Pioneering the Future of PET/MRI in Medical Imaging
Join us at the forefront of medical imaging technology as part of the HD-MetaPET project (BMBF). We are innovating by developing a PET insert for our state-of-the-art 1.5T MRI system—an opportunity to contribute directly to advancements that would revolutionize diagnostic capabilities in healthcare! In the exciting upcoming project phase, we will complete the integration of our newly designed PET detectors within the MRI. This integration requires a clever and precise electromechanical concept for the PET system inside the MRI bore. Our chair has demonstrated significant expertise in PET-MRI system integration, with a proven record of adapting each installation to meet specific research requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
* Characterize detector performance systematically.
* Develop integration concepts for PET modules in MRI.
