Anders Eklund

Senior associate professor

I am an associate professor and share my time between the Department of Biomedical Engineering (IMT) and the Department of Computer and Information Science (IDA).

Development of new methods for medical images

My research is about analyzing medical images and developing new methods (image processing, statistics, machine learning) for extracting important information from the images.

Biomedical Image Science

We develop methods & techniques for depicting anatomy & function in the human body & its organs. From imaging techniques, through methods of analysis and quantification of image information, to validation of new methods and image-based biomarkers

ASSIST

In this VINNOVA/ITEA project, the goal is to streamline radiation therapy for the treatment of tumours. In this project, IMT collaborates with RaySearch, Spectronic, Inovia and Eigenvision.

Bayesian fMRI tumour

In this CENIIT project, Bayesian methods for fMRI informed brain tumour treatment planning, the goal is to improve treatment of brain tumours, by including images of brain activity in Elektas software for tumour treatment planning.

Methods in Neuroimaging Genetics

In this VR project, the goal is to combine brain images and genetic data to better understand brain diseases.

Reducing healthcare queues after the pandemic

At the end of September, the ASSIST project received 9 million sek in funding. The hope is that their research on automated analysis of brain images will be able to free up time for healthcare professionals.

Softwares for fMRI yield erroneous results

Common statistical methods used to analyse brain activity through images taken with MRI scanners cannot be trusted, as shown by Anders Eklund and Hans Knutsson of Linköping University, in the highly-ranked journal PNAS.
