Name : Frederik Barkhof
Department : Radiology and Image Analysis Centre (IAC), VU Medical Centre
Position : Professor of Neuroradiology
CURRICULUM VITAE
Frederik Barkhof received his MD from Vrije University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands in 1988 and defended his PhD thesis “Gadolinium-enhnaced MR imaging in multiple sclerosis”I n 1992, for which he received the Philips Prize for Radiology in 1992 and the Lucien Appel Prize for Neuroradiology in 1994. He currently serves as a full Professor in Neuroradiology at Vrije University Medical Centre (VUmc). As a neuroradiologist, he is a senior staff member of the MS Center Amsterdam, senior consultant of the Alzheimer Center and involved in the Centre for Childhood White Matter Disorders, Vumc, Amsterdam. He is the Scientific Director of the Image Analysis Centre (IAC), involved in analysis of multicentre drug trials. Prof. Barkhof is the chairman of the Ducth Society of Neuroradiology and the MAGNIMS study group. His serves on the Editorial boards of Brain, Eur Radiology, Neuroradiology, Journal of Neurology and JNNP.
Prof. Barkhof’s research interests focus on multiple sclerosis (spinal cord MRI, grey matter, atrophy, histopathology correlations), on ageing (white matter lesions), and on dementia (hippocampal atrophy and functional MR in Alzheimer’s disease). He authored more than 450 papers referenced in PubMed, has an H-factor of 60 and is the co-author of the books “Magnetic resonance in Dementia” and “Clinical applications of functional brain MRI”.
