Since August 2008 Klaas Prüssmann has been full Professor for Bioimaging (Assistant Professor since 2002, associate Professor since 2005) at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering of ETH and University of Zurich.

Research Interest

The work of Klaas Prüssmann and his group is dedicated to the development of medical imaging techniques on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance. Its current focus is on parallel acquisition methods using array antennas at field strengths up to 7 Tesla. The main goals are accelerating the imaging process, enhancing image quality, and exploiting new contrast mechanisms. For the evaluation of new developments the group closely cooperates with clinical researchers in Zurich and abroad, as well as with industrial partners.
