Research staff
Ole Graumann, Head of Research, Professor, Consultant

Ole Graumann is board certified in radiology.
He has special interest in oncology intervention and is one of the leading experts in Europe within Cryo ablation of renal cancer. Ole Graumann has in an impressing innovative way built an extremely effective teamwork-based CT intervention team. People from around the world are visiting the CT intervention team at Odense University Hospital to see and get inspiration from the workflow. Dr Graumann is a proctor and has trained many colleagues in the Northern Europe. He currently serves as Head of Research at the Innovation Unit of Radiology at University of Southern Denmark. Dr Graumann has led and participated in a multitude of clinical trials and research. He is currently main and co-supervisor to many PhD students and post doctorial. At the moment, the largest research area is Cryo ablation, artificial intelligence, clinical skill training and eduation. Ole Graumann has written and contributed to a number of scientific books and published works within the subject of radiology.

Michael Pedersen, Adjunct Professor

Professor in biotechnology og bioimaging at Department of Clinical Medicine – Comparative Medicin Lab, Aarhus University
Appointed Adjunct Professor at the Research and Innovation Unit of Radiology, University of Southern Denmark and Odense University Hospital
Research plan:
Experimental diagnostic medical imaging research – Accelerated validation process and implementation in clinical practice.
Special emphases will be on the following initiatives:
1) Renal disease including cancer: Diagnostic imaging to avoid biopsy and monitor treatment response.
2) Liver disease: Diagnostic imaging to avoid biopsy and monitor treatment response.
3) Brain and kidney elastography – MRI elastography could become a new method to measure the pressure in ventricles and fibrosis in the kidneys.
Maryann Hardy, Adjunct Professor

Professor of Radiography & Imaging Practice Research, Bradford University
Vice President at the British Institute of Radiology
Appointed Adjunct Professor at the Research and Innovation Unit of Radiology, University of Southern Denmark and Odense University Hospital
Research plan:
”Radiographers’ Role in Population Safeguarding: Non-accidental Injury (NAI) / Suspected Physical Injury (SPI)”
The research area will support the highly specialized function of radiological imaging in suspected child abuse and among other aspects it will assess radiation dose and, radiographers’ skills, training etc.
