Area of work: 3D echocardiography, fetal cardiac gating.

Background: M.Sc. in applied mathematics from NTNU, 1992, worked with sw development for GE Vingmed Ultrasound from 1994 to 2002.

Ph.D project:
Title: Dynamic 3D ultrasound techniques in quantitative echocardiography
Sub projects:
  • 4D fetal echocardiography: Introducing tissue Doppler gating (TDOG), a new gating technique in fetal echocardiography, we achieve high-frame-rate 3D loops of the fetal heart.
    • Sample video clips [3-vessel view] [Ascending aorta] [Apical four-chamber view]
          (Uses .wmv format. Right-click on the links and save the video clips to a local file)
    • IEEE-UFFC Ultrasonic Symposium 2002 proceedings article [abstract] [full text]
    • IEEE-UFFC Ultrasonic Symposium 2002 presentation [MS Powerpoint, movies excluded]
    • "Tissue Doppler gated (TDOG) dynamic three-dimensional ultrasound imaging of the fetal heart", Ultarsound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2004 Aug;24(2):192-8. [abstract] [full text]

  • Temporal morphing of ultrasound B-mode and 3D data utilizing the velocity field.
    • IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectics and Frequency Control paper, submitted mars 2005 [abstract] [full text]
    • IEEE-UFFC Ultrasonic Symposium 2004 proceedings article [abstract] [full text]
    • IEEE-UFFC Ultrasonic Symposium 2004 presentation [MS Powerpoint]
    • Presentation of concept (in norwegian) [MS Powerpoint]

  • Stitching of sub volumes into larger volumes for 3D ultrasound data, using ECG gating.
2004 achievments:
  • One paper published in Ultarsound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (see below). Accepted may 5th.
  • One oral presentation with proceedings on UFFC Joint aniversary conference (see below).
  • GcMat maintainence and distribution.
  • 7 months with parental leave.
2005 plans:
