Personalized screening
We are targeting risk prediction in breast cancer using quantitative image analysis on screening mammograms. We are evaluating potential of using reliable risk prediction in screening. We are colllaborating with DORA, Oncology Institute Ljubljana and KU Leuven.
Real-time adaptive radiotherapy
In the course of RT, people change. We are figuring out ways to adapt treatment plans to daily anatomy, a problem particularly important in particle therapy. Collaboration with RAPTOR.
Treatment monitoring
We are predicting adverse evens in treatment of metastatic melanoma and monitoring treatment success using PET images. We are using AI and image analysis to segment organs and match lesions on longitudinal image series. Part of a collaboration with Oncology Institute Ljubljana and University of Wisconsin.
