T. Velleman – Dutch nuclear medicine and radiology residence: Exploring challenges and opportunities.
Medical imaging has undergone rapid developments over the past decades and has become an essential component of modern healthcare. Techniques in radiology, such as X-ray, ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), together with nuclear medicine techniques including single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET), enable early diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and image-guided therapies for a wide range of diseases.
A.C. Berrens – Tailoring prostate cancer surgery : radio- and fluorescence guidance to improve surgical accuracy
In dit proefschrift is onderzocht en bevestigd dat beeldgeleide chirurgie in prostaatkanker is een innovatieve manier is om met meer precisie te opereren. Er is eerst systematisch gekeken wat er tot op dat moment bekend was in de wereld en hierop verder gebouwd door een Delphi consensus te houden met een internationaal panel van experts.
F. Kleiburg – Clinical value of PSMA-targeted PET/CT imaging in prostate and non-prostate cancers
In the last decade, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeted PET/CT has emerged as a novel imaging modality that allows for more accurate detection of tumour lesions compared to conventional imaging (CT and bone scintigraphy). PSMA PET/CT can also provide a multitude of quantitative parameters that may reflect tumour burden and aggressiveness of the disease.
