Fabian Bambergs Forschung taucht in verschiedene Felder ein: Von Radiomics bis zu KI-Validierung, hier beim 107. Deutschen Röntgenkongress in Leipzig. Claudia TschabuschnigAn großen Versprechen der KI in der Radiologie mangelt es nicht. Was fehlt, so Professor Fabian Bamberg, Ärztlicher Direktor der Radiologischen Universitätsklinik Freiburg, ist eine klare und ehrliche Antwort auf eine schlichte Frage: Was muss ein KI-Tool tatsächlich beweisen, bevor es am echten Patienten eingesetzt werden darf?

Beim RöKo 2026 in Leipzig sprachen wir mit einem der führenden deutschen Köpfe in der Radiomics-Forschung und KI-Validierung. Bamberg, der das DFG-Schwerpunktprogramm Radiomics leitet, arbeitet seit Jahren daran, Bildanalyse aus dem Labor in die klinische Routine zu überführen.

Ebenfalls Thema: Das neue deutsche Lungenkrebsscreening-Programm, und wo die Qualitätssicherung seiner Einschätzung nach als erstes an ihre Grenzen stoßen wird.

First signals from Germany's lung cancer screening

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

Germany launched statutory LDCT lung cancer screening on 1 April 2026, marking one of Europe's most consequential screening rollouts. But at RÖKO Digital, experts made clear that the hard work of implementation from funding to infrastructure, local coordination, and AI integration, is only about to start.

'If you want to get this off the ground, coordinate locally with the cooperation partners that are necessary anyway, and set it up together. BDR and DRG are moving forward on this jointly,' said Prof. Dr. Hermann Helmberger, BDR president.
