A decade ago, only a few radiopharmaceutical agents were used to help treat cancer patients. 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.

Di Carli noted that currently, SPECT MPI – also a nuclear medicine imaging exam, but one that requires higher radiation doses to patients and produces less resolution – remains the workhorse in the field. The game-changer could be the pending U.S. approval of new PET radiotracers, such as F-18 flurpiridaz , he said.
