ScanNanoTreat aims to create a first-of-its-kind theranostic platform, a system that can simultaneously image and treat cancer.
The technology combines:
- Spectral Photon Counting CT (SPCCT) → next-generation high-resolution imaging
- X-ray-activated Photodynamic Therapy (X-PDT) → targeted tumour therapy triggered by innovative gadolinium-based nanoprobes
Together, these innovations aim to:
✅ Reduce radiation doses by 30% or more
✅ Cut treatment costs by up to 40%
✅ Dramatically shorten the diagnosis-to-treatment cycle
✅ Improve outcomes for patients with breast and pancreatic cancers
