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.

F-18-Fluoroestradiol Tumor Uptake Is Heterogeneous and Influenced by Site of Metastasis in Breast Cancer Patients

Heterogeneity of estrogen receptor (ER) expression in breast cancer is recognized. However, knowledge about varying expression across metastases and surrounding normal tissue in patients is scarce. We therefore analyzed 16 alpha-F-18-fluoro-17 beta-estradiol (F-18-FES) PET to assess ER expression heterogeneity. Methods: F-18-FES PET on accredited PET/CT camera systems performed in patients with ER-positive metastatic breast cancer November 2009-December 2014 was analyzed. Lesions with an SUVmax 1.5 or more were considered ER-positive, but liver lesions were excluded given high background liver signal. CT lesions with a diameter 10 mm or...

Have we forgotten imaging prior to and after kidney transplantation?

• The number of publications on imaging and kidney transplantation is low. • These publications are poorly cited, as compared with other fields of imaging. • Conversely, there is a clinical need for evidence-based recommendations. • Innovative advances for the use of imaging and kidney transplantation are essential. • An increased focus and adequate research funding are highly anticipated by clinicians.

FDG-PET/CT(A) imaging in large vessel vasculitis and polymyalgia rheumatica: joint procedural recommendation of the EANM, SNMMI, and the PET Interest Group (PIG), and endorsed by the ASNC
Published in: European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging

Large vessel vasculitis (LVV) is defined as a disease mainly affecting the large arteries, with two major variants. Takayasu arteritis (TA) and giant cell arteritis (GCA). GCA often coexists with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) in the same patient, since both belong to the same disease spectrum. FDG-PET/CT is a functional imaging technique which is an established tool in oncology, and has also demonstrated a role in the field of inflammatory diseases. Functional FDG-PET combined with anatomical CT angiography, FDG-PET/CT(A), may be of synergistic value for optimal diagnosis, monitoring of...
