We congratulate our colleague Jürgen Jenne and his co-authors for his recent publication on Clinical experience with shear wave elastography (SWE) for assessing healthy uterus in a transabdominal approach.
SWE is a non-invasive imaging modality that measures the elasticity of tissues and which is widely applied to assess liver-related diseases like liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. But also in the field of gynecology, ongoing research is exploring the potential clinical benefits for diagnosis of uterine malignancies.
The aim of the current study was to investigate the uterine sono-elastographic characteristics in healthy women as reference measure for reasonable statements about pathological processes.
Congratulations to our colleagues Hannah Strohm, Jürgen Jenne, and Matthias Guenther and their co-authors for their publication on “Contraction assessment of abdominal muscles using automated segmentation designed for wearable ultrasound applications”.

In the now ending research project ULTRAWEAR they aimed at supporting physiotherapy by measuring activation a deep abdominal muscle – the Transversus Abdominis – on ultrasound images.
In the figure below you see the original ultrasound image with automatic segmentations of Obliquus Internus, Obliquus Externus, and Transversus Abdominis muscles. Below you find the classification results, which give a hint on correct or incorrect training of the patient who is supposed to contract the deep muscle during exercise.
ULTRAWEAR was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research under Grant 01EC1906D
We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of the EU Horizon 2020 project ASPIRE!
Our collaborative efforts have led to the development of an innovative new prototype for one-click perfusion analysis of ASL images. You can find a demo version of ExploreASL in mTRIAL here
ASL (Arterial Spin Labeling) is a cutting-edge MR imaging technique for contrast agent free perfusion imaging of the brain. It holds immense promise in improving the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of Alzheimer’s Disease. Especially for older adults with cardiovascular risk factors, ASL could be a game-changer.
Thank you all for your hard work and dedication, Gold Standard Phantoms,

Exciting Team Outing at mediri GmbH!
Our annual company team outing kicked off with a scenic hike along Heidelberg’s Philosophenweg, surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking views.
After our invigorating hike, we relished an engaging guided tour of the ‘Brewery zum Klosterhof‘, where we explored the intricacies of brewing and savored delightful local beers. Did you know that they brew beer with holy water there?
Despite unpredictable weather, our spirits soared as we gathered on the office rooftop terrace for a lively barbecue. Good vibes all day long!
Just imagine… evaluating brain perfusion on arterial spin labeling images was just one click away. Watch this video to see how we implemented Explore ASL in our mTRIAL platform to facilitate and standardize your next clinical study on neurodegenerative diseases.
Stay tuned to see how easy your data reaches mTRIAL.

World Multiple Sclerosis Day, as a day of global solidarity, emphasizes the need to raise awareness of this disease, improve diagnosis and treatment, and fund research to curb multiple sclerosis.
At mediri we develop and refine structural analysis methods to support the diagnosis and follow-up of multiple sclerosis.
An important imaging biomarker for MS is smouldering lesions. Their AI-aided detection on MR images also makes disease activity visible that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Today is International Clinical Trials Day. Let’s celebrate this event and raise awareness about clinical trials while expressing our gratitude to all clinical research professionals worldwide.
Investigator-Initiated Trials (IITs) are pivotal in medical research, driven by independent investigators to explore new avenues and innovative medical approaches. These trials contribute significantly to advancing medical knowledge.
At mediri, we take pride in supporting researchers and clinicians in their IITs. With our expertise in imaging, we provide crucial assistance for these trials.
If you’re interested in learning more about our work or are involved in IITs, feel free to reach out to us.
Many thanks to all partcipants for making the 15th ASL Network Dinner in Singapore a great event. We were happy to be the hosts of this enriching community.
Your proud sponsors of the evening:

Last week, the first workshop in the BosomShield project was hosted by the IBIB PAN (Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering of the Polish Academy of Sciences) in Warsaw.
Our Ph.D. candidate, Yaqeen Ali, presented his achievements towards federated learning approaches for breast cancer classification. The entire workshop discussion focused on how AI is shaping medical imaging, particularly in breast cancer. We would like to express our gratitude to IBIB PAN (https://ibib.pl/en/) for organizing this inspiring session.
