Radiotheranostics
Radiotheranostics, or radiotherapy, is a subspecialty of theranostics
that uses similar pharmaceuticals for both imaging and radiation
therapy. In both therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals and diagnostic
radiopharmaceuticals, the radionuclide is interchangeable, with the
diagnostic radiopharmaceutical often being a gamma or PET emitter, and
the therapeutic radiopharmaceutical often being a beta or alpha
emitter[21].
