Our interdisciplinary research portfolio is focused on the translation of modern x-ray physics concepts to biomedical sciences and clinical applications. We are particularly interested in advancing conceptually new approaches for biomedical x-ray imaging and therapy, and work on new kinds of x-ray sources, contrast modalities, and images processing algorithms. Our activities range from fundamental research using state-of-the-art, large-scale x-ray synchrotron and laser facilities to applied research and technology transfer projects aiming at the creation of improved biomedical device technology for clinical use. From a medical perspective, our work currently targets early cancer and osteoporosis diagnostics.
Medical Physics
Abstract: Background: The microstructure of material at a (Formula presented.) length scale leads to ultra-small-angle scattering of X-rays, which typically occurs, e.g., for lung tissue or some plastic foams.…
Holzforschung
Abstract: This study investigates the fatigue behavior of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) with density range of 580-620 kg/m3 under relatively short-period cyclic compressive loading. The aim is to understand…
European Journal of Radiology
Abstract: Background: Clinical X-ray dark-field radiography has shown to be promising for visualizing different lung pathologies. To keep the radiation dose as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA principle),…
Zeitschrift fur Medizinische Physik
Abstract: Background: X-ray dark-field radiography uses small-angle scattering to visualize the structural integrity of lung alveoli. To study the influence of dose reduction on clinical dark-field radiographs,…
Medical Physics
Abstract: Background: Dark-field radiography is a novel x-ray imaging modality that provides complementary diagnostic information by visualising microstructural properties of lung tissue. Implemented via a…
Physica Medica
Abstract: Purpose: A first demonstrator system for clinical dark-field chest radiography was recently constructed. Due to its scanning acquisition, conventional exposure regulation systems are not possible.…
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging
Abstract: Purpose: Assessing tumor response to systemic therapies is one of the main applications of PET/CT. Routinely, only a small subset of index lesions out of multiple lesions is analyzed. However, this…
Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging
Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate the potential of dark-field chest radiography to improve the detection and assessment of pneumothorax. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted between March…
Computers in Biology and Medicine
Abstract: We aim to optimize the binary detection of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) based on emphysema presence in the lung with convolutional neural networks (CNN) by exploring manually adjusted…
Radiology: Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: Purpose: To estimate the total lung volume (TLV) from real and synthetic frontal chest radiographs on a pixel level using lung thickness maps generated by a U-Net deep learning model. Materials and…
