Andor Glaudemans
prof. dr.

I am a nuclear medicine specialist and always trying to implement innovative diagnostic and therapeutic methods in imaging. My main research interests involve infectious and inflammatory diseases, tumor-immunology, and development of new-targeted diagnostic tools for PET imaging. The latter focus is carried out in close collaboration with our radiochemists. Within the lymphoma research Groningen team we have a close collaboration with the department of hematology. The research is focused on finding new methods for diagnosis and therapy evaluation in several types of lymphomas. We have a special interest in post-transplant lymphatic disorders (PTLD). Furthermore, we are developing and evaluating several fields of radionuclide therapy, so called theranostics.

Using machine learning to improve the diagnostic accuracy of the modified Duke/ESC 2015 criteria in patients with suspected prosthetic valve endocarditis: a proof of concept study
Published in: European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging
Introduction: Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a serious complication of prosthetic valve implantation, with an estimated yearly incidence of at least 0.4-1.0%. The Duke criteria and subsequent modifications have been developed as a diagnostic framework for infective endocarditis (IE) in clinical studies. However, their sensitivity and specificity are limited, especially for PVE. Furthermore, their most recent versions (ESC2015 and ESC2023) include advanced imaging modalities, e.g., cardiac CTA and [18F]FDG PET/CT as major criteria. However, despite these significant changes, the weighing system using major and minor criteria has remained...

The Role of Fibroblast Activation Protein Inhibitor Positron Emission Tomography in Inflammatory and Infectious Diseases: An Updated Systematic Review
Published in: Pharmaceuticals
The role of fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is emerging for the assessment of non-oncological diseases, such as inflammatory and infectious diseases, even if the evidence in the literature is still in its initial phases. We conducted a systematic search of Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane library databases for studies published before 31 December 2023 reporting infectious and inflammatory disease imaging with FAPI PET/CT. We included twenty-one studies for a total of 1046 patients. The most frequent disease studied was lung interstitial disease,...

11C-Methionine uptake in meningiomas after stereotactic radiotherapy.
Published in: ANNALS OF NUCLEAR MEDICINE
OBJECTIVE: 11C-Methionine positron emission tomography (MET-PET) is used for stereotactic radiotherapy planning in meningioma patients. The role of MET-PET during subsequent follow-up (FU) is unclear. We analyzed the uptake of 11C-Methionine before and after stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) in patients with a complex meningioma and investigated if there was a difference between patients with progressive disease (PD) and stable disease (SD) during FU. METHODS: This retrospective study investigates 62 MET-PETs in 29 complex meningioma patients. Standardized uptake value (SUV) max and SUV peak tumor-to-normal ratios (T/N-ratios) were calculated, comparing...
