Enriched Gd-160 Target Materials: Pioneering Dual-Purpose Cancer Imaging and Treatment

Industry News2025-12-28

Enriched Gd-160 Target Materials: Pioneering Dual-Purpose Cancer Imaging and Treatment BY Tao, Published Dec 28, 2025 Enriched Gadolinium‑160 (Gd‑160) is not administered to patients—it is a stable “target material” placed in a reactor to manufacture Terbium‑161 (Tb‑161), one of the most compelling next-generation radionuclides for precision cancer theranostics (therapy + imaging in one platform). The strategic value of enriched Gd‑160…
