8th Baltic Congress of Radiology

08.10.2022  Tallinn, Estonia

Biography: After graduating medical studies in 2012 from University of Tartu, Juhan Reimand entered the residency of radiology and nuclear medicine in the same university. During residency it became clear that his further interests lie in the field of neuroimaging, both in radiology and in nuclear medicine. This was reinforced with a 3-month clinical foreign exchange to Amsterdam in 2017 and by being involved in an international Alzheimer’s disease neuroimaging research project. Immediately after residency, he entered a joint PhD programme between Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and Tallinn University of Technology (Estonia). For that, Juhan lived in Amsterdam for three years working in a tertiary memory centre Alzheimercenter Amsterdam. The focus of the PhD studies was to explore possible differences between amyloid PET and cerebrospinal amyloid analysis. During his PhD studies, Juhan continued working part-time as a neuroradiologist and as part of further training, in 2018, he received the European Diploma in Neuroradiology. In 2021, Juhan successfully defended the PhD degree. Juhan is especially interested in the possibilities to image neurodegenerative disease with both MRI and PET. He is actively involved in the Estonian Association of Radiology.
