Therefore, vision-language models have been proposed, but there is little evidence on their performance, particularly compared with conventional machine learning. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy is a well-established treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), but it is still not known which patients will be good long-term responders. Therefore, this study proposes a physician-inspired visual question answering (VQA) framework that emulates the structured integration of PSMA-directed imaging and clinical data used in routine clinical assessment for overall survival prognostication. <b>Methods:</b> As a proof of concept, we conducted a retrospective, multicenter study across 2 academic institutions that included 110 patients with mCRPC who were treated with either [<sup>177</sup>Lu]Lu-PSMA I&T or [<sup>177</sup>Lu]Lu-PSMA-617. Our VQA approach incorporates a 3-dimensional image encoder, the domain-specific language model RadBERT, and a cross-modal transformer to process baseline and interim (after 2 cycles) PET and SPECT images, clinical data, and clinical query. The model was trained to predict 24-mo survival, and performance was compared with state-of-the-art approaches. External validation was performed with the [<sup>177</sup>Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 cohort. <b>Results:</b> The VQA model outperformed all state-of-the-art approaches while showing accuracy comparable to the query-free attention multimodal fusion model. Specifically, it achieved 81.8% accuracy (95% CI, 0.52-0.95) when integrating SPECT or PET images with prostate-specific antigen measurements. External validation of the VQA showed 71.9% accuracy (95% CI, 0.53-0.86) after few-shot fine-tuning, with further improvement over all state-of-the-art approaches in survival stratification. The VQA approach showed the closest calibration with the ground-truth survival distribution, with no significant differences observed (log-rank test, <i>P</i> = 0.76). Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed the highest area under the curve (0.75) among the evaluated models. Together, these findings suggest that the VQA approach demonstrated adaptability across different PSMA ligands while maintaining slightly improved yet comparable overall survival prognostic performance. <b>Conclusion:</b> By adopting a physician-inspired assessment workflow, the VQA framework shows advantages in integrating imaging and laboratory data for clinical decision support compared with conventional machine learning. The preliminary results indicate that VQA-based approaches warrant future evaluation for survival prognostication in patients with mCRPC who are receiving PSMA radiopharmaceutical therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":94099,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149198619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, PET temporal resolution remains constrained by sensitivity, limiting studies of fast, dynamic neurochemical processes. To address this gap, we are developing the Human Dynamic NeuroChemical Connectome, an imaging system integrating NeuroSphere PET, a novel ultra-high-sensitivity dedicated brain PET camera, with the Siemens Healthineers Magnetom Terra.X, a clinical 7-T MRI scanner. This article describes the design, engineering, and simulation-based performance estimation of NeuroSphere PET. Sensitivity maximization drove 2 core design choices: a partial spheric detector arrangement with a 32-cm inner diameter and 70% solid-angle coverage and the use of 26-mm lutetium oxyorthosilicate crystals for high stopping power (∼90% at 511 keV), coupled to silicon photomultipliers in a light-sharing, depth-of-interaction-capable configuration. The system comprises 872 detector blocks organized across 19 rings and 218 modules. At the detector level, measured performance includes energy resolution of approximately 11% full width at half maximum (FWHM), depth-of-interaction resolution of approximately 8 mm FWHM, and coincidence timing resolution of approximately 500 ps FWHM. System-level performance was evaluated using the ultrafast Monte Carlo PET simulator, accounting for realistic detector response, positron range, photon noncollinearity, and interdetector scatter. Sensitivity was estimated from a 30-cm uniform sphere, predicting a peak sensitivity of about 38% and a whole-brain average exceeding 25%. Spatial resolution and image quality were assessed through Derenzo phantom simulations evaluated at both the center of the field of view and 8 cm off-center, indicating that 1.6-mm structures can be resolved near the center of the field of view and that resolution of less than 2 mm can be maintained at the cortex. The system incorporates a 3-dimensional-printed MRI-compatible gantry, a dedicated 16-channel parallel transmit-receive radiofrequency head coil, and a custom radiofrequency shielding enclosure for simultaneous PET/MRI at 7 T. By targeting sensitivity an order of magnitude higher than that of commercial PET systems, NeuroSphere PET is expected to enable simultaneous neurochemical and hemodynamic studies with substantially improved spatiotemporal resolution, providing new insights into brain function and connectivity.</p>","PeriodicalId":94099,"journal":{"name":"Journal of nuclear medicine : official publication, Society of Nuclear Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149198579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
