We can’t treat what we don’t see, which is why we require precise image quality to help diagnose, plan treatment for, and monitor disease,” explains Prof. Medical imaging is a crucial tool for diagnosing disease, identifying a course of treatment, and determining whether therapy is successful for millions of patients around the world.

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. This theranostic therapy first demonstrated how using diagnostic imaging with a radioactive probe, gallium-68 (Ga-68 dotatate injection), could locate NETs on PET scans.

It is labeled with the radioisotope fluorine-18 (18F) to enable PET imaging of the prostate and other areas of the body where prostate cancer may have spread. Results demonstrated high detection rates (% positive PET scans) even at low PSA levels. The adverse reactions reported in ≥0.4% POSLUMA was approved by the U.S.

To analyse the CT scan data, the researchers used a technique called radiomics, which can extract information about the patient’s disease from medical images that can’t be easily seen by the human eye. Keith Hewett, 64 from Watford, was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2018 and treated with surgery at his local hospital.

For example, results showed that among the subgroup (n=76) of patients in the Evaluable PET Scan Population who had undergone primary treatment with radiation therapy for prostate cancer, the overall patient-level DR was 99% (75/76) and consistently high across the three independent readers (range 93-99%).
