The primary goals of this study are to: i. Identify genetic variations responsible for PLP across the whole genomeMore than 90% of SNPs are found in introns or intergenic regions and most of them are probably of little functional consequence.…
1. The primary objective is to evaluate the characteristics of the distal radial growth plate on MRI (including functional imaging techniques) and on conventional radiographs in young gymnasts with wrist pain, compared to young gymnasts without…
Primary Objective: - Are there mesurable changes in biochemical markers after BSSO in serum(CTX, P1NP, BALP, Osteocalcine, Calcium, vit D. CRP, BSE, leucocyten, IL6, creatine) and in urine(hydroxylysylpyridinoline en lysyspyridinoline)? - Can serum…
Is the lateral chest X-ray useful to look for vertebral fractures using the semiquantative method of genant in the geriatric population? Our hypothesis is that the lateral chest X-ray is a good alternative, with high sensitivity and specificity…
This pilot study will evaluate whether tumour hypoxia can be demonstrated in the bone marrow compartment of relapsing MM patients by using the tracer 18F-FAZA. The results will be compared with the results of the FDG-PET scan. In addition in vitro…
Is DEXA accurate to predict bone loss of the femur before undergoing hip revision arthroplasty and provide a tool for quantification of bone loss of the femur before hip revision arthroplasty? Can DEXA be used to monitor bone remodelling after hip…
1.To investigate if [18F]Fluoride PET-CT is a potential imaging technique for assessment of (changes in) disease activity of ankylosing spondylitis on baseline and after anti-TNF therapy (with MRI and clinical outcome as reference).Sub-study in 2…
The objective of this study is to assess the diagmostic accuracy of microMRI to detect ROD in children with ESRD and metabolic bone disease by oxalosis in patients suffering from oxalosis.
Primary objectiveThe primary objective is to evaluate the long-term functional outcome and the prevalence of osteoarthritis in patients surgically treated for SCFE between 1980-2002 in The Netherlands. We hypothesize a correlation between the…
The first aim of this study is to evaluate 1) the feasibility and 2) repeatability of a new exercise test protocol to measure the pysical fitness of persons with a lower limb amputation on the combined arm-leg (Cruiser) ergometer.
In the present study we will perform a feasibility study to demonstrate that 89Zirconium-bevacizumab PET scanning can visualize multiple myeloma lesions. Data from the present study may be used to design further studies with regard to the expression…
This study has two main objectives:• to evaluate the prevalence of dRTA in pSS using the urinary acidification test with FF and compare this against the gold standard test with AMCL.• to evaluate whether a low BMD is more prevalent in patients with…
To assess the diagnostic performance (sensitivity, specificity, ROC curve) of the bone SPECT/CT scans. To assess the intra- and interobserver variability of SPECT/CT in patients suspected of having UCH.
To obtain the reproducibility of the standing posture using with Der Wippe, a balancing device, with adjustable holder and acquire the 3D ultrasound of the spine of scoliotic patients
Prevalence of vertebral fractures on the thoracic lumbosacralspine X-ray.
To assess the diagnostic performance characteriscs of CT versus MRI scanning for suspected scaphoid fractures.
In this study the differences in variability and stability of people walking with and without a limb prosthesis will be investigated. In addition, it will be studied which of the employed outcome measures will discriminate best between both groups.…
The additional value of the new acquisition technique.
Evaluation of the accuracy of Low Dose CT for detecting dislocation in patients with acetabular fractures
To assess accuracy of 18F-sodiumfluoride (NaF) positron emission tomography (PET) and serum non-oxidized parathyroid hormone (PTH) as an accurate, reliable and easy applicable diagnostic tools for the assessment of bone turnover in chronic kidney…
