Experimental Radiology
In the section Experimental Radiology, we are developing novel MR imaging technologies for various applications within radiology. In particular, rapid MR imaging methods are investigated which are then combined with dedicated devices to perform interventional procedures within the MR environment. High field MRI techniques are developed using dedicated Tx/Rx coils to quantify tissue oxygenation. Alternative MR imaging concepts are explored, for example, to utilize artificial intelligence in oncologic MRI or to investigate the vocal fold dynamics during singing.
- Active catheter tracking
- Safety of active devices

- Device tracking with automatic detection of imaging markers
- Cerebral metabolic rate (CMR) O2 measurements with 17O MRI
- Renal oxygenation mapping with 17O MRI
- Imaging protocols for functional studies in oncology
- Dynamic imaging of the vocal fold oscillation
- Concurrent Excitation and Acquisition (CEA)
- MRI of Ancient Remains
- Artificial Intelligence Tools for MRI in Oncology
