Theranostics & Molecular Therapies

Theranostics combines molecular imaging and targeted treatment. Imaging helps identify whether cancer cells have a particular target.  If the cells do, a targeted radiopharmaceutical* can be used to deliver radiation directly to those cells.

Radiopharmaceuticals* are specially designed medicines that carry small doses of radioactive material to specific targets in the body. In theranostics, they can be used to help find cancer cells through imaging, or to deliver targeted radiation to treat them.

Canopy Imaging provides theranostic services at our Molecular Imaging & Therapy Centre in Hastings and from January 2027, at our Carlton Gore Road clinic also.
