Research:
I am mainly involved in research projects dealing with Doppler-ultrasound, contrast agents, MDCT and MRI of the cardiovascular system, using the techniques of dynamic CTA, Dual Energy, iterative reconstruction, coronary CTA, MR-angiography, MR-volumetry, MR flow-measurements and MR-perfusion in humans and animal models. I am one of the project leaders of the German Competence Network for Congenital Heart Disease since 2003.
Recent studies of our group were dealing with dose reduction in CT, CT-FFR, AI, tissue characterization, 4D-flow, imaging and post-processing before and after TAVI and EVAR, MR viability assessment in comparison to SPECT, PET, MRI at 3.0T and studies on the assessment of inflammation by MRI. Furthermore, we have gathered the first experiences in Cardiac PET/MR and interventional MRI.
Our center was involved in several international multicenter trials like the PLATFORM- (HeartFlow), GadaCAD (Bayer) and most recently the Quanti-OBR (Bayer) and the DISCHARGE-trial (EU sponsored) on Coronary-CTA.
