RESEARCH
Dept. of BME:
Implants and
artificial organs.
The interaction
of medical
devices,
prostheses and
artificial organs
with the human
body requires
integrative
answers.
Modern
diagnostic and
therapeutic
technologies
permit a ‚journey
through the
human body‘.
Currently
research at the
BME dept. is
focussed on the
development of new ultrasound techniques for therapeutic
applications at the cellular level.
Research in
cooperating
institutions
