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.
