Perfusion Imaging
Many customers rely on our pulse sequence developments to measure organ blood flow and to quantify perfusion. For this purpose we offer image acquisition solutions suitable for many clinical and research settings where diagnostic information about local blood flow and exchange processes between blood-pool and tissue is required.
 One of our core research interests is in the field ofcontrast agent free perfusion and circulation imaging using Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL). We developed high performance ASL methods to depict and quantify a wide range of perfusion parameters with outstanding Signal-to-Noise-Ratio. These technical developments have been acknowledged and are being used by the world’s top clinical researchers. This is why our methods in this field have recently found their way into several products of renowned MRI scanner vendors.
Functional Imaging
Functional imaging has more and more clinical relevance in surgery as well as in clinical psychiatry and psychology research. To obtain reliable and reproducible results even in complex brain research contexts, we offer optimized methods to ensure optimum contrast-to-noise ratio in neuro-functional BOLD imaging and perfusion imaging. In many projects  we have implemented high performance image acquisition as well as post-processing and image evaluation methods. If you are planning clinical neuro-functional studies and want to concentrate on your clinical competences, we can help you with the technical implementation and design of the MRI methodology.

Oxygen Extraction Mapping
Oxygen supply is a crucial parameter for tissue viability and vitality. Thus, MR parameters that are able to quantify oxygen consumption are of high interest in all fields of clinical research, particularly in cancer diagnosis and therapy. As part of our research efforts, we are offering advanced acquisition and evaluation strategies to determine oxygen consumption in tissue that are promising for tissue viability quantification. These methods are used and evaluated by several of our customers in current research projects.
Diffusion Imaging
The possibility to measure diffusion in MR offers a unique window to molecular and physiological  processes in the human body. Methods developed by mediri can e.g. determine the direction of brain fibers or changes in tissue homogeneity due to physiologic alterations or diseases. Quantifiable diffusion protocols offer a comparable measure for changes in patients with certain deficits – e.g. Multiple sclerosis, Infarction, psychiatric disorders etc.
