Imaging plays a key role in the diagnosis and monitoring of tumor diseases

Uterus and adnexa

Imaging plays a key role in the diagnosis and follow-up of tumor diseases. With the harmonization of examination protocols and the introduction of uniformly structured and standardized reporting in radiology, data relating to tumour imaging is to be generated across all sites and securely networked. As the social significance of oncological diseases is set to increase significantly in the coming years, extensive data sets are urgently needed for the establishment of new image-based biomarkers for primary diagnostics, risk-adapted stratification, prognosis, understanding of the disease and therapy planning and monitoring. In the future, structured data management will create the prerequisites for processing radiological data on a large scale and in real time, applying machine learning methods and integrating other data sources (e.g. pathology, omics).
