The 103rd scientific assembly and annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) was held November 26th – December 1st, 2017 in Chicago. Among more than 11,000 submitted abstracts, PhD candidate Sigmund Ytre-Hauge was selected to present a recent study conducted at Haukeland University Hospital and the University of Bergen: Preoperative Tumor Texture Analysis from MRI Predicts High-Risk Status and Reduced Survival in Endometrial Carcinomas.

Radiologist Sigmund Ytre-Hauge has been a PhD candidate since 2015, affiliated to Bergen Abdominal Imaging Group and Bergen Gynecologic Cancer Research Group, with his project Functional imaging for individualized treatment of uterine cancer.

- A great experience! Just being there, at the world’s #1 radiology assembly among 50,000+ other attendees, is awesome. To get this unique opportunity to present our research to the international community is a great acknowledgement, Sigmund says enthusiastically shortly after returning to Norway.

The presented study is recently also submitted as an original article to a scientific journal. The study is co-authored by Julie A. Dybvik, Arvid Lundervold, Øyvind O. Salvesen, Camilla Krakstad, Kristine E. Fasmer, Henrica M. Werner, Balaji Ganeshan, Erling Høivik, Line Bjørge, Jone Trovik and Ingfrid S. Haldorsen.
