Sharp images of organs in motion
In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the motions of the heart, respiration or other movements of the patient may affect the imaging quality. This problem can be solved by simultaneous irradiation with ultra-wideband (UWB) radar signals. Together with the TU Ilmenau, PTB has developed a system of antennae which allows the UWB technology to be used in innovative ultra-high-field MRI. Thus, the advantages of the UWB technology (avoiding motion artifacts) are combined with those of ultra-high-field MRI (shorter measuring times and enhanced spatial resolution).
