Life

Hansmann studied medicine in Frankfurt from 1958 to 1960 and then in Heidelberg until 1964 . He later worked at the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center , where he a. a. studied the behavior of radionuclides in mammals. This was also the subject of his doctorate in 1964 at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . Hansmann later moved to Düsseldorf and the Lukas Clinic in Solingen .

In 1968, Hansmann went to Bonn University Hospital as an assistant . It was here that his interest in sonography was aroused when one day he found a long-lost ultrasound device in the laundry of the university clinic. He developed new methods in obstetric ultrasound diagnostics and, in 1972, was the first to successfully carry out an ultrasound-guided intrauterine transfusion in cases of rhesus incompatibility.

In 1973 Hansmann completed his habilitation on fetal biometry in Bonn.

In 1978 he became a professor at the University of Bonn . In 1984 he was appointed director of the department for prenatal diagnosis and therapy and later the department for obstetrics and prenatal medicine at the UFK Bonn.

The use of Hansmann and other doctors for routine ultrasound examinations of pregnant women led to the introduction of trimester examinations in 1979 . These studies have also been partially adopted by other countries. At times, Hansmann was head of the German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (DEGUM) and Vice President of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrices and Gynecology (ISUOG) as well as on the board of many national and international perinatological, fetal medicine societies.
