Wir arbeiten an Hardware und Simulationen, um die Magnetresonanz schneller und besser zu machen.
Hochfrequenzspulen (HF) sind unsere Leidenschaft. Unser Fokus liegt auf Design, Simulation und Konstruktion von nicht standardmäßigen Spulen. Dabei erforschen wir insbesondere flexible & tragbare, multi-modale und Multi-Kern-Spulen.
Wir betreiben ein voll ausgestattetes Hochfrequenzlabor direkt neben einem 7T (Tesla) und zwei 3T MR-Scannern.
Für elektromagnetische 3D-Simulationen verwenden wir spezielle Workstations mit leistungsstarken GPUs, um HF-Spulen zu optimieren und deren Sicherheit zu bewerten.
Unser Team ist ständig auf der Suche nach neuen Mitgliedern. Kontaktieren Sie Elmar Laistler, wenn Sie interessiert sind!
