Laura Saule

Laura Saule is a Scientific Assistant in the Department of Radiology at Riga Stradins University and serves as a Curriculum Validation Expert. Her work contributes to the Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through clinical medicine research.

Her primary research areas include Medical Imaging, Nuclear Medicine, and Oncology, with specific expertise in prostate cancer diagnostics using PET/CT and MRI, as well as novel radionuclide applications. She investigates multimodal imaging techniques for renal masses and carotid plaque instability, aiming to develop standardized diagnostic algorithms.

Recent publications demonstrate a focus on integrating advanced imaging modalities such as multiparametric MRI, PET/CT, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound to improve cancer detection and characterization. Her work often involves quantitative analysis, including apparent diffusion coefficient measurements, to assess disease aggressiveness and guide treatment.

No scientific awards were mentioned in the available information.

Saule has contributed to multiple research projects, including EU-funded initiatives on high-performance computing for digital skills training and national grants from the Latvian Council of Science for prostate cancer and renal mass imaging studies. She collaborates with international partners through networks like PRISMAP for radionuclide research.

She is an active participant in research teams at Riga Stradins University, engaging in projects that bridge clinical practice with translational research in radiology and nuclear medicine.
