Prospects in folate receptor-targeted radionuclide therapy
Frontiers in Oncology, 2013 Targeted radionuclide therapy is based on systemic application of particle-emitting radiopharmaceuticals which are directed towards a specific tumor-associated target. Accumulation of the radiopharmaceutical in targeted cancer cells results in high doses

Automated Definition of Skeletal Disease Burden in Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma: a 3D analysis of SPECT/CT images [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 To meet the current need for skeletal tumor-load estimation in prostate cancer (mCRPC), we developed a novel approach, based on adaptive bone segmentation. In this study, we compared the program output with existing estimates and with the radiological outcome. Seventy-six whole-body 99mTc-DPD-SPECT/CT from mCRPC patients were analyzed.

Exploration, EarlyView.Considering the rapid progression of cancer in most cases, any delay in evaluating therapy outcomes poses a significant threat to patients’ lives. Consequently, it is imperative to implement stratification and conduct timely evaluations of therapeutic effects either before or during the early stages of cancer treatment.

Development of a high-resolution and high efficiency Single Photon detector for studying cardiovascular diseases in mice [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 SPECT systems using pinhole apertures permit radiolabeled molecular distributions to be imaged in vivo in small animals. Nevertheless studying cardiovascular diseases by means of small animal models is very challenging. Specifically, submillimeter spatial resolution, good energy resolution and high sensitivity are required. We designed what we consider
