## Description
MDC's current imaging capabilities are limited to PET and CT, which restricts us to PET based tracers. While PET imaging is a powerful tool, it cannot accommodate a growing range of radioisotopes that are increasingly relevant in theranostic applications.
These include lead 203, lead 212, lutetium 177, and actinium 225, which are essential for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. This limitation has become more pronounced as clinical and research interest in SPECT and CT imaging continues to grow.
SPECT imaging enables biodistribution studies for isotopes that PET cannot support. This opens up new possibilities for molecular imaging and expands our ability to respond to evolving scientific and clinical needs. We have a clear opportunity to address this gap by introducing SPECT and CT capability through the phased procurement of the SPECT Cube module, followed by an upgrade to the advanced SPECT Cube 2.0 platform. This will allow MDC to meet rising diagnostic demand, align with industry standards, and maintain clinical competitiveness.
The system supports high-energy collimators and emerging radionuclides such as 212-Pb and 203-Pb, which are critical for MDC's research pipeline and are the only system compatible with existing MDC Molecubes equipment which enables an integrated system allowing simultaneous imaging of SPECT PET and CT imaging in one work flow.
