(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Objective To investigate the diagnostic potential of simultaneous 18F-fluciclovine PET/MRI for pelvic lymph node (LN) staging in patients with high-risk prostate cancer. Methods High-risk prostate cancer patients (n=28) ... -
1q21.1 distal copy number variants are associated with cerebral and cognitive alterations in humans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Low-frequency 1q21.1 distal deletion and duplication copy number variant (CNV) carriers are predisposed to multiple neurodevelopmental disorders, including schizophrenia, autism and intellectual disability. Human carriers ... -
2-hydroxyglutarate as a magnetic resonance biomarker for glioma subtyping
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genes are frequently found in gliomas and in a fraction of acute myeloid leukemia patients. This results in the production of an oncometabolite, 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). ... -

2D and 3D echocardiography during inotropic alterations and after recent myocardial infarction
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2012:378, Doctoral thesis, 2012)Vurdering av venstre ventrikkels størrelse og funksjon er helt sentral ved enhver ekkokardiografisk undersøkelse og den vanligste kliniske indikasjon for å utføre ultralyd av hjertet. I dette prosjektet ble hjertefunksjonen ... -
3-D Doppler imaging in cardiac applications using high frame-rate sequences
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:60, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Several decades after the establishment of Doppler ultrasound, quantification and imaging of blood flow using Doppler-based techniques continue to face multiple challenges. Out-of-plane flow, transit-time broadening and ... -
30-day mortality in patients after hip fracture surgery: A comparison of the Charlson Comorbidity Index score and ASA score used in two prediction models

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Objective. To assess associations between the intake of different types of alcoholic beverages and the 32-year incidence of myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes, and cancer, as well as mortality, in a middle-aged female ... -
A 39 kb structural variant causing Lynch Syndrome detected by optical genome mapping and nanopore sequencing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Lynch Syndrome (LS) is a hereditary cancer syndrome caused by pathogenic germline variants in one of the four mismatch repair (MMR) genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2. It is characterized by a significantly increased risk of ... -
3CAPS - A structural AP-site analogue as a tool to investigate DNA base excision repair
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Abasic sites (AP-sites) are frequent DNA lesions, arising by spontaneous base hydrolysis or as intermediates of base excision repair (BER). The hemiacetal at the anomeric centre renders them chemically reactive, which ... -
