DOHART (DOwnHeARTed)

An important purpose of the DOHART study is to improve the care and treatment of people with heart disease and depressive disorders using an internet-based self-help programme based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

Studies to improve survival and quality of life among women with gynaecological cancer

We want to improve the treatment for patients with gynaecological cancer with the aim of prolonging survival without causing short- and long-term side-effects affecting daily life activities.

Quantitative computed tomography for more accurate radiotherapy

We are developing quantitative image reconstruction methods with dual-energy computed tomography to measure the atomic composition of patient organs before radio therapy.

Optimizing X-ray imaging procedures

Optimising medical x-ray examination aims to find the settings on the x-ray unit that minimises the patient exposure while maintaining sufficient image quality.

Dosimetry in X-ray imaging

Modern X-ray procedures results in a considerable contribution to population doses from ionising radiation. We develop computer simulation models to facilitate more accurate calibration of radiation dosimetres to assess patient exposure.
