Dr. med. Barbara Daria Wichtmann is a radiologist and medical physicist focused on advancing quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and artificial intelligence in oncologic imaging. Her research develops and validates MRI biomarkers and deep learning models to enhance cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and response assessment. Dr. Wichtmann’s work emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and the seamless translation of pivitol innovations from research to clinical application. As radiology evolves from a qualitative to a quantitative science, Dr. Wichtmann's work contributes to this exciting shift, driving towards a modern, personalized oncology approach based on precise and quantifiable data. Her goal is to advance radiology as a data-driven, quantitative discipline, improving patient care through innovative imaging technologies. She actively shapes the field through leadership roles in radiological societies and mentoring early-career researchers.
