Mission Statement

The research interests of the team at the Institute of Medical Engineering are in physical sensing and image acquisition techniques as well as image computing and system modeling in biophysical, medical and technical applications. The key competence covers the area of medical and technical imaging using tomographic techniques. This includes the development of reconstruction algorithms, signal pre- and post-processing methods, and front-end electronics.

Biochemical Engineering

The research activities of the Institute of Medical Engineering in the field of Biochemical Engineering can be found on the project page.

Magnetic Particle Imaging

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.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

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.

Image Computing

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.

X-Ray Based Imaging

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.



Announcements

The Institute of Medical Engineering invites you to the 9th Student Conference, which will take place March 3 - 5, 2020 in Lübeck, Germany. Graduate students at the master's level, studying technical fields at the University and the University of Applied Sciences of Lübeck will present their research findings from projects, intern semesters, and theses performed at universities, hospitals, international research institutes, or for companies.

For more information visit: www.studierendentagung.de

The Institute of Medical Engineering invites you to the 10th International Workshop on Magnetic Particle Imaging (IWMPI), which will take place March 30 - April 1, 2020 in Würzburg, Germany. The workshop will provide not only the opportunity to present research work and results, but also new ideas and directions in the field of MPI to a highly interested audience of scientific, medical and application experts from universities, clinical and commercial sites, active in the field.

For more information visit: www.iwmpi.org

The Institute of Medical Engineering invites you to the second 3D Week, which will take place September 7 - 11, 2020 in Lübeck, Germany. This symposium on additive manufacturing is designed for scientists, companies and interested individuals. The scientific conference additive manufacturing meets medicine (AMMM), an SME-symposium and an advanced training program provide interesting content for everyone.
