Fig. 1

Schematic illustration of NIS and its role in gene therapy. NIS is a powerful theranostic tool for diagnostic imaging and the application of therapeutic radionuclides. The transport of various radiotracers allows non-invasive monitoring of the in vivo biodistribution of functional NIS expression by whole body scintigraphy, SPECT or PET imaging and the application of therapeutically active radionuclides enables cytoreductive effects
