Kristina Thorsteinsson

Kristina Thorsteinsson serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Her institutional base is at Blegdamsvej 3, 2200 Copenhagen N, with primary affiliation to the Capital Region of Denmark (Region Hovedstaden) as reflected in her regionh.dk email domain.

Her research centers on infectious disease diagnostics using advanced nuclear medicine techniques, with specific expertise in FDG PET/CT applications for bacterial infections like tularemia. She investigates how functional imaging modalities can improve detection and characterization of glandular infections, bridging clinical microbiology and radiological diagnostics.

Recent scholarly output demonstrates her focus on translating imaging findings into clinical practice, exemplified by her 2025 Diagnostics journal article on PET/CT patterns in tularemia. This work highlights emerging trends in using metabolic imaging for infectious disease management rather than solely oncological applications.

Collaboration networks indicate active engagement within Denmark's clinical research ecosystem, particularly through university-hospital partnerships in the Copenhagen region. Her work contributes to evolving diagnostic protocols for challenging bacterial infections where conventional methods may fall short.
