Analysing the heart ads an extra dimension to the imaging since it is in constant motion. The project is working on optimizing the accuracy, measurement time, and robustness of 4D flow MRI for clinical use in the near future.

A study, led by researchers at LiU and Region Östergötland, shows that cancer survivors are at greater risk for cardiovascular diseases, other cancers and other diagnoses later in life.

CIM:s tvärvetenskapliga forskningskluster syftar till att öka förståelsen för det kardiovaskulära systemet i hälsa och sjukdom genom utveckling och tillämpning av nya bildbaserade metoder för bedömning av funktion, hemodynamik och vävnadens karaktär.

This project develops novel methods for better risk assessment of carotid plaque by focusing on plaque composition and blood flow parameters rather than level of vessel constriction.

We conduct research and teach within subjects relating to cardiovascular sciences. The research includes both basic and methodological and clinical research.

Evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function is a part of echocardiography which has been adjusted several times with the introduction of new methods.

Is a Mediterranean diet with reduced carbohydrate content a better choice than traditional low-fat diet for patients with coronary heart disease?

In collaboration with Scandinavian Real Heart we develop the surgical and aenesthesiological technique for implanting an artificial heart in patients with chronic heart failure.

Advanced CT creates amazing visualization of the beating heart. However, the complex interactions of blood flow are not fully reflected by these images. This project aims to extract blood flow data from CT images using image-based simulations.

Thymus may play a bigger role in the immune system of adults than was previously believed. With age, the glandular tissue in the thymus is replaced by fat, but the rate at which this happens is linked to sex, age and lifestyle factors.
