DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Zdenka Kuncic\; University of Sydney\, Australia ()\
 nIn radiation oncology and nuclear medicine\, the efficacy of theranostic 
 strategies (i.e. combining treatment with diagnostic imaging) may be drama
 tically improved by leveraging the unique properties of nanoparticles. Due
  to their nanoscale size\, nanoparticles can penetrate target tissues and 
 tumour cells\, and enhance physico-chemical reaction rates. In this talk\,
  I will discuss the opportunities presented by superparamagnetic nanoparti
 cles\, which\, when labelled with suitable radioisotopes\, offer a means f
 or realising PET-MRI theranostics. I will present results on a novel chela
 te-free technique for radio-labelling superparamagnetic nanoparticles with
  clinically relevant isotopes and discuss how such nanoparticles can impro
 ve the overall image quality of PET-MRI. I will also discuss how radio-lab
 elling superparamagnetic nanoparticles with therapeutic isotopes presents 
 an opportunity for enhancing internal targeted radiotherapy by leveraging 
 MRI guidance and nanoparticle radio-enhancement effects.\n\nhttps://indico
