Hospital (Department of Nuclear Medicine, Department of Thoracic
Medicine and Department of Medical Imaging). The period of employment
for the position is three years.
The person holding the post will be working joining the project
“Simultaneous PET/MR in lymph node staging of lung cancer”. The main aim
of this project is to investigate whether integrated PET/MR will improve
the accuracy when assessing the extent of disease in lung cancer
patients compared to today’s method of choice, PET/CT. Specific aims
centre on technical challenges regarding the acquisition and analysis of
simultaneous PET/MR examinations for lung cancer and include: an
improved MR-based attenuation correction of the PET images, and an
MR-based correction technique for respiratory motion in the mediastinum.
