The 43Sc (T1/2 = 3.89 h) and 44Sc (T1/2 = 3.92 h) are an ideal β+ emitter in PET diagnosis. Both radionuclides can be used as an alternative to 68Ga, because 43/44Sc has a longer half-life and forms theranostic pair with β- emitter 47Sc, which is important in planning radionuclide therapy. However in comparison with 44Sc, 43Sc has half-life and beta plus radiation similar to 44Sc, moreover,...
Among the new materials exhibiting theranostic potential are undoubtedly magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) [1]. Due to their size, they can interact at the cellular and molecular level of biological systems. In turn, their unique magnetic properties mean that they can be used as contrast agents in MRI and as carriers for targeted drug transport, allowing for simultaneous monitoring of...
Particle therapies with protons, helium or carbon ions are emerging treatments enabling precise targeting of pathological cancer tissues due to inverted depth-dose distribution (Bragg peak) offering improved dose conformity with respect to conventional radiotherapy by X-rays. In addition to their dosimetric advantages, protons and heavier ions penetrating patient tissue undergo scattering and...
Recent advances in the large axial field of view (LAFOV) PET revolutionize PET imaging to meet several clinical demands. This talk will characterize the performance of a LAFOV PET (Siemens Biograph Vision Quadra) installed in Bern. On the other side, the increased complexity makes the exploration of the potential of the new instrument more challenging. This talk will share some developments...

The uEXPLORER total-body PET system provides a very high level of detection sensitivity and simultaneous coverage of the entire body for dynamic imaging. This brings several potential benefits for tracer kinetic modeling and parametric imaging, including more reliable estimation of tracer kinetics for...
