Tobias Todsen

Tobias Todsen serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. His primary research integrates technical innovation with clinical science to advance diagnostics and minimally invasive treatments, particularly in head and neck ultrasound applications. He directs the Surgical Ultrasound Research Group in Copenhagen (SURGiC), an interdisciplinary team of medical doctors and engineers, and holds leadership roles as Coordinating Associate Professor for the Technical University Hospital of Greater Copenhagen (TUH) and President of the Danish Society of Diagnostic Ultrasound (DSDU).

Dr. Todsen's research interests span ultrasound technology, artificial intelligence in medical diagnostics, head and neck surgery, virtual reality applications, and global health outreach. His work focuses on developing innovative solutions for clinical problems, including AI-assisted ultrasound diagnostics, 3D imaging for surgical guidance, and regenerative therapies for cancer survivors. He has pioneered educational initiatives such as the Copenhagen International Head & Neck Ultrasound Course, which has trained over 200 physicians from 30+ countries, and developed the 'Data in Medicine' course introducing AI applications to medical students.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong trend toward human-AI collaboration in medical diagnostics, particularly in ultrasound applications for thyroid and head/neck conditions. His research increasingly incorporates large language models for medical assessment while maintaining rigorous clinical validation through multicenter trials. The work demonstrates significant translational impact, with several innovations progressing to patent applications and commercialization through his spinout company 3Sonic.

Dr. Todsen has secured over 4 million Euros in competitive research funding and led multicenter clinical trials involving more than 30,000 participants. His educational contributions include technology-enhanced learning materials with over 300,000 views, including a WHO clinical guide. As course director for medical education programs, he has successfully implemented curriculum innovations for 296 medical students in the 'Data in Medicine' course.

He directs the Surgical Ultrasound Research Group (SURGiC), which operates at the intersection of clinical practice and engineering innovation. The group has developed multiple patented technologies and established the spinout company 3Sonic to commercialize their diagnostic solutions. Dr. Todsen also maintains active clinical practice through Copenhagen University Hospital (Region H), where his email affiliation indicates his operational base for translational research.
