Coronary imaging techniques helps to identify plaques likely to cause heart attacks
Late-breaking results from the PROSPECT clinical trial shed new light on the types of vulnerable plaque that are most likely to cause sudden, unexpected adverse cardiac events, and on the ability to identify them through imaging techniques before they occur. view more (2009-09-25)
Precise Location and Navigation in the Centimetre Range
The importance of position recognition systems for control and monitoring processes is steadily increasing. As dictated by the particular application, very high precision and measuring repetition rate are required for this purpose. Consequently, work for developing a novel system for commercial applications has been in progress at the Institute of... view more... (2003-03-31)
