Additional Results of POSLUMA (Flotufolastat F 18) Performance in Newly Diagnosed, High-risk Prostate Cancer Patients Presented at ASTRO

Imaging Technology

Specifically, this sub-group examined the performance of flotufolastat F 18 PET in newly diagnosed, high-risk prostate cancer patients who had negative results with conventional imaging. Such information can help guide treatment selection and potentially avoid futile surgery for patients with high-risk disease.” “We

The rise of theranostics: Part 1 -- Gaining momentum

AuntMinnie

Theranostics pairs diagnostic biomarkers that can be visualized on nuclear medicine imaging with therapeutic agents that share a specific target in diseased cells or tissues. After binding to the receptor, the drug works by entering the cell allowing radiation to cause damage to the tumor cells.

UMC Utrecht Starts New Image-guided Cancer Research with MR-Linac and Ultrasound

Imaging Technology

The MR-Linac was invented by UMC Utrecht and has been used in daily clinical practice since 2018. It uses MRI images to adapt the radiation field to the precise location of the tumor and the surrounding healthy tissue and organs. And the machine makes it safer to administer a higher daily or total dose of radiation.
