Epilepsy is the most common serious chronic neurological disorder, affecting individuals of all ages. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a critical role as a first-line radiological procedure in assessing abnormalities associated with epilepsy.

Aging is associated with a wide range of molecular and structural changes throughout an individual’s lifespan, resulting in the deterioration of physical abilities and increased risk of disease. In the brain, aging results in cognitive decline and predisposes to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

Trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) methods aim to increase the fairness and transparency of AI algorithms. While this is a noble goal, current approaches are not well understood and actually risk making matters worse: Enforcing algorithmic fairness in diagnostic AI where some groups are systematically under-diagnosed can lead to increased bias in algorithms.

​NIBS-CP (NeuroImaging of Babies during Natural Sleep to Investigate Typical Development and Cerebral Palsy) is a brain research project at Hvidovre Hospital, supported by the Elsass Foundation. In NIBS-CP, we investigate the development of the brain and motor function in infants.

Molecular neuroimaging, e.g., positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission tomography (SPECT), is an in vivo brain scanning modality that uniquely can be used to investigate neuropharmacological effects and brain diseases in vivo.

The mental health system in Europe faces challenges, with extensive waiting times for diagnostic psychiatric appointments, and in Denmark, a national average waiting time of 92 weeks to see a specialist.
