The Ruhr Center of Competence for Medical Enginnering (Kompetenzzentrum Medizintechnik Ruhr KMR, Bochum).
The profile and the projects of the Ruhr-Center of Competence for Medical Engineering at the Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany) will be described. Main topic of the KMR is medical ultrasound with emphasis on image based tissue characterization including elastography and multimodality concepts, mainly in combination with other non-ionizing imaging modalities. Project aims are early detection of cancer (skin, prostate), vessel and perfusion diagnostics (early detection of arteriosclerosis, cardiac arteries, stroke), and intraoperative navigation using ultrasound.
