Stop sending CDs with image data all over the world. Simply upload your medical images via web browser to the central study server – with automatic pseudonymization before upload.
Our study servers are hosted in Germany and comply to BSI C5 standard.
mediri’s image data management software mTRIAL covers the complete workflow of a clinical study from upload to central read and reporting. All stakeholders of a project have real-time access to the image data base. This way we make clinical studies more efficent and secure.

Did you already know that the “Medizinforschungsgesetz” incorporates new regulations for radiation protection notifications? A streamlined procedure for these notifications aims at ensuring that radiation protection-relevant studies, e.g. with imaging end points based on PET or CT imaging, in Germany are approved at a similar speed as in other European countries.
This and many other aspects of the current situation in clinical research have been discussed at the 32. BVMA Symposium in Munich last week, most of them with an optimistic perspective for the next years. Germany is starting to catch up again, because more clinical trials in Germany will not only contribute to our BIP but also provide access to the newest therapies for many patients – many of us.

Many Thanks to BVMA – Bundesverband Medizinischer Auftragsinstitute e.V. for this energizing event!

Are you still waiting for CDs to be delivered? Meet our COO Julia Müller at the BVMA Symposium in Munich tomorrow and discuss efficient and secure ways of medical image data sharing and evaluation in clinical studies.

We’re thrilled to share that our Ph.D. student, Yaqeen Ali, recently completed a two-month secondment at the Faculté de Médecine, Université de Bourgogne Franche-Comté in Dijon, France, as part of the BosomShield project.
During his time there, he focused on feature extraction, selection, and classification to identify molecular subtypes of breast cancer across various MRI modalities.
Our heartfelt thanks to Fabrice Meriaudeau, Alain Lalande, and Tewele Weletnsea TAREKE for their invaluable support and collaboration.

Just imagine…you are planning a multi-center imaging study and you can choose whichever site you want irrespective of the MR scanner they have. In SIMAB, Fraunhofer MEVIS and mediri GmbH are developing a vendor-agnostic MR sequence development framework to increase the comparability of imaging biomarkers regardless of the employed scanner equipment.
Structural imaging biomarkers as brain atrophy or lesions will be assessed as well as functional indicators of neurological diseases, e.g. brain perfusion or permeability.
SIMAB is funded by the German Ministry for Research and Education.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an international effort to raise awareness about breast cancer prevention, research, and treatment. It highlights the crucial role of early detection and ongoing efforts to combat the disease.

We’re proud to be part of the Marie-Sklodowska-Curie network BosomShield, which combines clinical, pathological, and radiological data to enhance breast cancer treatments. Our PhD students are currently working on AI-based lesion segmentation and classification on images of different modalities aiming for better relapse propability prediction.

Tomorrow is World Alzheimer’s Day.
This day emphasizes the importance of taking action at every stage of life to promote brain health and well-being.
Alzheimer’s disease affects millions of people worldwide, including those living with the disease, as well as their families and caregivers. It is a journey full of challenges.
At mediri, we support ASL measurements for the contrast free assessment of the blood brain barrier status after MR guided and focused ultrasound mediated BBB-opening in an Alzheimer therapy studies.
Let’s work together to advocate for more research and better care options to improve the lives of those affected by Alzheimer’s.

Today, we are filled with joy and gratitude as we celebrate our 20th anniversary.
Two decades of innovation, challenges, and successes are behind us. We are proud of what we have achieved together and extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated employees, loyal customers, and reliable partners for their support and trust.
Looking to the future, we are ready to explore new paths and continue developing innovative solutions that drive us forward. Together, we will shape the next years of success.

We proudly announce that our colleague @jürgenjenne will present a poster on “Comparison of automated and manual tractography based tcMRgFUS therapy planning” at the ISTU Congress on Friday, September 20 in Taipei. Transcranial MR-guided focused ultrasound (tcMRgFUS) treatment for Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s Tremor is becoming a clinical reality. While DTI tractography can enhance target identification, it is time-consuming, requiring multiple software programs and expert knowledge. The primary objective of the work presented is to streamline tractography-based therapy planning and make it accessible to all without specialized expertise.

The Project tcFUS-Control was supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) on the basis of a decision by the German Bundestag,ZF4173706CR9, ZF4801301CR9, ZF4178404CR9.

Last week, the second summer school for BosomShield students took place at the prestigious KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Organized by the Division of Biomedical Imaging within the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Health Systems, the program offered participants an immersive and holistic learning experience.

The curriculum was carefully designed to blend in-depth technical training in biomedical imaging with the development of essential soft skills, both of which are vital for driving innovation and achieving success in the rapidly evolving field of biomedical engineering. This unique approach ensured that students not only advanced their technical expertise but also honed the interpersonal and leadership skills necessary to excel in their future careers.
