On this very page research projects of the Institute of Medical Engineering are presented. Further information with respect to each project can be found on the respective subpages. Please note that research projects we currently are actively pursuing are presented in the context of the post-graduate seminars.

Computed tomography (CT) is a well established imaging modality. However, there are still unsolved problems associated with image reconstruction artifacts. The research activities of the Institute of Medical Engineering in the field of CT can be found on the project page.

Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a new tomographic imaging modality capable of imaging the distribution of superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPIOs). The research activities of the Institute of Medical Engineering in the field of MPI can be found on the project page.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is a powerful tool for assessing and investigating the inside of living systems. Being widely applied in medicine and biomedical research, it is still subject to dynamic research activities. Our main research focus is diffusion weighted MR imaging. For more information see project page.

The general projects we are pursuing in the area of image computing are statistical shape modeling applied to image reconstruction and modeling of tumour growth. The research activities of our institute in this very area are described in more detail on the project page.

Recently, interesting technical, anthropomorphic, forensic, and archeological as well as paleontological applications of computed tomography have been developed. The research activities of the Institute of Medical Engineering in the field of technical imaging and non-destructive testing (NDT) can be found on the project page.

In the project archive former research projects of our group are presented. These projects currently are not anymore actively pursued by our group but still are of major concern to us. So feel free to contact us if you are interested in any of the presented topics since the expertise still can be found at our research lab.
