AG Zaiss

Congratulations to Prof. Dr. Moritz Zaiß for winning the 2022 Science Award of the DGMP. Since 2002, the German Society for Medical Physics e.V. has awarded the Science Prize every two years to a scientist from the field of medical physics in recognition of outstanding scientific achievements. At...

Our three research groups were at the 24th annual meeting of the DS-ISMRM e.V. in Aachen! The German Section is officially recognised as part of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and represents its interests in German-speaking countries. At this year's meeting, 15 exciting...

CEST MRI provides many different clinically promising contrasts. The best studied is Amide Proton Transfer-weighted (APTw) CEST MRI in brain tumors. However, even for APTw in brain tumors many protocols are out there, often with different rf saturation powers, rf duty-cycled and durations, or with different post processings and visualizations. In this article CEST researchers of various groups tried to nail down a single (well almost) protocol that defines APTw for brain tumor imaging.

Do you know about Pulseq-CEST? Pulseq-CEST is a CEST RF preparation standard based on Pulseq initiated by AG Zaiss at FAU, UKER and MPI Tübingen. You can learn more about Pulseq-CEST in a video by Kai Herz from the MRI Together 2021: but also in the original paper https://doi.org/10.1002/mrm...

The Gorter Award for the best work in the field of magnetic resonance imaging goes to FAU! Since 2005, the German Section of the ISMRM awards a prize for the best work in the field of magnetic resonance to a young scientist from medicine or a natural science at its annual meeting. The prize w...
