PIPPI 2025 Keynote Talk
Prof Thomas Küstner , University Hospital of Tübingen, Germany
From raw data to biomarkers: Learning-Based Methods for Motion-Robust MRI




Thomas Küstner



Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Küstner (Member, IEEE; Junior Fellow, ISMRM) is Chair of the Medical Imaging and Data Analysis (MIDAS.lab) at the University Hospital of Tübingen, Germany. He received his PhD from the University of Stuttgart in 2017 and subsequently worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences, King’s College London (2018–2021). He chairs the Artificial Intelligence Expert Group of the German National Cohort (NAKO) and is a member of the governing committee of the ISMRM Motion Detection and Correction Study Group. He is also among the organizers of the autoPET challenge series. His research focuses on AI-driven data processing for multimodal medical imaging (MRI, PET, CT), spanning acquisition, reconstruction, and analysis, as well as the development of interpretable AI methods for clinical and population-scale studies. His particular interest include MR-based motion imaging, motion correction, and advanced reconstruction methods.
