The CoE for Cardiovascular and pulmonary research will focus on creating a comprehensive computational and experimental framework unifying appropriate MRI methods, image analysis, model building and visualization algorithms, and simulation techniques based on computational mechanics. It aims to provide a highly efficient tool for the clinicians in disease diagnosis and in assessing its progression thereby to arrive at a personalized therapeutical measure. The CoE also aims to come with low-cost medical support devices like LVAD, IV-LITHOTRIPSY, Heart Valves, Pacemakers etc., to meet the need of economically poor countries.
