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.

Participants underwent both F-18 PSMA-1007 PET/CT and multiparametric MRI within 14 days of one another and at least five days before surgery at two hospitals in Alberta, Canada. Out of 150 men who participated, 134 ultimately underwent radical prostatectomies (the mean age was 62 years old). The full study is available here.
