VIDEO RöKo 2026: Frank Wacker über die wachsende Bedeutung der IR

Interventionelle Radiologie könnte in einem Gesundheitssystem unter finanziellem Druck zunehmend wichtiger werden. Und warum es Deutschland immer noch schwer fällt, minimalinvasive Eingriffe in den ambulanten Bereich zu verlagern, erläutert Professor Frank K. Wacker in einem Videointerview beim RöKo 2026 in Leipzig.

AI devices vary widely in lung cancer detection
By Will Morton
Three devices helped detect more cancerous tumors, whereas the other four devices helped detect fewer tumors.

Cropped secondary capture examples. These are illustrative and not intended to imply superiority or inferiority of any device. (A) Posteroanterior radiograph in a 46-year-old female patient. The device correctly identified a right lower lobe nodule projected below the right hemidiaphragm and hilar lymphadenopathy. (B) Posteroanterior radiograph in an 86-year-old female patient with a classic Golden S sign highly suggestive of cancer. Three devices did not identify any findings. (C) The output from one device for the same radiograph as in B. The device placed a contour around the area of abnormality but mislabeled it as segmental collapse, and there are no other elements in the output to raise suspicion of cancer. (D) Posteroanterior radiograph in a 60-year-old male patient -- a case of confirmed lung cancer that was not deemed visible in retrospect. The device identified multiple false-positive abnormalities. (E) Posteroanterior radiograph in a 77-year-old female patient with two right lower lobe nodules. The device mislabeled the abnormality as infection -- a diagnostic term that could incorrectly influence clinical management. (F) Posteroanterior radiograph in a 77-year-old female patient with a right hilar tumor. Most of the lungs have been labeled by the device, with excessive overlap of the abnormality that pragmatically represents an incorrect result. All annotations shown were produced by the devices. LL = lung lesion, LO = lung opacity, PO = pleural other, TBC = tuberculosis.
