Improved theranostic SPECT reconstruction for radionuclide therapy dosimetry

This work was to develop a reconstruction method for theranostic dosimetry by improving the spatial resolution and noise properties of reconstructed SPECT images (SPECTRE). Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is commonly used to evaluate the radiation dose delivered to target structures and normal organs in radionuclide therapy (RNT). But Read more…

Long Axial Field of View Positron Emission Tomography

Researchers and patients alike are benefiting from a new imaging technology called ‘Long Axial Field of View (FOV) Positron Emission Tomography’, also known as ‘Total-Body PET (TB-PET)’. This technology advance enables molecular imaging studies to be performed at ultrahigh sensitivity, i.e. an order of magnitude or more higher sensitivity than Read more…

Attention: 2022 PhD Award applicants

Dear members, Re: Eligible periods for PhD Awards It has just become apparent that the eligible dates shown on the betterhealthcaretechnology.org website from 2021 to now were not updated from previous years. That has meant any candidates who received their PhD award between July 2020 to December 2020 were ineligible Read more…

Immunotherapy and Radiotherapy for Cancer

More than half of all cancer patients receive radiotherapy as part of their treatment and, for patients  receiving radiotherapy alone, the average cure rate is 40%. Cancer cells are killed by X-ray ionisation of the DNA and other associated biological effects. But, under certain circumstances, the radiation exposure can also Read more…
