Carmen Cananau

I am a board-certified Neuroradiologist since 2016 and a Nuclear Medicine specialist since 2020. Currently, I work at Karolinska University Hospital in Solna. In 2019, I began my doctoral studies at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience (CNS), Karolinska Institutet, with a research focus on advanced MRI techniques for diagnosing Multiple Sclerosis (MS). My research focuses on advanced MRI imaging techniques for diagnosing MS, particularly novel methods for detecting active MS lesions with and without gadolinium-based contrast agents.

Since March 2019, I have also served as the Medical Coordinator for the PET/MR unit at Karolinska University Hospital. In this role, I focus on optimizing hybrid imaging techniques to improve diagnostic accuracy in both clinical practice and research projects.
