Søren Ravn

Søren Ravn serves as a Ledende overlæge (Chief Physician) at Aalborg University Hospital within The Faculty of Medicine, specifically in the Department of Nuclear Medicine. His clinical and research activities focus on advanced nuclear imaging techniques and their application in oncology and cardiology.

His primary research interests span Nuclear Medicine, Oncology, and Medical Imaging, with particular expertise in prostate cancer diagnostics, bone metastasis detection, and PET/CT imaging optimization. Recent work demonstrates significant contributions to radiation dose reduction methodologies in SPECT-CT systems while maintaining diagnostic accuracy.

Analyzing his publication trends, Ravn's research shows a strong emphasis on clinical validation of imaging protocols and technological improvements in nuclear medicine. His 2024 publications reveal concentrated efforts in optimizing CT dose parameters using tin filters and iterative reconstruction techniques, while his 2022 work established critical benchmarks for observer accuracy in prostate cancer metastasis detection using novel PET tracers.

Ravn was awarded his PhD by Aalborg University's Faculty of Medicine in December 2016 for research involving MR imaging applications before, during, and after treatment protocols.
