This approach has the potential to provide real-time feedback during therapy and diagnose a condition while simultaneously providing treatment. One such form of theranostics is focused ultrasound, which has been found to be effective in inducing neuroablation and neuromodulation and improving the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs by disrupting the blood–brain barrier. Targeted radionuclide therapy, which pairs positron emission tomography tracers with therapeutic effects and imaging modalities, is another promising form of theranostics for neurosurgery. Automated pathology analysis is yet another form of theranostics that can provide real-time feedback during the surgical resection of tumors. Electrical stimulation has also shown promise in optimizing therapies for patients with cerebral palsy. Overall, theranostics is a cost-effective way to optimize medical care for patients in neurosurgery. It is a relatively new field, but the advancements made so far show great promise for improving patient outcomes.</p> Drashti Patel, Andrew Nguyen, Chance Fleeting, Anjali Patel, Mohammed Mumtaz, Brandon Lucke-Wold Copyright (c) 2023 Author(s) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://journals.accscience.com/index.php/itps/article/view/417 Thu, 03 Aug 2023 14:46:08 +0800
