Prof. Erik Ranschaert, PhD, a founder member of the AuntMinnieEurope editorial advisory board, completed the Amsterdam Marathon on 19 October, achieving a personal best time of 3 hours and 45 minutes.
“It was a lovely run,” said Ranschaert, who is past president of the European Society of Medical Imaging Informatics (EUSoMII). “Knowing the circuit from last year helped a lot, particularly on the mental side.”
