Scientific Education and Research Profile
I started my scientific work and education under the supervision of Professor
Martti Kormano in 1989. In addition to practical supervision of research
projects, his teaching included scientific writing, statistical methods, and
planning and conducting scientific projects. Moreover, his profound
understanding of integrating research and teaching has had a paramount impact
on my scientific thinking. During this period that lasted until 1996, I was
able to publish several clinical and basic research papers (see list of
publications and my CV). Since the ultimate goal in medical research should
always be to benefit the patient, I have combined basic and clinical
research. This goal is reflected by the versatility of scientific production.
Therefore, the selected papers (see separate list) also include less cited
articles describing my experience in various areas besides main research
lines.
My first line of research focused on MR imaging of patellofemoral disorders.
I joined a young and innovative research group, and during a relatively short
period (1990-1993) I produced eight original papers, including five clinical
papers that comprise my medical dissertation. Besides, my research included
sports and exercise related injuries and studies of relaxation properties of
novel MR contrast agents and tissue specificity of low-field magnetization
transfer contrast imaging.
From August 1996 to July 1998 I was a post-doctoral research fellow at
Brigham & - Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA under
the supervision of Professor Ferenc Jolesz, M.D., the father of MR imaged
surgery. The period enabled a deep introduction to MR imaging and image
guided interventions and therapy. My main interest was kinematic
musculoskeletal imaging using a novel vertically open MR scanner. This was a
continuation of my work in Turku University Hospital, where I had started a
study kinematic imaging of cervical spine (these two papers were later
published). I finished a white paper on musculoskeletal function and
published a paper of patellofemoral function in ACL-deficient knees. The
studies of MR guided interventions led to review papers and an original paper
about a novel method using high-focused ultrasound treatment of synovitis. In
addition to these clinically oriented projects, I finished a study on
biexponential behavior of T2 relaxation in exercised muscle. This
two-year-period is the basis of my wide international contacts and network
including USA, Germany, Sweden, and South Africa.
After finishing my radiology training in the summer of 1999, I was almost
immediately appointed as an acting radiologist-in chief of a large and busy
trauma-musculoskeletal imaging section at the Helsinki University Hospital,
and the position was tenured in January 2002. Since then, my research has
focused heavily on trauma radiology. Due to the nature of trauma, the
research has largely been retrospective. The introduction of multi-slice-CT
(MDCT) and well-functioning PACS has helped create a productive research
environment even in a busy trauma practice with heavy clinical and
administrative workload. Five dissertations have been completed and four are
currently in progress. The research is clinically oriented and mainly focuses
on diagnostic capabilities of MDCT, dual-energy CT, and MRI in severe chest
and extremity trauma. Multiple research projects are being performed in
collaboration with various clinical departments. The most recent research is
in collaboration with Planmed Inc and was focused on developing a novel
cone-beam CT dedicated to extremity imaging. The product went on-sale fall
2011. The recent research at Karolinska Institute is focused on dual-energy
CT for polytrauma patients.
In conclusion, I have been very productive in both basic and clinical
research as well as clinical and administrative work.
