Nuclear medicine is a form of specialty medicine that uses radioactive tracers to evaluate bodily functions and to diagnose and treat a wide range of health conditions. Nuclear scans produce images of the body’s anatomy that cannot be obtained as clearly or fully with other imaging techniques.

SPECT/CT imaging can help manage patients undergoing radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) with Pluvicto for advanced prostate cancer, according to a study published August 8 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Yet whether SPECT/CT can be used to determine disease progression or response has yet to be delineated, they noted.

Moreover, the approach could help detect disease that other effective prostate cancer PET radiotracers may miss, said Heying Duan, MD, a nuclear medicine research scientist at Stanford University, during a November 26 scientific session. You've hear a lot about PSMA. approved Ga-68 PSMA-PET and experimental Ga-68 RM2.

There are several types of imaging tests that physicians use to detect cancer in patients: X-Ray, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound (US), Nuclear Medicine, and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Staging and Restaging If cancer is found, it is important to determine how much the cancer has spread.

Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) methyl diphosphonate (MDP) bone scans are a potentially viable noninvasive option for diagnosing calciphylaxis, according to a team at the University of Massachusetts in Worcester, MA. The team assessed the potential diagnostic utility of bone scans in calciphylaxis based on a review of the literature.

Several presenters at the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging's (SNMMI) 2024 meeting in Toronto shared new findings in women's studies. In addition, the mean tissue dose did not reach the maximum tolerated dose for kidney, bone marrow, or liver. Women's theranostics appears to already be on the horizon.
