Theranostics: A Unique Concept to Nuclear Medicine

Lucio Mango*

Published: 22 February, 2017 | Volume 1 - Issue 1 | Pages: 001-004

Nuclear Medicine is an integral part of modern healthcare. The use of radioactive nuclides tagged biomolecules, evaluating their distribution in human bodies by SPECT or PET systems, provides longitudinal sets of volumetric and quantitative images that can be used to diagnose a wide range of disease and/or assess response to disease specific treatments [1].
