"The nuclear medicine department at the Netherlands Cancer Institute uses the latest generation of SPECT and PET scanners. As a clinical physicist, I am responsible for the correct functioning of this equipment and I work closely with doctors, lab technicians and technicians. Together we ensure that innovative techniques for diagnostics and treatment are introduced in an efficient and safe way."

"In addition, I am involved in research into the application of new techniques for image processing and radiation calculations, in which the use of artificial intelligence is also playing an increasingly important role in nuclear medicine. As a clinical physicist, it gives me great satisfaction to be able to contribute to the translation of these new techniques into clinical practice."
