Career

edit

In 2011, he completed his PhD, focusing on radiological findings of the brain and lungs in young adults born prematurely or with low birth weight, investigating their clinical implications.[2][3] Appointed as a professor in 2018, his research includes long-term follow-up of premature children[4] and MRI studies of children exposed to drugs or alcohol during pregnancy, cancer patients, and in cases of suspected child abuse.

Often called upon as an expert witness in legal cases involving suspected child abuse, he provides radiological assessments to clarify injuries.[5] Aukland also teaches radiology at the University of Bergen and speaks at international radiology conferences.[1] Additionally, he has contributed to radiology education in Tanzania by organizing and teaching courses modeled after Norwegian specialist programs.[6]
