10:00Panel discussion: How do we translate methodological advances into clinical practice?
This session explores how molecular imaging and theranostic strategies redefine diagnosis and treatment across brain disorders, from neuropsychiatric conditions to oncologic care. Experts will present advances in mapping brain connectivity disruptions, targeted radioligand therapies for brain tumours, and PET-guided disease-modifying therapies in neurodegenerative disorders. Attendees will gain insights into translating these applications into clinical practice to improve patient outcomes.
