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.

Translation of New Molecular Imaging Approaches to the Clinical Setting: Bridging the Gap to Implementation

Molecular imaging with PET is a rapidly emerging technique. In breast cancer patients, more than 45 different PET tracers have been or are presently being tested. With a good rationale, after development of the tracer and proven feasibility, it is of interest to evaluate whether there is a potential meaningful role for the tracer in the clinical setting-such as in staging, in the (early) prediction of a treatment response, or in supporting drug choices. So far, only F-18-FDG PET has been incorporated into breast cancer guidelines. For proof...

Feasibility of [18F]-RGD for ex vivo imaging of atherosclerosis in detection of alpha v beta 3 integrin expression

Background. Inflammation and angiogenesis play an important role in atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Therefore, molecular imaging of these processes could be used for determination of rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaques. alpha v beta 3 integrin is involved in the process of angiogenesis. Targeted imaging of alpha v beta 3 integrin has been shown to be possible in previous studies on tumor models, using radiolabeled arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD). Our aim was to investigate feasibility of ex vivo detection of alpha v beta 3 integrin in carotid endarterectomy (CEA) specimens. Methods and Results. Nineteen...

ImmunoPET with Anti-Mesothelin Antibody in Patients with Pancreatic and Ovarian Cancer before Anti-Mesothelin Antibody-Drug Conjugate Treatment
Published in: Clinical Cancer Research
Access to document 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-15-1272
PURPOSE: Mesothelin (MSLN) is frequently overexpressed in pancreatic and ovarian cancers, making it a potential drug target. We performed an 89Zr-PET imaging study with MMOT0530A, a MSLN antibody, in conjunction with a phase I study with the antibody-drug conjugate DMOT4039A, containing MMOT0530A bound to MMAE. The aim was to study antibody tumor uptake, whole body distribution and relation between uptake, response to treatment and MSLN expression. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Before DMOT4039A treatment, patients received 37 MBq 89Zr-MMOT0530A followed by PET/CT imaging 2, 4, and 7 days post injection (pi)....

Pitfalls and Limitations of Radionuclide and Hybrid Imaging in Infection and Inflammation
Published in: Seminars in Nuclear Medicine
Access to document 10.1053/j.semnuclmed.2015.02.005
Both the referring clinician and the nuclear medicine specialist must be aware of the main known or potential pitfalls that can occur in infection and inflammation imaging. They must decide in consensus which tracer and which imaging protocol should be used for a specific indication. This article provides an overview of all the pitfalls and limitations of nuclear medicine techniques to image infections and inflammation. Both general pitfalls and pitfalls in specific clinical entities are discussed. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
