Claus-C. Glüer
Claus-Christian Glüer is Professor of Medical Physics in the Department of Radiology and Neuroradiology at the University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein, Christian-Albrechts-University in Kiel, Germany. For over 30 years, Professor Glüer has focused his research on osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. His research is aimed at the development of innovative imaging techniques and their quantitative evaluation. Professor Glüer has contributed specifically to the development of bone densitometry, quantitative ultrasound methods and high-resolution computed tomography approaches. He has coordinated several multicentre studies, and is responsible for developing case-finding models and strategies for the German Osteoporosis Guidelines. His current research focus is intelligent imaging, i.e the application of artificial intelligence methods for improved radiological diagnosis and prognosis. In the area of preclinical research Professor Glüer is particularly interested in multimodal technologies for molecular imaging, with applications in oncology, inflammation and skeletal research. In order to pursue these imaging approaches he co-founded the Molecular Imaging North Competence Center at the Christian-Albrechts-University, the preclinical imaging core unit of the university.
Professor Glüer is Co-Chair of the International Federation of Musculoskeletal Research Societies and past President of the European Calcified Tissue Society, of the German Society for Osteology, and of the German Academy of Bone and Joint Sciences. He is a member of the Committee of Scientific Advisors of the International Osteoporosis Foundation. Professor Glüer has published more than 265 articles in peer-reviewed journals with h-index=90, 20 books and book chapters, and he holds four patents/applications.
