Department of Radiology - Medical Physics

In the Department of Radiology – Medical Physics we are developing new medical imaging methods with a focus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound and computed tomography. Our activities range from basic research to application development – in MRI, the research portfolio includes novel imaging pulse sequences, gradient and radio-frequency hardware, as well as image reconstruction and post-processing. We operate several high-field MRI systems for pre-clinical studies, and we use clinical MRI systems to perform morphologic, functional and metabolic studies in humans. We cooperate with industrial partners to advance our technologies into medical products and we collaborate with clinical partners to translate the technologies into protocols for patient imaging.
