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.

OBJECTIVES: Wide variety in salivary gland 18F-FDG-uptake is observed in the general population. A general consensus about the usefulness of 18F-FDG-PET/CT to detect salivary gland inflammatory conditions, such as in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), is not yet clear. This study aimed to investigate whether there are differences in uptake of 18F-FDG in salivary glands among two autoimmune groups [pSS, giant cell arteritis (GCA)] and a non-autoimmune group (lung cancer). METHODS: PSS patients aged ≥50 years who underwent 18F-FDG-PET/CT were included and age-matched with GCA patients and a non-autoimmune...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide and have an increasing impact on society. Precision medicine, in which optimal care is identified for an individual or a group of individuals rather than for the average population, might provide significant health benefits for this patient group and decrease CVD morbidity and mortality. Molecular imaging provides the opportunity to assess biological processes in individuals in addition to anatomical context provided by other imaging modalities and could prove to be essential in the implementation of precision medicine in...

Chronic immune diseases mainly include autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Managing chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases has become a significant public health concern, and therapeutic advancements over the past 50 years have been substantial. As therapeutic tools continue to multiply, the challenge now lies in providing each patient with personalized care tailored to the specifics of their condition, ushering in the era of personalized medicine. Precise and holistic imaging is essential in this context to comprehensively map the inflammatory processes in each patient, identify prognostic factors, and monitor treatment...
