Computational Learning

Work description

Breast cancer (BC) is now the cancer with the highest incidence worldwide and a leading cause of cancer fatalities. Current standard treatment involves surgery combined with radiotherapy, however, 2/3 of early-detected BC tumors are clinically unpalpable. These require invasive, less accurate localization procedures for a conservative therapeutic approach. To succeed, a fundamental scientific problem must first be solved: how does the breast, a highly deformable organ, change shape when a patient is in different postures, while scanned using different medical imaging modalities? In this project, we aim to develop a novel, hybrid in silico/physics-informed machine learning approaches, for generation of artificial data based on generative models and for multimodal data fusion. The result will be cutting-edge, high-fidelity digital breast models with breast magnetic resonance imaging pose transformation from prone to supine, to predict tumor location.
