In short, Ronald Boellaard's research entails the following: 

Artificial intelligence and machine learning for FDG PET/CT response prediction in diffuse large B cell lymphoma

'The project aims at the application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods to improve prognosis and treatment response prediction based on FDG PET/CT studies of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients. This project is an extension of a successfully running international consortium project PETRA (petralymphoma.org). The Hanarth Fonds grant will be used to investigate the use of radiomics analysis in combination with machine learning as well as the use of convolution neural networks for deep radiomics analysis of FDG PET/CT to better predict response to treatment, thereby avoiding futile treatments, as compared to current FDG PET/CT reads.'
