Medical physics laboratory Laboratory equipment

Here you will find information on our imaging procedures and detector systems, devices for functional diagnostics and various metrological workstations that are available to us in our laboratory. In addition, we have the opportunity to use further equipment and procedures in other laboratories of our partners both at the university and at Forschungszentrum Jülich.
