News Medical Image Processing & AI

16 June 2023 | Franz Pfeiffer, Director of the Munich Institute of Biomedical Engineering (MIBE) and Professor of Biomedical Physics, has been shortlisted for the A. F. Harvey Engineering Research Prize 2023 by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).

5 June 2023 | AI has the potential to support diagnoses in radiology. However, until now, a lack of transparency has often made it difficult to understand the recommendations made by AI. Researchers have now investigated whether and how the visual representations used in AI image analysis – referred to as Saliency Maps – can help.

19 April 2023 | The TUM Think Tank is setting up a task force to provide orientation and guidance on handling generative AI to the policy, administration, community and business sectors.
