Knut Håkon Hole

Knut Håkon Hole is an Associate Professor at the University of Oslo's Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine. His research focuses on diagnostic imaging applications in oncology, particularly in prostate and rectal cancers. He specializes in MRI, PET, and radiogenomics techniques to assess tumor biology, treatment response, and recurrence.

• Expertise: Prostate cancer imaging, neoadjuvant therapy response, tumor hypoxia, and imaging biomarkers
• Key affiliations: Oslo University Hospital (Rikshospitalet), Radium Hospital

Research interests include:

• Developing MRI and PET protocols for cancer staging and recurrence detection
• Integrating imaging with genomic data (radiogenomics)
• Optimizing therapeutic approaches using imaging biomarkers

Recent work highlights:

• Prostate cancer radiogenomics and hypoxia biomarkers (2024)
• MRI/PET comparisons for tumor localization (2021-2023)
• Neoadjuvant therapy response assessment in rectal and breast cancers (2020-2023)

Publications span over 50 peer-reviewed articles with a focus on translational imaging research. Collaborates extensively with oncology and urology teams.
