Clinical Data Science in Radiology

ML & AI for the Clinics: Interdisciplinary, Trustworthy, Explainable

Research Areas

Radiological Computer Vision: Applying established machine-learning-based computer vision techniques for radiological diagnosis and prognosis

Biostatistics: Applying statistical methods to analyze and interpret complex clinical data with statistical rigorosity

Applied LLMs: Using large language models to process and understand numerous aspects of clinical text data

Multimodal DL: Integrating various data types (imaging, text, etc.) to enhance the accuracy and applicability of our AI models

Our Data

We work with real-world radiological data from clinical routine in a large radiology department. Our data comprises imaging data from the humble chest X-ray over computed tomography imaging and magnetic resonance imaging to combined functional and morphological imaging with PET/CT. Imaging data is complemented by comprehensive metadata, including free-text radiological reports.

Selected Projects

Image analysis of PET/CT: We are organizers of the AutoPET Challenge series, which focuses on segmentation of pathological tracer uptake in hybrid imaging.

High Performance Computing (HPC): We maintain the clinical HPC core facility CORE - for heavy CPU and GPU workloads. Our computing enviornment enables local deployment of state-of-the-art machine learning models.

Clinical LLM: Developing language models tailored for clinical data analysis.

Reliable AI: Clinical AI applications require careful evaluation with a strong focus on reliability, explainability and trustworthiness - does the model predict the right thing for the right reasons?

Federated Learning (RACOON, BORN): We contribute to collaborative multi-centric radiology frameworks that enable clinical machine learning and ensure data privacy and security.
