My research focuses on finding optimal X-ray imaging techniques in health care. We develop methods to measure patient doses and the quality of the radiographic images in collaboration with health care professionals.

Optimal use of ionising radiation for diagnostic therapeutic purposes

My research interest focuses on:

  • Radiation dosimetry in radiology and radiological interventions
  • Optimisation of radiological examinations with respect to image quality and patient doses
  • Quantitative computed tomography for more accurate radiotherapy

Assignments

  • Optimal use of ionising radiation for diagnostic therapeutic purposes
    My research interest focuses on optimisation of radiological examinations with respect to image quality and patient doses and quantitative computed tomography for more accurate radiotherapy treatment. We use the clinical X ray equipment at CMIV and at Region Östergötland. I supervise PhD students, medical physicists, biomedical engineers and radiology staff in their research and professional training.
