IMT is the first department of biomedical engineering in Sweden and has focused on both research and education in this field since its inception. We co-founded the national conference Medicinteknikdagarna.
The main areas of our research are biomedical image science, biomedical modelling and informatics, biomedical optics and neuroengineering. We have strong multidisciplinary teams that include engineers, clinical and preclinical researchers, and industrial partners.
The research addresses issues relevant to both the healthcare sector and society at large. We maintain extensive national and international interdisciplinary research networks and collaborations.
Research
Our research fields include optical techniques to investigate and image microcirculation in the skin and brain, diffusion MRI, functional MRI, automated body composition analysis, deep learning-based analysis of radiology and digital pathology images, deep brain stimulation, navigation and monitoring in brain surgery, digital twins and systems biology, as well as hybrid methods that combine machine learning with mechanistic models.
