This translates to a better therapeutic efficacyminimizing systemic toxicity and more accurate patient monitoring.
In this sense, the president of the Oulton Institutionhe Dr. Carlos Oulton He explained in an interview with Canal C what this technological innovation in medicine means and how it is applied in this diagnostic imaging center. “Today, through a microreactor, radiopharmaceuticals are produced that help the diagnosis”he explains as he develops how this type of approach began.

Within the framework of the First Latin American Conference that is being held Wednesday 17 April in the city of Córdoba on “New insights in molecular imaging technology and applications“Oulton points out that this is an alternative therapeutic option to what already exists, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, monoclonal antibodies. “From Córdoba we have the opportunity to develop this business that has a great impact, this is the first time that a conference on theragnosis has been held from inside the country”he notes.
