Theranostics

If you’re setting up a new Theranostics department or center, Sirona Complete Care has your needs covered. Theranostics is the fastest-growing specialty in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging and is quickly revolutionizing this category of medical practice.

Theranostics — a combination of the terms therapeutics and diagnostics — is the practice of using one radioactive drug to diagnose a medical condition and a second radioactive drug to treat the ailment.

Sirona Complete Care is on top of the latest innovations being made in this growing specialization. The expansion of this specialty comes on the heels of new compliance, USP 825, which provides standards for the preparation, compounding, dispensing, and repackaging of radiopharmaceuticals. The compliance standard includes all sterile radioactive material that must maintain sterility through manipulations prior to administration.
