Research groups

The department's MRI research includes new measurement techniques and post-processing tools in functional and quantitative MRI (e.g., perfusion, diffusion and chemical exchange saturation transfer). In nuclear medicine, research is focused on clinical dosimetry for radionuclide therapy, small-scale dosimetry and Monte-Carlo modelling of imaging systems. Research in radiotherapy physics aims towards development of personalized, adaptive radiotherapy using multi-modality imaging and active motion management, building on improved understanding of clinical dosimetry and radiobiology. X-ray phase-contrast research is focused on new preclinical imaging modalities to improve image contrast through dark-field and phase-contrast imaging using synchrotron radiation (in collaboration with MAX IV) and an in-house micro-focus x-ray tube. Generally, dosimetry and health aspects related to radiation are important issues in all our research areas.
