Dr. Michael Brun Andersen

Dr. Andersen is the Radiologist and expert in imaging of lung diseases, including lung cancer and infectious diseases of the lungs. His research interests and latest work extends to developing methodologies for quantitative computed tomography, texture analysis, application of advanced imaging such as Dual Energy CT and MRI to better understand and objective quality various diseases of the lungs. He has been elected Chairman of the Danish Lung Radiology Society during Covid19 pandemic. Dr. Michael Brun Andersen is a highly accomplished radiologist and expert in lung imaging, with a particular focus on lung cancer and infectious lung diseases. His expertise spans various advanced imaging techniques and their applications in pulmonary medicine. Dr. Andersen's research interests encompass: Developing methodologies for quantitative computed tomography (CT) Texture analysis in medical imaging Application of advanced imaging techniques such as Dual Energy CT and MRI Improving understanding and objective quality assessment of various lung diseases His work has significantly contributed to the field of lung cancer imaging and diagnosis. For instance, he has conducted studies on: CT texture analysis (CTTA) as a predictor of overall survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients Differentiation between malignant and benign lymph nodes in the mediastinum using CT texture analysis The use of dynamic contrast-enhanced CT (DCE-CT) parameters as functional imaging biomarkers in NSCLC patients undergoing immunotherapy His election as Chairman of the Danish Lung Radiology Society during the COVID-19 pandemic underscores his expertise in infectious lung diseases and his leadership in the field. Recent Work and Collaborations Dr. Andersen's recent work includes: * Investigating the use of handheld ultrasound devices for pneumonia diagnosis in emergency departments * Studying the consequences of losing incidental pulmonary nodules to follow-up * Exploring the potential of photon-counting CT for improved pulmonary embolism imaging He has collaborated on various interdisciplinary projects, including studies on occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica and its relation to interstitial lung diseases. Dr. Andersen's expertise in lung imaging, particularly in the context of cancer and infectious diseases, makes him a valuable contributor to the field of radiology and pulmonary medicine. His work continues to advance our understanding of lung diseases and improve diagnostic and prognostic capabilities in clinical practice.
