Åsa Carlsson Tedgren

Åsa Carlsson Tedgren is a Researcher at the Department of Oncology-Pathology, Karolinska Institutet, and leads the Clinical Radiation Therapy research group. She is affiliated with the Karolinska University Hospital's radiotherapy department, collaborating with oncologists and physicists on brachytherapy, external beam radiation therapy, and dual-energy CT applications. Her work spans radiation dosimetry, treatment planning, and detector response analysis.

She supervises numerous PhD students, including

• Freja Alpsten
• Simon Dahlander
• Elias Lindbäck
• Ricardo Palanco Zamora
• others

and contributes to ESTRO and AAPM educational programs. Her recent publications focus on heterogeneity handling, automated treatment plan validation, and prognostic modeling in brachytherapy.

Key research themes include

• Model-based dose calculation algorithms
• Monte Carlo simulations
• Prostate and ocular tumor treatment optimization
• Clinical audits and calibration standards
• Machine learning for medical imaging

with a strong emphasis on technical innovation and radiation safety in clinical settings.
