Light Guiding
Funded by the DFG and in a joint work with the Chair of Photonics and Terahertz Technology, Volodymyr Rohovets investigates how to increase the penetration depth of light into tissue by inducing refractive index patterns with ultrasound.
DeepH for fast harmonic US imaging is front cover of IEEE TUFFC
DeepH, a new method for fast harmonic ultrasound imaging, is published by the IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control.
Double Success in IEEE Ultra-SR Challenge
Our contribution to the challenge with Thomas Lisson as first author finished best in the localization category and as runner-up in the localization and tracking category.
Podcast Signals for Life
Fabian Kießling from University Hospital Aachen and Georg Schmitz from RUB together explain molecular imaging and superresolution ultrasound imaging in the VDE podcast Signals for Life.
Project Start
The chair for Medical Engineering participates in the terahertz.NRW project starting in August 2022. Paul Hagemeyer will transfer tomographic reconstruction methods developed for ultrasound imaging at our chair to the THz range and will further improve these methods for 3D.
Research
Our research focuses on ultrasound imaging, reconstruction algorithms, and image processing with statistical signal processing and deep learning.
Teaching
In our bachelor and master courses we teach statistical signal processing, biomedical imaging and image processing. We organize the study focus medical engineering for master students of electrical engineering and information technology. For this we offer courses, seminars and practical courses. These also contribute to the medical imaging specialization for medical physicists.
