Imaging”

1. Despite their potentially beneficial function, mannose-receptor bearing M2 macrophages constitute an attractive imaging target for high risk atherosclerotic plaques (this thesis).

2. 18_{F-fluorodeoxymannose may be a superior imaging tracer for imaging of high risk}

atherosclerotic plaques to 18_{F-fluorodeoxyglucose, because of targeting mannose}

receptor-bearing M2 macrophages (this thesis).

3. In vivo imaging methods to detect necrosis and apoptosis are valuable tools for evaluation of novel therapies myocardial infarction (this thesis).

4. With its favorable pharmacokinetic profile, 111_{In-GSAO has an edge over previously}

established cardiac necrosis imaging tracers (this thesis).

5. A clinically available and safe antibiotic with substantial anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and anti-necrotic properties, minocycline is an attractive cardioprotective agent (this thesis).

6. The application of clinical cardiovascular molecular imaging will likely be limited to high-stake situations, such as selecting patients for invasive or expensive therapies.

7. Spijt? Ik doe niet aan spijt (Olaf de Haas).

8. Laten we ons nergens wat van aantrekken en op de gewone tijd gaan eten (Gerard Reve, De avonden).

9. You know what they say: It’s better to have dyspareuned than never to have pareuned at all (Samuel Shem, The House of God).
