Wouter J. H. Veldkamp, PhD (Project leader) 


I studied Electrical engineering at Delft University of Technology (1988-1994). In 1995 I became a PhD student at the department of Radiology at the Radboud UMC in Nijmegen. The subject of his PhD thesis was computer aided characterization of microcalcifications in mammograms (2000). From 1998 to 2000, I was trained to become a medical physicist at the same institute. From 2002, I was employed as an associate professor and medical physicist at the Radiology department of Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC). I was also affiliated with the Dutch National Expert and Training Centre For Breast Cancer Screening (LRCB) as scientific advisor (0.2 fte) from 2010-2017. 
My research focus is on medical image processing and image quality assessment 
in computed tomography and conventional x-ray imaging including mammography 
which is strongly related to the activities in this project.

Irene Hernández Girón, PhD

I am a Spanish researcher interested in medical imaging and objective methods for image quality assessment, in particular for Computed Tomography. I studied Physics and a master in Biomedical Physics at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), where I did research in dosimetry in Computed tomography, in particular for cardiac applications. My PhD  subject was "Model observers applied to low contrast detectability in Computed Tomography". Since 2015 I am a Postdoc researcher for the Radiology Department (Medical Physics group) at the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC). I have also done research in Monte Carlo simulations for dose assessment in CT. I am part of the working group to develop the "Quality control in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT): EFOMP-ESTRO-IAEA protocol".

My main research interests are image quality assessment, medical imaging, 
dosimetry, model observers, phantoms, 3D printing and computed tomography.

Christiana Balta, MsC



In 2012 I completed master-equivalent studies in Applied Mathematics and Physical Sciences at the National Technical University of Athens specialized in Applied Physics. In 2014 obtained a Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering specialized in Medical Physics at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands. My graduation thesis was “Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy for prostate cancer: Evaluating strategies to account for interfraction organ motion”.
Since June 2015, I am a PhD candidate at the Dutch Expert Center of Screening (LRCB) and the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine of the Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
My PhD subject is "Objective Clinical Image Quality Assessment for Breast Imaging".

My research interests are: medical imaging, image quality, model observers, anthropomorphic phantoms, mammography and breast tomosynthesis.
