Игнасио Эрнандес Гонсалес - Applications of radiotheranostics

Nuclear medicine can be considered a very young science since it is less than a century old. Nowadays it is a very important and powerful, constantly evolving discipline in the areas of medical diagnosis and therapy, as well as biomedical research. Radiotheranostics is an emerging field within nuclear medicine with a great potential because it allows us to explore a priori the possible outcome of radiotherapeutic procedures or other therapeutic approaches. The present seminar will cover the most relevant aspects of radiotheranostics starting from basic concepts, radionuclide pairs used, examples of clinical and non-clinical applications, challenges and new trends.
