From 1 to 3 July 2020, the digital master information days will take place at the OVGU. Our master's programme in Medical Systems Engineering is also part of it and offers a digital question session via Zoom with the course advisor Josefine Schreiter. There you can get answers to all your questions about the course of studies and the possible start of your career. An own camera is not necessary.

Wednesday, 1 July 2020, 16.00 to 17.00

For highly motivated and interested Medical Systems Engineering students there is now the possibility to be supported by a research scholarship. The MEMoRIAL International Graduate School offers the possibility to work on current research topics and to be supported with up to 500 €!

You can find all further information on the website of the MEMoRIAL International Graduate School.

In March 2020, the new building 82 in Otto-Hahn-Straße 2 in Magdeburg's Wissenschaftshafen was opened. The new headquarter of the STIMULATE research campus is the centre for medical technology research in Magdeburg. On a total area of 3.300 m², there are numerous offices and top-equipped laboratories as well as various co-working areas. For our Medical Systems Engineering students it is the central contact point for all medical engineering activities.

Two of our Medical Systems Engineering students Ivan Fomin and David Schote got the chance to do research in magnetic resonance imaging in cooperation with the Athinoula A. Martino Center. This exchange was made possible by the existing cooperation between Harvard Medical School in Boston and Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. 

The two students and staff members of the research campus STIMULATE used the opportunity of the "Research Track" to expand their practical experience during their three-month stay abroad. In this process, two projects were realised in cooperation with Dr. Thomas Witzel. 

In the project "Gradient Power Amplifier", Ivan Fomin focused on the development of a low-cost fully functional gradient amplifier for small format MRI systems, which is capable of supplying several gradient coils simultaneously and reliably. First image acquisitions could be generated in interaction with an existing tabletop MRI.

David Schote developed for his project "Open-Source Relaxometry" both the hardware and the software to run a relaxometer. Relaxometry can be used to determine the T1 and T2 relaxation times known from magnetic resonance imaging, which are responsible for the contrasts of different tissue types in the MRI image. Among other things, the system he developed enables more individualized and automated measurements compared to the existing reference system.

Thanks to the two successful projects, the transfer of knowledge between OVGU, the STIMULATE research campus and the renowned research institutions in Boston will continue and expand in the future.
