1. Harnessing the molecular Trojan horse : Evaluating properties of preclinical Aβ immunoPET radioligands for optimized brain delivery via the transferrin receptor
Abstract : With high specificity and selectivity to targets, antibodies are prime candidates for positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands. They do not passively cross the blood-brain barrier which has hindered their development for imaging intrabrain targets, like amyloid-β (Aβ) in Alzheimer’s disease. READ MORE

2. On lymphedema of the lower limbs after treatment of endometrial cancer : with emphasis on incidence, quality of life, risk factors, and health economy
Abstract : Objectives: The overall purpose of this study was to investigate the long-term consequences of primary surgical treatment of endometrial cancer with emphasis on lymphadenectomy, lymphedema development in the limbs, health-related quality of life, and health economy aspects. The primary objective was to assess the incidence of lymphedema both objectively and subjectively by using three different methods to determine lymphedema. READ MORE

3. Error reduction strategies for quantitative PET with focus on hybrid PET/MRI
Abstract : Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an important tool for detection, staging and follow-up in a wide range of diseases, including cancer and neurological disorders. As a functional imaging tool, PET can visualize biological processes, where positron emitting radioactive isotopes are connected to molecules with different functions in the body. READ MORE

4. Contributions to quantitative dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI
Abstract : Background: Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) has the potential to produce images of physiological quantities such as blood flow, blood vessel volume fraction, and blood vessel permeability. Such information is highly valuable, e.g., in oncology. READ MORE

5. Development and simulated observations of the Jovian Neutrals Analyzer
Abstract : This thesis deals with the development of the Jovian Neutrals Analyzer (JNA) for the Jupiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission to Jupiter, planned to launch in 2023. Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, orbits the Sun at five times the distance from the Earth to the Sun, accompanied by dozens of moons, rings, and the largest object in the SolarSystem: the Jovian magnetosphere.
