This year's seminar will focus on selected advanced techniques in ultrasound imaging. Students will familiarize themselves with various research topics based on current scientific publications, including:
• Plane Wave Imaging
• Harmonic Imaging
• Super-Resolution Imaging
• Row Column Arrays
• Flexible Arrays
• Deep Learning
• Full Waveform Inversion
• Multiperspective Ultrasound Imaging
Prior knowledge of ultrasound imaging is beneficial for this seminar. Students prepare for the topics covered by reviewing articles from scientific journals. In doing so, they analyze key concepts, present methods and results, and evaluate the significance of these findings for the current state of research. Students develop their topics in writing and present them in oral presentations. The presentations are discussed in terms of both content and presentation.

Objectives
After successful completion of the module, students have the ability to independently explore a selected topic area. This includes literature search taking into account international specialist literature and relevant databases, as well as the analysis, selection and evaluation of sources. They are able to structure and summarize scientific content, prepare a written paper and a presentation. You have a good command of common presentation techniques (technical and rhetorical) and are able to explain a scientific topic in terms of content and to answer questions. They can analyse other presentations, reflect on presentation techniques and formulate constructive criticism.
