Kursleder: Asbjørn Ødegård

Asbjørn Ødegård har vært spesialist i radiologi siden 1995 og har etter dette vært tilknyttet Kar-Thorax, senere kar-seksjonen ved Klinikk for bildediagnostikk på St. Olavs hospital i Trondheim. Fra 2009 til 2023 som seksjonsoverlege. Han har jobbet mye med angiografi og karintervensjon, de siste årene også nevrovaskulær intervensjon. I tillegg har han lang erfaring med CT og til dels MR som diagnostisk verktøy ved sykdommer i hjerte, kar og thorax for øvrig.

Asbjørn har vært involvert i innkjøp av CT-maskiner til sykehuset i hele perioden og har opparbeidet seg en del nødvendig teknisk kunnskap. Han er spesielt interessert i bearbeiding av bildedata ved hjelp av ulike 3D-verktøy.

Asbjørn har vært kursleder og foredragsholder ved en rekke kurs for spesialister og spesialistkandidater, spesielt innenfor karkirurgi, kar- og thoraxradiologi.

Han har vært med på å skrive noen artikler.

Monica Segelsjö

Monica Segelsjö arbetar som röntgensjuksköterska på Akademiska Sjukhuset i Uppsala. Sedan 25 år arbetat enbart med CT och det senaste året till stor del med vår nya fotonräknare. Är metodansvarig för delar av CT verksamheten inkl. forskning. Har en magisterexamen och deltar i forskningsprojekt på kliniken.

På fritiden tar jag gärna på mig löparskorna och tar en runda.

Stein Magnus Aukland

Jobber som overlege/barneradiolog på Radiologisk avdeling ,Haukeland Universitetssykehus og er i tillegg professor i radiologi (medisinsk bildediagnostikk) ved Klinisk institutt 1, Universitetet i Bergen.

Ferdig utdannet lege ved Universitetet i Bergen i 1992 og har drevet med radiologi siden 1996, ferdig spesialist i radiologi i 2002 og  jobbet med barn siden 2001, som overlege ved Seksjon for Barn («Barnerøntgen») på Haukeland Universitetssykehus.

Medisinsk doktorgrad (PhD) i 2011 som omhandler bildediagnostikk av hjerne og lunger hos for-tidlig fødte barn. Har hovedansvar for neuroimaging av barn og ser, i praksis, alle CT/MR undersøkelser av hjernen hos nyfødte/spedbarn/små barn, som utføres på Haukeland Universitetssykehus. Får også tilsendt bilder fra andre steder i landet.

Underviser og/eller deltar regelmessig på nasjonale og internasjonale kurs som omhandler neuroimaging av barn og på spesialkonferanser/kongresser som omhandler Child Abuse (med fokus på bildediagnostikk).

Jeg har en formell utdanning i medisinsk sakkyndighet, i form av Kurs i strafferett og straffeprosess for medisinske sakkyndige («B-kurset») og også har deltatt/undervist på «C-kurset»

I løpet av de siste 15-20 årene har jeg vitnet i flere rettsaker og vært rettsoppnevnt sakkyndig i saker som omhandler mulige overgrep mot barn og i saker med spørsmål om fødselsskade.

Arne Stray Pedersen

Arne Stray-Pedersen er overlege og professor i rettsmedisin og har jobbet som rettsmedisiner siden 2003.  Ved Oslo universitetssykehus utføres ca 1400 rettsmedisinske obduksjoner hvert år. Alle lik er siden 2014 blitt skannet med egen CT skanner før obduksjonen. Som supplement til obduksjon, gir postmortem CT bedre mulighet for å påvise skader og fremmedlegemer i kroppen. PMCT sikrer objektiv dokumentasjon om det er behov for senere «second opinion» og gir også mulighet for å visualisere obduksjonsfunn for politiet / retten. Det ligger store muligheter for å utvikle automatiske granskningsverktøy basert på PMCT når funnene senere kontrolleres ved obduksjon.

Arne er 51 år, gift, har tre barn og når han ikke er på jobb er han ivrig brettseiler og basketballtrener. 

Daniel Aadnevik

Mitt navn er Daniel Aadnevik og jeg jobber som medisinsk fysiker ved Haukeland Universitetssjukehus i Bergen. Her på sykehuset er vi en liten gruppe bestående av fire fysikere som jobber med røntgenmodaliteter, og jeg er koordinator for gruppen vår. Det betyr at jeg fordeler oppgaver internt og er røntgengruppens kontaktperson utenfor avdelingen. Vi er organisert på Seksjon for Medisinsk Fysikk og sitter sammen med fysikere som jobber med stråleterapi. Vi har også fysikere som jobber med MR og nukleærmedisin på sykehuset, men de er organisert på andre avdelinger.

Bakgrunnen min er en mastergrad i kjernefysikk ved Universitetet i Bergen, og jeg startet å jobbe på Haukeland i 2014. Arbeidet vårt består for det meste av optimaliseringsprosjekter innen CT og røntgen, og vi samarbeider tett med radiografer og radiologer for å tilpasse stråledose og bildeprosessering for å oppnå ønsket bildekvalitet. Vi er også involvert i innkjøp av røntgenutstyr, undervisning innen strålevern og strålebruk, rådgivning i forbindelse med skjerming av nybygg og nye installasjoner samt veiledning av studenter innen både radiografi og medisinsk fysikk. I tillegg er vi ansvarlig for å utføre jevnlig kvalitetskontroll av alle røntgenapparatene i Helse Bergen og Førde. 

Røntgengruppen i Bergen tilstreber å holde oss faglig oppdatert og deltar derfor jevnlig på kurs og konferanser innen radiologi og medisinsk fysikk. Vi har også verv i ulike faggrupper som jobber med standardisering av radiologiske prosedyrer og verv i ulike komiteer som arrangerer nasjonale og internasjonale konferanser.

Utenom jobb prøver jeg å være en aktiv person og er glad i lange løpeturer. Jeg er gift og har to barn, og tilbringer mesteparten av fritiden sammen med familien min.
