Über Autor(innen)

Professor Edwin van Beek is a Professor of Radiology, Medicine and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Iowa and practices as a cardiothoracic radiologist. An alumnus from Erasmus University Rotterdam Medical School, he received his formal radiology education and also obtained his PhD in the field of pulmonary embolism under the guidance of Professor Jan-Wouter ten Cate (a former editor of this book) and the current co-editor Professor Harry Büller. He has just accepted the Forbes Chair of Medical Imaging at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, where he will continue his work in the field of multimodality cardiac and pulmonary imaging from June 2009.

Professor Harry Büller is a Professor of Vascular Medicine at the Academic Medical Centre, Amsterdam, and a world-renowned expert in the field of venous thromboembolism. He received his medical training at the University of Amsterdam, and subsequently underwent his training in Internal Medicine in Amsterdam, after which he spent time at McMaster University, Hamilton, for his education in clinical epidemiology. He has been a sought-after consultant, has been involved in many key studies of management and treatment and has published widely on this topic during a career spanning more than 15years.

Professor Matthijs Oudkerk is full Professor of Radiology at the State University of Groningen and internationally known for his pioneering work in the field of CT and MRI for cardiovascular and pulmonary vascular diseases at Erasmus University Rotterdam and the University Medical Centre Groningen. He received and obtained his medical education, PhD and his radiological training at Leiden University. For his work on cardiovascular radiology he was honoured by the Russian and Polish Academies of Sciences. He was the initiator of the development of management strategies in pulmonary embolism, about which he wrote the first publications together with Professor van Beek and Professor Büller in the early 1990s. He initiated and edited the first edition of this book together with Professor van Beek and Professor ten Cate.
The three editors of this second edition have worked together on a variety of projects for more than fifteen years, ranging from multidisciplinary consensus working groups, writing of articles to collaboration in multicentre trials.
