Molecular Imaging

Whether your prospective compound or novel radiotracer is in the early or late stage of trial development, RadPharm’s Molecular Imaging services can be leveraged to successfully gather, analyze and deliver crucial functional imaging data.

For early phase trials, we work with you to provide high-quality imaging efficacy data that empowers you to expedite critical go/no go decisions. Your team will be able to identify ineffective compounds earlier, saving valuable time and resources while allowing only your most promising compounds to advance in your drug development portfolio.

For late phase trials we provide functional imaging data which can be used as an exploratory endpoint or be integrated with the anatomic imaging data. This can be utilized for internal decision making and/or prepared for agency submission.

At RadPharm, we understand that functional imaging data acquisition and analysis requires attention to detail to ensure robust, accurate data sets. To that end, our certified imaging technologists and medical physicists work with qualified imaging facilities prior to and throughout the duration of the study.

Innovation

Utilizing advanced, validated image analysis technology, RadPharm’s in-house board-certified radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians evaluate imaging data, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Image analysis is performed from traditional modalities including Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), as well as Nuclear Medicine – Gamma camera imaging and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and hybrid imaging such as Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/CT (SPECT/CT) and PET/CT.
