Infinite Imaging

The Interdisciplinary Research Group “M&M – Machine Learning and Musculoskeletal Imaging”

As (more or less) young clinicians and researchers, we are an interdisciplinary group of people who work on advanced imaging methods to improve diagnostics and treatment guidance in a variety of fields. Our main goal is to refine imaging to improve patient care by bringing together profound clinical expertise, a deep understanding of imaging, a hands-on approach to engineering, and refined computer skills. Our main tools are our MRI scanners and the respective hardware and software equipment, human and artificial intelligence, and mechanical and computational models. Our main areas of interest involve musculoskeletal imaging, cancer detection, and superordinate machine learning frameworks.

In the clinic, advanced medical imaging has revolutionized patient care over the last decades by earlier identification and refined graduation of diseases, by therapeutic decision-making, and by monitoring of treatment outcomes. As one of the top developments in the field of medicine, advanced medical imaging offers great benefits to patients and doctors. Every patient we encounter in our clinical practice teaches us that there is still room for medical and technical improvement, even though medicine and medical technology have come a long way. If you are interested, please have a look at our current projects.

We are principally based at the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology of the University Hospital Aachen (Germany) in close proximity to neighbouring Belgium and the Netherlands. In addition, we are closely affiliated with the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology of the University Hospital Düsseldorf (Germany) and the Institute of Computer Vision (RWTH Aachen University). Moreover, we have numerous collaborations with local, national, and international partner institutions.

We are currently funded by the German Research Foundation and the Medical Faculty of RWTH Aachen University.
