Prof. PhD B.L.F. Smit (Molecular imaging from mice to men)

  1. characterization studies of newly developed radiotracers, which have the potential to become useful in futute human studies.
  2. molecular imaging in small laboratory animals for the characterization of newly developed radiotracers, especially for the detection of unstable atherosclerotic plaques.
  3. molecular imaging in small laboratory animals for the assessment of pathophysiologic pathways in cardiac diseases, especially in heart failure.
  4. Clinical molecular imaging, especially in patients with ischemic heart disease and heart failure.
  5. Clinical molecular imaging using radiotracers.
