Research interests

Christian Wassipaul, MD, is a resident at the Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image-guided Therapy and PhD-Student at the Medical University of Vienna. He focuses on CT technology including Ultra-low-dose CT of the chest and its clinical value in comparison to other imaging techniques. Further research interests are CT imaging in CPR patients with and without ECMO as well as the oprimization of imaging protocols for CT angiography and with photon counting detector CT. Corresponding to his additional background in business administration (Vienna University of Economics and Business), Christian Wassipaul is interested in health economics as well as process management and efficiency.

Research interests:

  • Ultra-low-dose CT
  • Computed tomography of CPR-patients w/o ECMO
  • Computed tomography imaging protocol optimization

Techniques, methods & infrastructure

The Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image-guided Therapy at the Medical University of Vienna is one of the largest radiology departments in Europe housing a wide range of CT systems including a photon-counting detector CT and several 3rd generation CT systems.
