Radiopharmaceuticals in Therapeutic Imaging
Therapeutic imaging involves the use of radiopharmaceuticals that not only diagnose diseases but also deliver targeted treatments directly to affected tissues. Radiopharmaceuticals, such as radioimmunotherapy agents, can be engineered to target cancer cells with remarkable specificity, delivering high doses of radiation directly to the tumor site. Researchers are studying the radiobiology of different radiopharmaceuticals to determine their efficacy and potential side effects. This session will focuses on the use of radiopharmaceuticals in radiation therapy, including targeted radionuclide therapy and internal radiotherapy.
