Declarations
:
: The ethics committee of the Technical University Munich approved this retrospective, German-law-compliant study and waived the need for informed consent. We asked the local ethics committee if they saw any issues with our general research, and they found no complaints (593/21 S-NP). We use existing MRI and CT images from the Clinic “Rechts der ISar.” We pseudonymized the MRI and CT. According to German law, we can do research with existing images without written consent internally if we follow the guidelines of patient privacy and ethics. We adhere to the German ethics standards for medical research on patient data generated by normal clinical routine.
