We have many radionuclides that we use in the clinic.
0:04
I have put in bold the most commonly used F 18
0:08
copper and gallium.
0:11
And uh, we have others,
0:12
but these are the three most used in oncology.
0:17
These cleide can be labeled
0:19
to different particles and molecules.
0:23
And with that combination we will be able
0:26
to image the specific physiology we're interested in.
0:31
For example, in the first case, we have fluro deoxy glucose,
0:35
or commonly known as FDG.
0:38
And this tracer will allow us
0:40
to study the glucose consumption in the body,
0:43
both physiologically in, in areas of of disease.
0:47
Then we have dotatate or DOTA compounds.
0:51
It's a somatostatin receptor analog that would allow us
0:54
to see neuroendocrine tumors
0:58
as they express these receptors on their surface.
1:02
Then we have others that are used more in prostate cancer,
1:06
lovine, or commonly known as axin.
1:10
And the new PSMA, which is a transmembrane glycoprotein
1:14
that is expressed in the prostate cancer cells.
1:19
Flora is an example of a labeled estradiol,
1:24
um, that allows us to see disease that expresses estrogen,
1:28
which happens in breast cancer.
1:32
And then we have fpi, which has not made it to the US yet
1:35
and is in research phase.
1:38
FPI stands for fibroblast activation protein inhibitor.
1:42
These will allow us to see the stromal component
1:46
of malignancies or inflammation.
1:49
It can be used in many settings.
