Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiopharmaceutical Therapy

Background:

  • Lutetium-177 (177Lu)-based radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) shows promise for neuroendocrine and prostate cancers.
  • Accurate radiation dose delivery to tumors while sparing organs-at-risk (OAR) is crucial due to patient variability.
  • Current methods lack the temporal resolution to capture dynamic activity distribution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a high temporal-resolution activity reconstruction method for preclinical cancer models.
  • To enable real-time monitoring of 177Lu activity in tumors and OAR.
  • To improve the quality and safety of 177Lu-based RPT.

Main Methods:

  • A low-cost, sparse sensor network was developed using a priori tumor location data.
  • The system was validated using a custom phantom and four mouse models bearing prostate cancer xenografts.
  • 177Lu activity was measured at multiple time points post-injection (10 min to 48 h).

Main Results:

  • The system achieved high linearity (R2 > 0.99) in reconstructing tumor and OAR activity compared to small-animal SPECT.
  • Acquisition and reconstruction occurred at 1-minute resolution, over 30 times faster than conventional SPECT.
  • This enabled capture of fast kinetics and near-continuous time-activity curves at reduced cost.

Conclusions:

  • The developed system provides high temporal resolution for preclinical activity reconstruction.
  • This technology can be adapted for clinical use to enhance 177Lu-RPT.
  • Frequent activity measurements will improve treatment efficacy and patient safety.
