Within the space of only nine years, the Healthineers team made up of Edgar Mueller (60), Mariappan Nadar (52), Michaela Schmidt (48) and Michael Zenge (41) managed to take basic mathematical research and turn it into a new image acquisition technology for MRI scans. With the help of their compressed sensing technology, the time required to scan a beating heart can be slashed from six minutes to 25 seconds. As a result, patients no longer have to hold their breath for long periods of time in order to obtain sharp images. For their work, the researchers who work in Erlangen and Princeton, New Jersey (USA), have been named Inventors of the Year in the Outstanding Invention category. Learn more:
