Casper Mihl

Associate professor

Dr Casper Mihl obtained his medical degree at Maastricht University in 2009.

He completed his radiology training in 2016, followed by a fellowship in abdominal radiology at the MUMC+. He received additional training in cardiovascular imaging at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney (2013) and the Alfred Heart Centre in Melbourne, Australia (2020). As of 2016, he works as a radiologist at Maastricht UMC+ with a special focus on cardiovascular and abdominal radiology. He also serves as the head of the CT department.

In 2016, he completed his PhD degree titled: 'decisive modification tools in coronary computed tomographic angiography; from phantom to patient'.

His primary emphasis in research is focused on the optimization of scan and contrast media injection protocols in CT and multimodality imaging of the heart with a special focus on (supra)ventricular arrhythmias.
