- Quantitative MR-based imaging of physical biomarkers
- Radiotherapy coupled with hyperthermia - adapting the biological equivalent dose concept
- Metrology of automated data analysis for cardiac arrhythmia management
- Metrology for drug delivery
- Metrology and innovation for early diagnosis and accurate stratification of patients with neurodegenerative diseases
- Providing the measurement infrastructure to allow quantitative diagnostic methods for biomarkers of coronary heart diseases
SI Broader Scope
- Large-scale dimensional measurements for geodesy
