Bart Ilsen is an External employee in Supporting clinical sciences and Physician in Radiology at Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel (UZB), affiliated with Vrije Universiteit Brussel. With 58 research outputs spanning from 2007 to 2025 and an h-index of 11, he maintains an active research profile alongside his clinical responsibilities.

Dr. Ilsen's research focuses primarily on thoracic radiology, with special emphasis on lung cancer imaging, thoracic CT applications, and the radiological aspects of immunotherapy. His expertise encompasses diagnostic imaging for post-obstructive pneumonia in lung cancer patients, neurogenic pulmonary edema, and the integration of radiation therapy with immunotherapeutic agents like pembrolizumab, avelumab, and ipilimumab.

His recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a strong focus on clinical applications of radiology in oncology, including phase II trials combining stereotactic body radiation therapy with immunotherapy agents and prognostic modeling using thoracic CT. This work appears in reputable journals such as BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making and Cancer Immunology Immunotherapy.

Dr. Ilsen actively participates in the radiology community through:

• MOVUB Lentesymposium (2024-2025)
• PRVU events on cardiac imaging, spinal vascular pathology, and radiation protection (2021)
• Various radiology-focused workshops and seminars

His collaborative approach is evident in his co-authorship on multidisciplinary studies involving oncologists, radiologists, and medical researchers working at the intersection of radiology and cancer treatment.
