Radio Pharmaceuticals Market In-depth analysis 2019 | NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes LLC, Curium Pharma, Life Molecular Imaging, Lantheus Holdings, Inc., Cardinal Health, Inc., General Electric Company, Bracco S.p.A., Bayer AG, Advanced Accelerator Appli

Radiopharmaceuticals present in the market for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Technetium -99m has vast number of applications in diagnostic imaging using radiopharmaceuticals. Areas where radiopharmaceuticals have applications include oncology, neurology, hematology, cardiology, thyroid applications, and others. Moreover, certain radiopharmaceuticals have diagnostic as well as therapeutic applications such as certain iodine isotopes.

Oncology applications include cancer diagnosis and treatment effectiveness determination (using radiolabeled therapeutics). Moreover, basic cancer physiology detection is also possible with the help of radiopharmaceuticals. For instance, Fluorine-18 fludeoxyglucose is indicated for assessing abnormal glucose metabolism in tumors. Neurology applications include evaluation of Alzheimer's disease and epileptic seizures.

Radiopharmaceuticals such as Vizamyl (GE Healthcare), Amyvid (Eily, Lilly, and Company), and Neuraceq (Life Molecular Imaging) are indicated to estimate β amyloid neuritic plaque density in adult patients with cognitive impairment, who are being evaluated for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or other causes of cognitive decline. Hematology applications include determination of total blood volume, plasma volume, cardiac output, glomerular filtration, and other tests. Products used in hematology include Jeanatope, Megatope, and Glofil-125 manufactured by IsoTex Diagnostics. Cardiology applications mainly include myocardial perfusion imaging for distinguishing normal from abnormal myocardium in patients with suspected myocardial infarction and other applications.

The global radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine market size was valued at US$ 4,986.4 million in 2017 and is expected to witness a robust CAGR of 8.9% over the forecast period (2018–2026).

Technological advancements in imaging have brought many changes such as the introduction of hybrid technology — positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT). Combination of the anatomic details provided, for instance, by CT, with the important and much needed functional, physiologic or metabolic information provided by molecular imaging has been facilitated with the use of hybrid imaging.

More accurate diagnosis is possible with the help of hybrid imaging with increased specificity, attenuation correction, and localization. Moreover, usage of PET/CT has been established in clinical practice and has added significant value in the areas of neurology, cardiology, and oncology. Moreover, SPECT/CT has also been established and has been used in areas such as cardiology, liver/spleen imaging, thyroid imaging, cancer diagnosis, and others.

Hybrid imaging (PET/CT) along with radiopharmaceuticals such as 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), the most frequently used molecule in the PET diagnosis, 18F-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT), 18F-fluorocholine (18F-FCH), 18F-fluoro-ethyltyrosine (18F-FET), 18F-fluorodihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-FDOPA), 11C-methionine (11C-MET) or 18F-fluoromisonidazole (18F-FMISO), 68Ga-DOTA derivatives, 68Ga-PSMA, 18F-florbetaben or 18F-flutemetamol for brain amyloid beta imaging has been widely used (according to European Journal of Radiology, 2017). These factors drive growth of the market and further developments in PET cameras and other technologies is expected to boost growth of the market over the forecast period.

However, factors such as high costs of development of radiopharmaceuticals relative to return on investment, supply shortage of radiopharmaceuticals, and short half-life of radiopharmaceuticals is expected to restrain growth of the radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine market over the forecast period.
