Peter Lundberg

Adjunct Professor

Adjunct professor in radiological science (RAD/DISP) focusing on quantitative magnetic resonance physics.

Medical Imaging Science

I research the function of various organs using modern quantitative imaging techniques and mathematical models. I am particularly interested in explaining the biological background of various diseases such as liver disease, cancer, neurological, and inflammatory diseases, as well as Federated Learning, particularly text-based AI.

Research

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease which has become the most common liver disease affecting adults and children.

Functional brain imaging

In our research group, we use combined fMRI-EEG and mathematical modelling in studies of brain function related to different mental states e.g., sleep, wakefulness, meditation, and pain.

Research Centres

Possible biological explanation for increased cancer risk in dense breasts

The risk of developing breast cancer is higher in what are known as dense breasts. Researchers at LiU have now shown that there are major biological differences between dense breasts and nondense breasts.

Liver examinations without needles

How is your liver doing? Decades of research into the use of magnet resonance imaging is now being put to work to gain information about patients’ livers – without needles.

Magnetic resonance finds fatty liver

Taking tissue samples to diagnose fatty liver can be replaced in most cases by a painless magnetic resonance investigation, according to a new study.

Organisation
