Multimodality imaging using SPECT, CT and MRI

 

Principal Investigator for Radiology:   Monique R Bernsen, PhD

Within the department of Nuclear Medicine, radiolabeled receptor binding peptides have been developed as an important class of radiopharmaceuticals for tumor diagnosis and therapy. Further improvements of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) depend on the optimization of radiation doses to tumor versus normal organs. Preclinical high-resolution SPECT and autoradiography studies have indicated that peptide distribution in the tumor is often heterogeneous. By combining microSPECT/CT with MRI we aim at elucidating the influence of tumor (micro-environmental) characteristics on tumor uptake and distribution of radiolabeled peptides and on treatment effects after peptide receptor radionuclide therapy.
