Prof. Dr. Timm Denecke discusses AI-based early detection of liver cancer at RÖKO 2026

Predicting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) before it develops: Artificial Intelligence meets MRI

At RÖKO 2026, we spoke with Prof. Dr. Timm Denecke, Director of Radiology at Leipzig University Hospital, about RACOON-MARDER, a research project using artificial intelligence to detect the earliest imaging signs of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in high-risk patients. By training AI on structured MRI data from across Germany's university hospitals, the project aims to identify which patients truly need intensive screening — and catch liver cancer before it becomes cancer. Mint Medical is proud to support this research as a technical network partner.
