Contrast Agent Detection- In the field of diagnostic imaging we put special emphasis on molecular imaging, i.e. imaging methods that visualize cell properties on a molecular scale by targeted contrast agents. Here, the sensitive detection of contrast agents is an important area of research.
Contrast agent quantification- In the field of diagnostic imaging we put special emphasis on molecular imaging, i.e. imaging methods that visualize cell properties on a molecular scale by targeted contrast agents. Here, the sensitive acoustic quantification of contrast agents is a major area of research.
Photoacoustics- Photoacoustic imaging is a new imaging modality that combines the advantages of optical imaging with the advantages of established ultrasonic imaging techniques. Photoacoustic imaging links the high optical contrast with the good ultrasonic resolution in scattering media.
Sonoporation- One field of research of the institute for Medical Engineering is the investigation in targeted drug delivery induced locally by ultrasound.
