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.

OBJECTIVE: Vascular graft and endograft infection (VGEI) has high morbidity and mortality rates. Diagnosis is complicated since symptoms vary and can be non-specific. A recent meta-analysis identified the use of 18F-fluoro-D-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG PET(/CT)) as the most valuable tool for diagnosing VGEI and favorable to computed tomography as the current standard. However, the availability and varied use of several interpretation methods, without consensus on which interpretation method is best, complicates clinical use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of different...

Objectives. To compare colour duplex ultrasonography (CDU) findings with axillary F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT findings and to compare the diagnostic performance of temporal and axillary artery CDU with temporal artery CDU alone. Methods. Patients suspected of GCA were retrospectively included. Presence of a halo or occlusion was considered a positive CDU finding. FDG-PET/CT-assessed axillary artery involvement was defined as axillary artery FDG uptake higher than liver uptake. The reference was the clinical diagnosis after 6 months, which was based on symptomatology and additional diagnostic tests, with the exception of...

Purpose: To determine the frequency, types, and determinants of diagnostic errors in clinical FDG-PET/CT, based on addenda to the original report. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 4,099 consecutive clinical FDG-PET/CT scans with corresponding reports that were made at a tertiary care center in an 18-month period. FDG-PET/CT reports were scrutinized for the presence of an addendum enclosing a diagnostic error. Results: 90 of 4,099 FDG-PET/CT reports (2.2%) contained an addendum enclosing a diagnostic error. The distribution of perceptual and cognitive errors among these 90 diagnostic errors...
