The Trustworthy AI for MRI (TAIMRI) Lab centers its research around two core themes: AI for MRI in diagnosis of neurological and musculoskeletal (MSK) diseases and health. 

 

To drive these advancements, the lab leverages key technical AI components, focusing primarily on:

 

  • Computer Vision
  • Machine Learning

 

With a commitment to explainable AI systems.

Sustainable Development Goals

About the lab

The Trustworthy AI for MRI (TAIMRI) Lab is dedicated to improving the accuracy and reduce the costs of MRI-based diagnosis using AI methods, with a focus on neurological and musculoskeletal diseases.

 

The lab’s mission and vision are to improve the quality of MRI-based diagnosis with trustworthy AI methods. For this, they aim to optimize the full chain from image acquisition prescription, to image analysis and introduction of AI-supported acquisition and diagnosis in clinical practice.

 

The impact of the Lab lies in forming the basis for clinical MR scanning in the future. In the AI-assisted diagnostic approaches for brain tumors and bone/soft-tissue lesions, image-based disease biomarkers will be created, which can be a subsequent target for the protocol adaptation. By focusing on two clinical domains, they aim to enhance the generalizability of the developed methods and ensure broad applicability across disease domains.

Research projects

Trustworthy AI for adaptive and precision MR protocols – Aims to develop predictor of acquisition settings optimal for imaging pathological tissue.

End-to-end deep learning quantitative MR reconstruction – Aims to develop efficient methods for Quantitative MRI reconstruction.

Trustworthy AI for integrated diagnostics of brain tumours – Aims to improve diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive tumor characterization by MR imaging.

Trustworthy AI for improved diagnosis of bone and soft-tissue lesions on MRI – Aims to develop AI models for differential diagnosis of musculoskeletal lesions.

Acceptance of radiological AI technology in a clinical setting – Aims to develop a framework to understand different factors influencing acceptance.
