RADIOLOGICAL RESEARCH The Research and Innovation Unit of Radiology features medical doctors, radiographers, one nurse and research staff collaborating to perform innovation and research for the benefit of the patients. We are engaged in innovation and research in order to find the best way to diagnose and treat various diseases. We mainly perform clinical innovation and research in relation to the daily workflow. It is our main target to ensure research within all professions and to achieve interdisciplinary research of benefit to the patients. Hence, we will initiate research and innovation in all professions and research areas. In 2021, we had the following connected to our unit: 1 Professor- Poul Erik Andersen 2 Adjunct Professors - Maryann Hardy and Michael Pedersen 5 Associate professors – Pernille Greisen, Maja Lynge Fransen, Lisbet Brønsro Larsen, Benjamin Rasmussen, Bo Mussmann and Ole Graumann 3 Guest Researchers – Rune Overgaard Jensen, Michael Brun Andersen and Louise Aarup Duus 2 Post Docs - Pia Iben Pietersen and Janni Jensen 5 PhD students - Mohammad Talal Elhakim, Jonas Asgaard Bojsen, Ahmed Abdi Abdel, Henriette List and Theresa Junker 3 Undergraduate research students – Jonas Dragsbaek Larsen, Marco Dybdahl and Johanne Kühl Lauridsen 1 Research coordinator - Tina Hansen Barbisan 3 Research assistants – Amanda Elisabeth Rønnegaard, John Valtersson and Christian Greve Jensen Several Bachelor and Master students Currently, we are engaged in international collaborations, and we are aiming for further international collaboration in 2022. This will open up new possibilities for international research visits, and furthermore, we hope to attract international researchers and PhD students to our unit. 2022 will also be the year with further focus on our research areas: Artificial Intelligence with Benjamin S Rasmussen in lead. In 2022, we will also be part of commercial projects that will contribute to the financing of research activities and research equipment. 3

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR PROJECTS Bo Mussmann, Research Radiographer, PhD, Post Doc Radiographers Role in Population Safeguarding: Non-accidental Injury (NAI) / Suspected Physical Injury (SPI) Radiographers often work with members of society’s most vulnerable to experiencing physical abuse, and as such, require the knowledge and skills to identify and escalate any concerns relating to (physical) abuse. On completion, the substantial evidence base developed will: • Provide the underpinning framework for high quality radiographic practice with respect to NAI/SPI; • Form the basis of a standardised international curriculum; • Clarify and promote radiographer responsibilities within the safeguarding team and reporting pathway. 4
