EUPHORIA exhibited by iThera at 43. Dreiländertreffen der DEGUM, ÖGUM und SGUM
EUPHORIA Coordinators iThera Medical GmbH Biomedizinische Bildgebung will exhibit at the 43. Dreiländertreffen der DEGUM, ÖGUM und SGUM in Leipzig, Germany. The ultrasound meeting runs from October 16th-19th, 2019. There is a dedicated session to IBD (aka CED in German). EUPHORIA brochures will be available at iThera’s booth, F32.
According to this year’s congress motto “Shaping the present and the future with ultrasound”, the focus of the congress will be on practical training in theory and practice as well as in the translation of the latest scientific findings.

EUPHORIA PI Dr Ferdinand Knieling takes the 2019 Adalbert Czerny Award
Dr Ferdinand Knieling from the University Hospital Erlangen was awarded the Adalbert Czerny Award 2019 from the German Society for Pediatrics and Youth Medicine for his work on innovative diagnostic methods. Ferdinand was the first to apply a newly developed multispectral optoacoustic (MSOT) imaging method, which non-invasively provides information about tissue composition, on patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

iThera publishes a factsheet series to highlight technologies, products and applications
EUPHORIA coordinator iThera Medical has launched a series of downloadable factsheets to describe their technologies, products and applications. Of particular relevance to EUPHORIA are the clinical notes on Inflammatory Bowel Disease and the Acuity System product dossier.
EUPHORIA partners RayFos and iThera hold productive DICOM workshop
The EUPHORIA project aims at bringing optoacoustic imaging into the clinics. Early transition to an established data format is key for clinical imaging interconnectivity and therefore part of the transition to a commercial product.
Recently, the project made a big step forward in a two-day workshop that was organised at the iThera Medical premises in Munich. Participants from Rayfos and iThera Medical, consulted by experts from Softgate defined the DICOM data structure to ensure seamless integration into the clinical workflow. DICOM is the common data standard for medical imaging.
From RayFos, colleagues Vassilis Sarantos and Nomikos Antoniadis joined the workshop. From iThera Medical, Stefan Morscher, Ingmar Thiemann, Ratko Petrovic, Elena Mercep, and Tobias Bichlmaier participated.
Vassilis Sarantos, Chief Technical Officer at Rayfos commented, “The most important take-aways of the 2-day event were that:
- DICOM can fully support the archiving requirements that are needed for the EUPHORIA clinical study and,
- The fastest route to share the diagnostic information generated by the Acuity System will be to use the encapsulated PDF format for our reports, which is a format widely supported by all DICOM – PACS systems and viewers.
DICOM compatibility and connectivity is an integral part of every modern imaging system. The workshop set the right basis that will guarantee that the EUPHORIA-developed system will fully integrate and collaborate flawlessly with the existing and future infrastructure used in the diagnosis of IBD and other conditions, where OA imaging may provide superior imaging capabilities in comparison to existing imaging modalities.”
