Stellingen behorende bij het proefschrift

Medical imaging before and after kidney transplantation

1. For renal scintigraphy after kidney transplantation, there is a mismatch between expectations and reality (dit proefschrift)

2. Only quantification and standardisation of medical imaging can prove its clinical value and identify its weaknesses (dit proefschrift)

3. Despite the temptation to focus on delayed graft function in transplant research, strong patient and graft endpoints should be the major clinical target (dit proefschrift)

4. Visualisation of early-stage calcification with nuclear medicine techniques can support the quest for identification of patients prone to development of calcification (dit proefschrift)

5. Keep calcium in the bones to avoid calcification of the vessels (dit proefschrift)

6. With the negative implications of cardiovascular status on kidney transplant outcomes, stringent cardiovascular monitoring is the path forward (dit proefschrift)

7. After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it (Maria Skłodowska-Curie)

8. The delivery of medical care is to do as much nothing as possible (Samuel Shem, The House of God)

9. Differences are not intended to separate, to alienate. We are different precisely in order to realize our need of one another (Desmond Tutu)

10. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented (Elie Wiesel)
