Gabriel P. Krestin is a radiologist. He is an emeritus professor of radiology at Erasmus MC,in the Netherlands.
Krestin was born in Romania and emigrated to Germany in 1974. He graduated in 1981 from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Cologne,where he also completed his radiology training and PhD in 1989.
In 1990,he joined the Department of Radiology at the University Hospital of Zürich,becoming associate professor of radiology and head of clinical radiology in 1993. He served as acting chair of the department from 1995 until 1997,when he moved to the Netherlands to become professor and chair of the Department of Radiology at Erasmus MC. Between 1998 and 2010,he was also a visiting professor at Stanford University Medical School.[ citation needed ]
From 2013 to 2021,he chaired the Division of Diagnostics &Advice at Erasmus MC and served as a member of the medical staff's managing board. During 2016–2017,Krestin was the acting director of the Department of Pharmacy and integrated nuclear medicine and radiology into the Department of Radiology &Nuclear Medicine. [1] Under his leadership the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at Erasmus MC developed to one of the leading scientific institutions in medical imaging in Europe. In the almost 25 years of his tenure the faculty grew from around 20 radiologists to almost 100 physicians and scientists.
Krestin was the founder (in 2006) of the European Institute for Biomedical Imaging Research (EIBIR) located in Vienna and chaired its Shareholder Assembly until 2014 and became subsequently its Scientific Director until 2023. The Institute is a non-profit research organization owned by the major European scientific societies involved in the field of biomedical imaging. EIBIR shapes the landscape of European biomedical imaging research by supporting scientists and helping them secure funding for their innovative projects.
Krestin retired as chair at Erasmus MC in 2021 and now serves as an advisor and board member for multiple medical technology companies. He is the founder of Quantib BV,an AI company focused on image analysis,and is currently a board member of FLUIDDA NV, [2] Gleamer.ai, [3] and Holland PTC. [4] He chairs the board of LeQuest BV and serves as a strategic advisor to companies including Bracco S.p.A. and Synaptive Medical.
Krestin was awarded the Couch-Kerley Traveling Professorship of the Royal College of Radiologists (UK),the Albers-Schönberg Medal of the German Radiological Society,the Schinz Medal from the Swiss Society of Medical Radiology,and gold medals from the European Society of Radiology,the Asian Oceanian Society of Radiology,and the International Society for Strategic Studies in Radiology (IS3R). He is an honorary fellow of the American College of Radiology and the Royal College of Radiologists in the UK. He was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Medicine in 2017 [5] and became a Knight of the Order of the Dutch Lion in 2022. [6]
Radiology is the medical specialty that uses medical imaging to diagnose diseases and guide treatment within the bodies of humans and other animals. It began with radiography,but today it includes all imaging modalities. This includes technologies that use no ionizing electromagnetic radiation,such as ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging),as well as others that do use radiation,such as computed tomography (CT),fluoroscopy,and nuclear medicine including positron emission tomography (PET). Interventional radiology is the performance of usually minimally invasive medical procedures with the guidance of imaging technologies such as those mentioned above.
Medical physics deals with the application of the concepts and methods of physics to the prevention,diagnosis and treatment of human diseases with a specific goal of improving human health and well-being. Since 2008,medical physics has been included as a health profession according to International Standard Classification of Occupation of the International Labour Organization.
Scintigraphy,also known as a gamma scan,is a diagnostic test in nuclear medicine,where radioisotopes attached to drugs that travel to a specific organ or tissue (radiopharmaceuticals) are taken internally and the emitted gamma radiation is captured by gamma cameras,which are external detectors that form two-dimensional images in a process similar to the capture of x-ray images. In contrast,SPECT and positron emission tomography (PET) form 3-dimensional images and are therefore classified as separate techniques from scintigraphy,although they also use gamma cameras to detect internal radiation. Scintigraphy is unlike a diagnostic X-ray where external radiation is passed through the body to form an image.
The European Society of Radiology (ESR) is an international medical society based in Vienna,Austria dedicated to the promotion and coordination of scientific,philanthropic,intellectual and professional activities of radiology in Europe. In addition to various other activities,the ESR serves as an umbrella organisation for European radiologists,organises the annual European Congress of Radiology (ECR) and coordinates the publication of European Radiology,a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal. Additionally,the ESR pilots the harmonisation of teaching programmes throughout Europe with various activities and initiatives.
Imaging informatics,also known as radiology informatics or medical imaging informatics,is a subspecialty of biomedical informatics that aims to improve the efficiency,accuracy,usability and reliability of medical imaging services within the healthcare enterprise. It is devoted to the study of how information about and contained within medical images is retrieved,analyzed,enhanced,and exchanged throughout the medical enterprise.
Nuclear medicine physicians,also called nuclear radiologists or simply nucleologists,are medical specialists that use tracers,usually radiopharmaceuticals,for diagnosis and therapy. Nuclear medicine procedures are the major clinical applications of molecular imaging and molecular therapy. In the United States,nuclear medicine physicians are certified by the American Board of Nuclear Medicine and the American Osteopathic Board of Nuclear Medicine.
Dame Janet Elizabeth Husband is Emeritus Professor of Radiology at the Institute of Cancer Research. She had a career in diagnostic radiology that spanned nearly 40 years,using scanning technology to diagnose,stage,and follow-up cancer. She continues to support medicine and research as a board member and advisor for various organisations.
Burton Drayer,MD,FACR,FANN,is an American radiologist and nationally recognized authority on the use of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging for diagnosing neurological disorders. From 2003 to 2008,he served as president,The Mount Sinai Hospital.

Clinical physiology is an academic discipline within the medical sciences and a clinical medical specialty for physicians in the health care systems of Sweden,Denmark,Portugal and Finland. Clinical physiology is characterized as a branch of physiology that uses a functional approach to understand the pathophysiology of a disease.
Ronald J. Ross is a Cleveland,Ohio radiologist known for research on brain injury in professional and amateur boxers and for the first clinical use of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging on human patients. Ross is also credited with the first use of head and whole body computed tomography imaging (CT) in a private clinical setting in the United States.
Ferenc Andras Jolesz was a Hungarian-American physician and scientist best known for his research on image guided therapy,the process by which information derived from diagnostic imaging is used to improve the localization and targeting of diseased tissue to monitor and control treatment during surgical and interventional procedures. He pioneered the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging-guided interventions and introduced of a variety of new medical procedures based on novel combinations of imaging and therapy delivery.
