Kick-off workshop for the project UIC4UHFMRI
From May 5 to 7, 2025, the kick-off workshop for the Universal Console for Ultra-High-Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (UIC4UHFMRI) research project took place at the Chair of Integrated Electronic Systems. During the meeting, the doctoral students who had already been recruited came together with experts from the fields of magnetic resonance imaging, high-frequency technology, and microelectronics to lay the foundations for the development of a universal integrated console for ultra-high-field MRI systems.
The aim of the project is to further develop medical imaging technology by integrating state-of-the-art semiconductor technology into MRI systems. The console being developed in the project is expected to significantly outperform existing systems and, in the long term, strengthen the OVGU's leading position in the field of neuroimaging and high-field MRI.
Funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the project will be carried out over the next three years. The successful kick-off workshop marked the starting point for close interdisciplinary cooperation and the strategic integration of the project into the high-tech initiatives of the state of Saxony-Anhalt.
