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.

Even if some private urology, radiation oncology practices, or radiologist groups are building the ability to perform theranostics, experts are cautious about patient management, radiation safety, and the risk of unnecessary imaging. However, few freestanding theranostics centers exist today. Morris continued in the JNM.

Imagine going in for a diagnostic MRI scan and coming out with a progressive, irreversible, and potentially fatal disease. It certainly doesn't help matters that the disease has been linked to gadolinium-based contrast agents, a ubiquitous tool in the MR armamentarium. In 2006 the U.S. report of NSF in 33 dialysis patients at a St.

Background: The increased utility and accessibility of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has allowed clinicians the freedom to rethink their diagnostic approach for many common diseases, including peritonsillar abscess (PTA). The neck and thyroid are particularly vulnerable to radiation (Tipnis et al.).
