CHICAGO — June 1, 2026 — As theranostics adoption accelerates[i] and radiopharmaceutical demand grows,[ii] healthcare systems are under increasing pressure to scale nuclear medicine operations while improving diagnostic confidence and workflow efficiency. At the 2026 Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) Annual Meeting, GE HealthCare showcases its latest technologies and AI-enabled workflows to help support precision care across care pathways.
Nuclear medicine is undergoing rapid expansion as healthcare systems increase adoption of theranostics, broaden radiopharmaceutical access and invest in precision diagnostics and targeted therapies. This momentum is also evident in global nuclear medicine market projections, which anticipate growth from approximately $7.8 billion in 2024 to more than $30.7 billion by 2034.[iii]
“Nuclear medicine is moving from early innovation to large-scale clinical implementation,” shares Jean-Luc Procaccini, President and CEO, Molecular Imaging and Computed Tomography (MICT), GE HealthCare. “Healthcare systems need technologies and workflows that help expand access, improve efficiency and support more confident clinical decision-making as theranostics adoption and precision care evolve.”

Turning convergence into clinical reality
Growing demand for precision diagnostics and targeted therapies is helping accelerate the evolution of nuclear medicine. Advances in radiopharmaceuticals and imaging technologies help clinicians diagnose disease, improve treatment planning and expand access to personalized care. As adoption increases, healthcare systems are also facing new operational challenges – including how to scale infrastructure, streamline workflows and expand patient access beyond traditional hospital settings.[iv]
Rising prevalence of chronic diseases is further driving demand for timely and advanced diagnoses and targeted treatment approaches. Fortunately, new care delivery models are already taking shape across care pathways. These models are increasingly enabled by advances in radiopharmaceuticals that expand access to PET imaging and support more scalable, routine clinical use across care settings.
Early examples of this shift are emerging to reach patients beyond traditional hospital environments:
Cardiology: GE HealthCare’s Flyrcado™ (flurpiridaz F 18 injection) is helping expand access to PET myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) through a ready-to-use, unit-dose model designed for routine clinical workflows. The company is also collaborating with channel partners to accelerate the adoption of cardiac PET MPI in community settings while mobile imaging models are extending access beyond traditional hospital environments, bringing precision PET imaging to sites that may not otherwise have access.
