Intelligent Medical Systems
- Imaging and Radiooncology
 
 Prof. Dr. Lena Maier-Hein
Head of Division, Managing Director "Data Science and Digital Oncology"
Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to revolutionize various areas of everyday life. In healthcare, however, its integration into routine procedures and impact on patients are still limited. The mission of the Division of Intelligent Medical Systems is to tackle the unique challenges of medical imaging AI to generate lasting patient benefit. A particular focus of our research lies in the surgical application domain.
 
 Our Research
Currently, patient outcome is heavily influenced by the surgical team's experience, with many potential complications being avoidable. To address such major socioeconomic problems and consistently elevate patient outcome beyond current standards, our multidisciplinary team works on intelligent medical systems in close collaboration with clinicians. Specific goals lie in the development of novel AI-enabled imaging techniques and trustworthy surgical AI systems that are ready for real-world clinical application. Key methodological challenges are related to the generalization of AI methods across devices, patient populations and hospitals, high data variability in an inherently sparse data regime, multimodal data integration, incorporation of prior knowledge into models, and the meaningful validation of AI systems under real-world clinical conditions.
Our Team Philosophy
Our division strongly believes in teamwork – not as an abstract ideal, but as a lived reality every day. Members of our division are involved in projects beside their own, making our group a strong network where everyone benefits from skills and talents that complement each other.
