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.

The association between bone mineral density and aortic calcification: the existence of a bone-vascular axis after renal transplantation
Characterization of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder with semi-quantitative FDG-PET/CT
Aim/Introduction: One of the most dire complications of hematopoietic stem cell (HSCT) and solid organ transplantation (SOT) is the development of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). PTLD compromises a broad spectrum of disorders classified by the 2017 World Health Organization (WHO) in non-destructive, polymorphic, monomorphic and classic Hodgkin lymphoma. Distinct morphologies are associated with a more favorable clinical course and better response to initial treatment. Reduction of immunosuppression, commonly used as first-line treatment, has been associated with higher response rates in non-destructive and polymorphic PTLD, while a more aggressive...

Patient complaints in radiology: 9-year experience at a European tertiary care center
Published in: European Radiology
Objective To determine the frequency, nature (using standardized coding taxonomy), and temporal trends of patient complaints about the radiological service provided in a European tertiary care center. Methods This retrospective study included all written patient complaints received by the department of radiology of a European tertiary care center within a 9-year period. Results A total of 94 written patient complaints were included. Overall complaint frequency was 14.4 per 100,000 radiological procedures. Complaint frequencies per 100,000 procedures were 103.7 for interventional radiology, 13.9 for MRI, 6.9 for ultrasonography, 6.5...
