Keywords
Radium-223 therapy
Brief summary
The aim of the study is to investigate whether positron emission tomography (PET) using the tracer 18F-Fluorothymidine (FLT) can provide information on proliferative activity in bone marrow of patients receiving Radium 223 therapy and potentially be a predictive marker of hematological toxicity
Interventions
FLT PET/CT before first series of Radium-223 and after 2 series
