MIC - Institute of Mathematics and Image Computing

The Institute of Mathematics and Image Computing in tandem with Fraunhofer MEVIS provide mathematical methods and practical solutions for state-of-the-art problems in medical imaging. A primary goal is to bridge the gap between fundamental research and industrial development and to provide solutions that are mathematically waterproofed and thus simply work and simplify work.

Our activities range from education and training of highly qualified personnel, over fundamental and applied mathematical research to the development of numerically sound and efficient algorithms.
