Dr Henderson has a keen interest in the rapidly expanding field of PET and was involved in the introduction of the first private PET-CT service in Western Australia.

He provides radiosynovectomy services at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and in private.

“I believe that Molecular Imaging and Targeted Therapy will be one of the largest changes in medical practice this century. Current molecular imaging and therapeutic options are only the beginning of a landslide of new options for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. With such rapidly emerging changes, an integrated approach to each patient’s structural and molecular imaging, and therapy is crucial.”
