Node IGTT

Speaker: Gerd Heilemann
Morphologic imaging had a major impact on the continuous improvement of therapeutic interventions, such as radiation oncology, interventional radiology, minimal invasive oncological procedures and surgery. Theranostics has become a key part of personalized medicine and provides considerable advances in predictive medicine. In that context the upcoming hybrid imaging devices including the hybrid imaging and radiation delivery units for guiding and monitoring therapies play an essential role.
The objective of the node on Image Guided Therapies and Theranostics is the development and clinical exploration of new image guided therapeutic concepts in order to improve therapy effectiveness and minimal invasiveness.
Clinical research activities of the workpackages, especially in the framework theranostics, will be based on the (translational) research of the node Quantitative Clinical Imaging as well as the node Biomarker Development. Workflow optimization for image guide therapies will depend largely on software but also on hardware developments. Consequently research w.r.t to technology development will be performed in close collaboration with the node on Image Informatics, Processing and Visualization. Furthermore collaboration with device producing industry will be further intensified to further develop and explore new minimal invasive vascular and oncological procedures.
