Mohammed R. S. Sunoqrot

About

A postdoc researcher at the CIMORe Group with a background in Medical Technology and Biomedical Engineering. I have experience with medical image analysis, image processing, data management, radiomics, machine and deep learning.

My primary focus is on developing, refining, and testing Computer-Aided Diagnosis systems for prostate cancer using multiparametric MRI. These systems have the potential to significantly improve the treatment of prostate cancer in clinical practice.

I received my PhD in Medical Technology from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway, in August 2021. Prior to that, I completed an MSc in Biomedical Engineering with distinction from the University of Dundee in the UK in 2016, and a BSc in Biomedical Engineering from the German Jordanian University in Jordan in 2014.

Research

AI-based decision support system for detection and localization of prostate cancer

The aim of this project is to develop, optimize, and validate a robust, accurate, precise and generalized AI-based decision support system using mpMRI for prostate cancer detection and localization with a large, multicenter cohort.
