obtained is, for the most part, unstructured and therefore rarely ready to be utilized to retrieve valuable insights or synthesize new knowledge. Text and Images are the two classical outputs/pillars of diagnostic medical (especially radiological) data. Furthermore, high-throughput genomic assay technologies are becoming indispensable in state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making.
The objective of our new research group is to combine these facets of information and exploit the recent advancement and renaissance of machine learning and deep learning algorithms with the aim to improve the accuracy and depth of radiological diagnostic processes as well as the quality and information content of our reports.
Through such efforts, our ultimate goal (and hope) is to work towards safer personalized and more effective patient care while strengthening the role of radiologists in the future.

Academic | Federal Cooperations & Fundings
The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy ( BMWi ) funds innovative research projects through its ( Zentrales Innovationsprogramm Mittelstand, ZIM ) project to foster cooperation between academia and industry. We are currently currently working on such a BMWi-ZIM Project in partnership with EMPOLIS GmbH (see below and under <Projects> ).
is a joint (consortial) project including eight German universities that have agreed to share data to enhance patient-centered research and clinical care. It is funded by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) within the framework of the Medical Informatics Initiative (MI-I, 2015) to foster IT innovations for healthcare research and medical care. Our research group is involved in the MIRACUM Network with regard to Neurovascular and Neurooncological Use Cases.
Industrial Partners & Cooperations
EMPOLIS has long-lasting and extensive experience in information management. We have a working cooperation with the Healthcare Analytics Branch of EMPOLIS with Dr. Benedikt Kämpgen (Head of SU Healthcare). Our cooperation has recently been awarded federal funding by the BMWi's ZIM (see above) for a two-year time span to develop software solutions for improving the radiological reporting process. We are currently focusing on identifying automatable objective quality measures for reporting.
Smart-Radiology provides a set of tools, developed explicitly with radiologists in mind, that allows for creating highly task- and institution-specific reporting templates. In cooperation with SR, our research group has developed stroke- and RANO reporting templates. Furthermore, we have been investigating the effects that such structured reporting tools have on report quality while trying to find objective, scalable ways to compare report quality.
