This thesis focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of bronchiectasis. First, the radiological diagnosis and image analysis of bronchiectasis is described. Second, the use of inhaled antibiotics by bronchiectasis patients is studied, and the deposition of antibiotics is assessed with computational fluid dynamics, using computed tomography (CT) images of bronchiectasis patients.
The public defence will take place at the Prof. Andries Queridoroom, 3rd floor Education Center, Erasmus MC. The ceremony will begin exactly at 15.30 PM. In light of the solemn nature of the ceremony, we recommend that you do not take children under the age of 6 to the first part of the ceremony.
