Area of Expertise

Targeted Radionuclide Therapy

Patients with thyroid, prostate, neuroendocrine, and neural crest tumours are managed with high-dose radionuclide therapies including targeted alpha therapy and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy:

• High-dose radionuclide therapy for thyroid cancer
• Lu-177 PSMA therapy for metastatic prostate cancer
• Lu-177 DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) for neuroendocrine tumours

Molecular Imaging and PET-CT

Patients requiring advanced diagnostic imaging for cancer staging, treatment response, and disease monitoring are evaluated using PET-CT and Gamma Camera imaging:

• PET-CT scan interpretation including FDG and non-FDG tracers
• Ga-68 DOTATATE and Ga-68 PSMA PET-CT imaging
• Gamma camera scans and nuclear oncology imaging

Theranostics

Patients with advanced cancers are managed with an integrated theranostic approach that combines diagnostic molecular imaging with precision-targeted radionuclide treatment:

• Theranostics for prostate cancer using PSMA-based imaging and therapy
• Theranostics for neuroendocrine tumours using somatostatin receptor imaging and PRRT
• Dual-tracer PET-CT for treatment planning and response assessment

Nuclear Cardiology

Patients with coronary artery disease and cardiac conditions requiring functional imaging are evaluated using nuclear cardiology procedures:

• Nuclear cardiology imaging and stress testing
• Myocardial perfusion imaging
• Pharmacological stress testing

Radiosynovectomy and Other Targeted Therapies

Patients with joint disease and other conditions requiring targeted minimally invasive radionuclide procedures are assessed and treated:

• Radiosynovectomy for joint disease
• Targeted radionuclide therapies for complex and rare tumours
• Nuclear endocrinology procedures
