Liv Bolstad Hysing

Liv Bolstad Hysing is Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Technology at University of Bergen and researcher at the Department of Cancer Treatment and Medical Physics at Haukeland University Hospital. Her research develops advanced statistical models to improve radiotherapy precision through better management of organ motion and deformation.

Research focuses on deformable organ modeling, Bayesian inference methods for patient-specific adaptation, multi-particle treatment verification in proton therapy, and secondary cancer risk estimation. Applications primarily target prostate, head and neck, and lung cancer radiotherapy.

Publications show progression from toxicity prediction modeling to contemporary work on Bayesian deformation models and hybrid multi-particle detection systems. Recent articles demonstrate innovation in handling interfractional motion through statistical learning approaches.

Collaborates with Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Erasmus MC Rotterdam, and international institutions. Develops automated treatment planning systems including beam angle optimization and motion-inclusive dose accumulation techniques.
