On Monday 20 April 2026 at 14:00, Mattias Hedegaard Kristensen defends his PhD dissertation entitled “Hyperpolarized 129Xenon Functional Lung Imaging: Methodological Validation and Clinical Applications in Post-COVID-19 and Interstitial Lung Disease”.
Hyperpolarized xenon-129 MR imaging enables unique regional insights into the lungs’ key functions - ventilation and gas exchange - without the use of ionizing radiation. This technique holds potential for deeper understanding of lung disease development and course. These perspectives are explored through clinical studies and technical validation of images in a new PhD project from Health, Aarhus
University, conducted by Mattias Hedegaard Kristensen.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in the Aula, Regional Hospital Gødstrup. Please see the press release for more information.
