Karen Brage

Karen Brage is an External Lecturer affiliated with the Department of Clinical Research at the University of Southern Denmark, with collaborative ties to Karolinska Institutet (KI) and Odense University Hospital (OUH), particularly within the Research Unit of Radiology in Odense. Her role as an external lecturer suggests a part-time or adjunct academic position with active engagement in clinical radiology research and education.

Research Interests: Her work centers on medical imaging, with a focus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), elastography, pediatric imaging, and radiation dose optimization. She investigates diagnostic accuracy, imaging protocols, and the evolving role of radiographers in reporting CT and MRI findings. Her research also extends to innovative teaching methods such as virtual reality in radiography education.

Publication Trends: Her recent publications (2023–2025) reveal a strong emphasis on clinical applications of imaging systems like EOS, patient safety in radiography, and methodological improvements in imaging quality and dose reduction—particularly in vulnerable populations such as children and women. The integration of technology and evidence-based review in radiographer practice is a recurring theme.

• Nominated for The Young Investigator Reward (2017)
