🎓Key Contributions 主要贡献

PRRT Clinical Development

Established one of the first comprehensive PRRT programs in the Asia-Pacific region, defining dosimetry protocols and patient selection criteria now used internationally for Lu-177 DOTATATE therapy.

Theranostics Framework

Articulated the theranostics paradigm—matching SSTR imaging for patient selection with targeted radionuclide therapy—transforming how nuclear medicine is integrated into NET oncology.
