Dr. Klaus Engel (46) from Siemens Healthineers in Erlangen has ushered medical imaging into a new era with "cinematic rendering": Instead of slice images, which only radiologists can assess, photorealistic images of the inside of the body are created from the data of X-ray machines or computer tomographs. Engel was named "Inventor of the Year 2016" in the "Outstanding Invention" category for this achievement.
