DACHMM

Whole body image analysis for diagnosing patients with monoclonal plasma cell disorders

Funded by Deutsche ForschungsGesellschaft (DFG) and Austrian Science Fund (FWF)

Team: Georg Langs, Johannes Hofmanninger, Roxane Licandro, Matthias Perkonigg

Partner: Bjoern Menze, Marc-André Weber

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer, which affects the generation pathway of plasma cells, resulting in uncontrolled proliferation and malignant transformation of these. This project aims at modelling infiltration patterns of MM longitudinally over progression time, and at automatically measuring disease progression and treatment response based on multi-modal imaging data. The main components of this project are lesion detection and segmentation, growth modelling and measurement of disease progression
