18F-FACBC PET/MRI in the evaluation of human brain metastases: a case report
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Abstract Background: Patients with metastatic cancer to the brain have a poor prognosis. In clinical practice, MRI is used to delineate, diagnose and plan treatment of brain metastases. However, MRI alone is limited in ... -
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). ... -

3D image guided adaptive brachytherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer: experience and clinical results from a minimum of six years of follow-up
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In 2005, individualized 3D image guided brachytherapy was implemented for cervical cancer patients, in accordance with the (GYN) GEC ESTRO recommendation, at St. Olav's Hospital, Trondheim, Norway. This study reports the ... -
3D Myocardial Mechanical Wave Measurements: Toward In Vivo 3D Myocardial Elasticity Mapping
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objectives This study aimed to investigate the potential of a novel 3-dimensional (3D) mechanical wave velocity mapping technique, based on the natural mechanical waves produced by the heart itself, to approach a noninvasive ... -
3D ultrasound-guided resection of low-grade gliomas: principles and clinical examples
(Journal article, 2019)3D ultrasound (US) is a convenient tool for guiding the resection of low-grade gliomas, seemingly without deterioration in patients’ quality of life. This article offers an update of the intraoperative workflow and the ... -
5 Years of Exercise Intervention Did Not Benefit Cognition Compared to the Physical Activity Guidelines in Older Adults, but Higher Cardiorespiratory Fitness Did. A Generation 100 Substudy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Aerobic exercise is proposed to attenuate cognitive decline in aging. We investigated the effect of different aerobic exercise interventions and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) upon cognition throughout a 5-year ... -
A 36-month follow-up of decline in activities of daily living in individuals receiving domiciliary care
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background There have been few studies of how personal and instrumental activities of daily living (P-ADL and I-ADL) develop over time in older people receiving domiciliary care. This study aimed at assessing variables ... -
A balanced tissue composition reveals new metabolic and gene expression markers in prostate cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Molecular analysis of patient tissue samples is essential to characterize the in vivo variability in human cancers which are not accessible in cell-lines or animal models. This applies particularly to studies of tumor ... -
A European multicentre evaluation of detection and typing methods for human enteroviruses and parechoviruses using RNA transcripts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection has become the gold standard for diagnosis and typing of enterovirus (EV) and human parechovirus (HPeV) infections. Its effectiveness depends critically on using the appropriate ... -
