In deze sessie bespreken we recente ontwikkelingen op het gebied van het analyseren van de lichaamssamenstelling met behulp van beeldvormende technieken. We gaan daarbij in het bijzonder in op het gebruik van Computed Tomography (CT) beelden om de lichaamssamenstelling van oncologie patiënten te analyseren. …

Pre-conference workshop "The role of imaging in the assessment of body composition'

A growing body of evidence indicates that natural environments can positively influence people. This study investigated whether the use of motion nature projection in computed tomography (CT) imaging rooms is effective in mitigating psycho-physiological anxiety (vs. no intervention) using a quasirandomized …

Rationale: A higher protein intake is suggested to preserve muscle mass during aging, and may therefore reduce the risk for sarcopenia. We explored whether the amount, type (animal/vegetable) and essential amino acid (EAA) composition of protein intake were associated with 5-year change in mid-thigh …

Abstract—A survey about radiation protection in pediatric radiology was conducted among 22 general and seven children’s hospitals in the Netherlands. Questions concerned, for example, child protocols used for CT, fluoroscopy and x-ray imaging, number of images and scans made, radiation doses and measures …

Objective: In myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), abdominal activity often interferes with the evaluation of perfusion in the inferior wall, especially after pharmacological stress. In this randomized study, we examined the effect of carbonated water intake versus …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the inter-fractional deformation of the esophagus during radiotherapy treatment of esophageal cancer, using three-dimensional (3D) kilovolt (kV) conebeam computed tomography (CBCT). Additionally, deformation of the aorta and distance between aorta and esophagus …
