Ultrasound time-harmonic elastography for the assessment of glomerulonephritis Markus Großmann, Ingolf Sack, Stephan Rodrigo Marticorena Garcia The kidney function is of vital importance for the human metabolism, blood circulation and endocrine system. Glomerulonephritides comprises a group of immunologic renal diseases that can result in structural damage and functional failure due to inflammatory processes…
MRE in inflammatory neurological diseases Helge Herthum, Ingolf Sack High-Resolution magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) allows the investigation of spatially localized inflammatory processes in various organs and as well in the brain [1] [2]. This project aims at understanding the underlying mechanical-structural changes accompanying progressive inflammatory disease like multiple sclerosis. Viscoelastic properties of brain…
Longitudinal in vivo MRE study on mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) Karolina Garczynska, Jing Guo Tumor progression, reorganization and migration of cancer cells cause changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and stromal cells, the so called tumor surrounding environment (TSE). In the first part of the project, we plan to study longitudinally…

Tom Meyer passed his B.Sc. defense with the highest possible grade!
We congratulate Florian to his outstanding PhD thesis! The title of Florian’s thesis „Kontinuierliche Magnetresonanz-Elastographie zur Bestimmung viskoelastischer Gewebeeigenschaften“ in English „Continuous MR elastography for the Measurement of Viscoelastic Tissue Properties“ is rather general. Accordingly, his thesis covered a wide range of technical aspects of MRE from sequence development, construction of actuators to first clinical…
For his groundbreaking work in renal MR elastography, Stephan received the Power Poster Presentation Prize of the 2nd International Renal MRI Symposium. Stephan presented work on tomoelastography of the kidney in IgA patients. Congratulations!
