Carrier-free lutetium-177 has, up to now, been practically a monopoly of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Neutron Source, at Garching near Munich. In fact, I sat through a presentation on it when I visited there last year. Returning to the USA from that trip, I met an American in the airport who was returning from being treated with ¹⁷⁷Lu at the hospital at Garching!

QU’EST CE QU’UNE SCINTIGRAPHIE À L’OCTREOSCAN ?
_
Cet examen est réalisé pour diagnostiquer certaines tumeurs neuro-endocrines bien différenciées et de préciser leur extension.
Elles sont situées le plus souvent au niveau du tube digestif ou du pancréas et sécrètent des hormones spécifiques.
___________________________________________________
Comment prendre OCTREOSCAN :
_
Posologie
Adulte et population âgée
Pour la tomoscintigraphie monophotonique (TEMP), l'activité à injecter dépend de l'équipement dont on dispose. En général pour un adulte de 70 kg, une activité de 110 à 220 MBq administrée en une seule injection intraveineuse est suffisante. D'autres activités peuvent être injectées si justifié.

Global Nuclear Medicine Therapeutics Market: Pioneering Healthcare Solutions
A pharmaceutical composition including radioactive elements is known as therapeutic nuclear medicine. In comparison to X-rays and other external radiation imaging technologies, therapeutic nuclear medicines are widely employed as an effective and safer alternative for cancer patients. 
Market Size & Growth Rate:                                                                                                            
The nuclear medicine therapeutics market was valued at USD 1 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 1.8 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period 2022-2027. The growth could be attributed to the return of demand to pre-pandemic levels, increasing authorization of novel & innovative medicines, extensive research, disease prevalence, and immunotherapies. 
Market Dynamics:                                                                                                                              
According to the oncidium foundation, nuclear-therapy accounted for 20% of the global nuclear medicine market in 2019 and is expected to reach 70% by 2030. Nuclear therapeutic is majorly used for the treatment & diagnosis of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and cancers. According to WHO-2021, an estimated 17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2019, representing 32% of all global deaths. The prevalence of these markets has promoted several market players and stakeholders to focus on expanding the overall application of radio-therapeutics. With the expanding application segments of nucleo-emitters, their demand and anticipated rising during the forecast period. It indicates to market players for growth of the nuclear medicine therapeutics market. In addition, various R&D activities in the business space are expected to stimulate the demand for therapeutic nuclear medicine through 2029. For instance,

"Uranian" should only used for nuclear medicine! If every country on Earth has nuclear power stations, The World would run out of uranium in about 30 years or so THEN WHAT??? A future's thought! Is Science clever enough to create "artificial uranium" ... Misha

Since the discovery of the means to artificially synthesize radioisotopes (early 1930s), they were almost immediately adopted for healthcare applications, by the mid-1940s. Presently, a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques are based on the use of such substances, commonly referred to as radiopharmaceuticals. Despite their inherent toxicity, nuclear medicine is considered an important part of modern healthcare, with applications spanning across a number of therapeutic areas, including infectious diseases, immunological disorders, gastroenteric disease, cardiological disorders, oncological disorders, neurological disorders, and even certain psychiatric conditions. According to an article published by World Nuclear Association in May 2020, more than 10,000 hospitals worldwide claim to be using radioisotopes for various medical procedures; interestingly, of the aforementioned applications, 90% were reported to be related to disease diagnosis Typically, diagnostic tests, involving radiopharmaceuticals, are performed using highly specialized imaging solutions, such as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET). It is worth highlighting that around 40 million diagnostic procedures, involving the use of the radioisotope Tc-99m alone, are conducted worldwide annually. Further, the introduction of the concept of theranostics, which involves the use of a single active ingredient for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, has opened up a new dimension of applications for nuclear medicine.

Nuclear Medicine and PET CT Scan
Omega Bannu Hospital is the one of the best Nuclear Medicine and PET CT Scan Center in Warangal, Karimnagar, Khammam. Book PET CT scan at the low price in Warangal NUCLEAR MEDICINE TECHNOLOGYIn the department of Nuclear Medicine at Omega Bannu Hospital, the team of specialists diagnose and treat cancer by administering radioactive substances. The doctors use several radionuclides, which are administered intravenously, orally, or inhaled. Radionuclides are derivatives of radioactive elements such as gallium, technetium, xenon, thallium, and iodine. While blood tests are conducted, medications are modified, and therapy is prepared, it might take up to a month before you can start therapy. We offer outpatient treatment which continues on-site for up to eight hours each time. The treatments prescribed by our team take into account many factors and are adjusted over time based on individual circumstances. As part of the infusion treatments, one might be asked to have a SPECT scan, which measures how much nuclear medicine therapy is stuck to the cancer cells and how quickly it is leaving the body. Our oncologists make therapy decisions based on this information so that they can cure cancer while avoiding side effects. We encourage our patients to follow up with us post-therapy, including more blood tests and scans that may be necessary.Treatments in Nuclear Medicine:Radioimmunotherapy: Our doctors recommend Radioimmunotherapy if one has Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that doesn’t respond to chemotherapy. Also known as RIT, this treatment combines radiation therapy with immunotherapy Radioactive Iodine Therapy: Our doctors recommend Radioactive Iodine Therapy if one’s thyroid gland absorbs almost all the iodine taken in. Radioactive iodine therapy prevents other parts of your body from being damaged without damaging your cells. In some cases, it destroys other cancer cells of the body where thyroid cancer has spread.Brachytherapy: In most cases, brachytherapy is recommended by our doctors as it is more targeted, causes fewer side effects, and is shorter than conventional radiation therapy. Y 90 Radioembolization: This treatment is typically used to treat hepatocellular carcinomas and liver cancers.
