On Friday 20 February 2026 at 14.00, Uffe Kjærgaard defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Metabolic Imaging of Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Hyperpolarized MRI".
Hyperpolarized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a novel imaging technique that, by increasing the MR signal by up to 20,000-fold, enables real-time mapping of hepatic metabolism. The method holds potential for both earlier diagnosis of primary liver cancer and more precise planning of surgical treatment. Through preclinical animal models and clinical studies, these perspectives are investigated in a new PhD project from the Faculty of Health, Aarhus University.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in Auditorium F290-104, Aarhus University Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
