EOS Edge Scanner Featured on TV Rijnmond
We’re proud that TV Rijnmond and rtvrijnmond.nl featured the new EOS Edge scanner at Erasmus MC. In the segment, Fernando Rivadeneira explains how the system supports population health research.
As one of the few of its kind in the Netherlands, the EOS Edge offers full-body imaging with minimal radiation — a major innovation in medical diagnostics.
SINTER Study – Integrating Genotype and Phenotype to Understand Bone Fragility in Patients with Underlying Chronic Disease
The SINTER Study investigates how genes and lifestyle interact to affect bone fragility in chronic disease patients, using genetic profiling and detailed imaging to identify key risk factors.
MenoPause Consortium
FIDELIO, funded by Horizon 2020, trained researchers on bone fragility in type 2 diabetes, focusing on genetic mechanisms and biomarkers for improved detection and treatment of diabetes-induced osteoporosis.
Inauguration of EOS Edge System: A Leap Forward in Medical Research

Hoe helpt de studie van erfelijke kenmerken ons om het risico op ziekten te begrijpen?
De studie van erfelijke kenmerken speelt een cruciale rol in het begrijpen van het risico op verschillende ziekten, met name die welke het musculoskeletale systeem aantasten. Genetische factoren beïnvloeden belangrijke aspecten van bot- en spiergezondheid, zoals botmineraaldichtheid (BMD), botkwaliteit, spiermassa en kracht. Door erfelijke kenmerken te onderzoeken, kunnen onderzoekers mensen identificeren die genetisch vatbaar zijn […]
GEFOS
The GEFOS study is a project aimed at identifying genetic determinants of musculoskeletal and aging-related traits. It focuses on genetic risk factors for osteoporosis, novel bone phenotypes, and gene-environment interactions, and translating findings into clinical practice. Since 2008, GEFOS has made numerous genomic discoveries in bone and muscle phenotypes, including BMD, lean mass, and grip strength, through large-scale GWAS meta-analyses.
