The software developed by Fraunhofer MEVIS automatically identifies the breathing and heart contraction phases in the data independent of the ECG information. This allows for a fast and easy examination of heart patients.
Medical Knowledge Through Research
Fraunhofer MEVIS develops real-world software solutions for computer-aided medicine, bridging between medical imaging, image-guided therapy, and healthcare informatics – bringing benefits to patients, customers and partners.
A radiofrequency applicator is placed in a liver tumor. The expected zone of destruction caused by heat is estimated by a fast approximation method.
Software Assistance for Needle Based Intervention
SAFIR supports the whole interventional workflow from planning to assessment utilizing segmentation, registration, simulation, optimization and visualization methodology. To facilitate fast deployment of new applications targeted at specific clinical questions or scientific projects, SAFIR is designed as a modular framework, which allows for re-using information processing methods and customization of algorithms.
With new image analysis technology developed by Fraunhofer MEVIS, fat deposits can be quantified automatically in entire tissue sections (marked in yellow).
Drive Tissue-Based Analysis and Provide Rich Quantitative Information
We develop innovative software solutions that measure tissue parameters across entire tissue sections automatically and precisely.
CaFuR enables cardiac diagnosis with real-time MRI. It consists of an accelerated MRI acquisition and a complete software solution for automated analysis.
With the heart into the world – Cardio expert Hindricks visits Fraunhofer MEVIS
In an engaging lecture by the cardio expert and professor Gerhard Hindricks on August 30th, approximately 70 attendees simultaneously gained insights into pioneering approaches in cardiac medicine and into the possible routs toward securing healthcare in remote or underserved regions. Because those who deal with cardiovascular diseases cannot avoid taking a global epidemiological perspective: Diseases of the heart and vessels are the leading cause of death globally and affect various geographical locations, age groups, and socioeconomic structures.
On Friday, August 25, a Disability Awareness Workshop took place at Fraunhofer MEVIS in Bremen. The half-day workshop was designed and led by a dedicated team from Inklupreneur, a Berlin and Bremen based initiative whose mission is to promote inclusion in the workplace and to actively support companies in doing so.
Project AEGEUS: Developing a novel headset to advance treatment of epilepsy and other neurological brain disorders
Since earlier this year, research scientists of Fraunhofer MEVIS are engaged in the four-year project AEGEUS (A Novel EEG Ultrasound Device for Functional Brain Imaging and Neurostimulation) alongside with several other European partners. The goal of AEGEUS is to develop and manufacture a radically new prototype headset that combines transcranial ultrasound imaging with electroencephalography.
Fraunhofer MEVIS is well represented at the 13th International Conference on Metamaterials, Photonic Crystals and Plasmonics (META 2023), July 18–21 in Paris, France.
