René Pallenberg Lecturer

research associate
University of Lübeck

Hello, my name is René Pallenberg and I am a research associate at the Institute for Signal Processing at the University of Lübeck. I hold a Master of Science in Medical Informatics.

My research focuses on the processing of medical images and signals. One of my publications deals with the automatic quality measurement of aortic contrast-enhanced CT angiographies for patient-specific dose optimization.

I will be presenting my work titled “Random Forest and Gradient Boosted Trees for Patient Individualized Contrast Agent Dose Reduction in CT Angiography”. In this work, I investigate how clinical parameters can be used to predict the quality of a CT angiography. This could be used to selectively reduce the contrast agent dose in CT angiographies for individual patients.

I look forward to sharing my work with you and answering your questions.
