Molecular Imaging Biomarkers
Research
Our research focuses on the extraction of novel imaging derived biomarkers by advanced computation. These comprise comprehensive PET image analysis, deep learning methods as well as survival prognostication and kinetic modeling of dynamic data.
Special emphasis is on therapy response quantification of patients receiving radioligand therapies. However, our research is not limited to oncological diseases, but also has a growing track record on cardiovascular research.
