Abstract

Radiopharmaceutical therapy using α-particle emitting radionuclides (αRPT) is a novel treatment modality that delivers highly potent alpha-particles to cancer cells or their environment. We review the advantages and challenges of imaging and dosimetry in implementing αRPT for cancer patients.
