Simon Thalén
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiological Sciences Laboratory
Bio
I am a clinical physiology resident at Karolinska University Hospital and completed my thesis on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With a background in mathematics, I am trying to live at the intersection of mathematics, technology, and medicine. My thesis focused on MRI evaluation of constrictive heart diseases, such as pericardial effusion and constrictive pericarditis. I used phase contrast MRI to measure respiratory variation in mitral and tricuspid peak early blood flow velocities and T1 mapping to characterize pericardial effusion fluid.
