Thank you, Mark, and good morning to everyone. This was another terrific quarter for Lantheus. We reported revenue of $319.9 million, up 33.7% year over year, and progressed our internal R&D and our business development efforts to expand our pipeline. I am proud to report we have impacted the lives of more than 4.7 million patients year to date. We believe our market-leading position in PSMA imaging and our advancing pipeline, combined with our unique capabilities, will continue to support our position as the leading radiopharmaceutical-focused company. Polarify is the clear market leader in PSMA PET imaging. Growth during the quarter was driven by brand preference for Polarify due to its clinical and commercial value proposition. We believe Polarify offers the best combination with our proprietary PSMA-targeted ligand and the F18 isotope. Turning to the total market opportunity, we estimate the current addressable market for the PSMA PET imaging agents to be 1.6 billion and believe this market potential will grow to more than 3 billion by 2028. As such, we remain encouraged by the current and future growth potential of Polarify. PNT2002, our investigational PSMA-targeted radiotherapeutic asset represents another significant opportunity for growth within our prostate cancer franchise. PNT2002 is designed to treat patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer, or MCRPC, who have progressed following treatment with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor, or ARPI. We are excited about the progress we have made with our partner, Point Biopharma, and look forward to the top-line data from the phase three splash trial in fourth quarter 2023. As we consider the radiopharmaceutical landscape, We view the proposed acquisition of POINT by Eli Lilly as further validation of the opportunity we see for PNT2002 and PNT2003 and the increasing role of radiopharmaceuticals in life sciences. In addition to prostate cancer, we have a number of exciting assets, including PNT2003, our late-stage radiotherapeutic product candidate for neuroendocrine tumors. Another asset is MK6240. our investigational tau imaging agent, intended to assist the diagnosis and staging of Alzheimer's disease patients, which was recently granted fast-track designation by the FDA. And finally, our fibroblast activation protein, or FAP, targeted pet diagnostic imaging agent, is being clinically investigated in multiple tumor types. To supplement our ongoing R&D efforts, we will continue to leverage our significant radiopharmaceutical expertise and resources to target business development opportunities. With that, I'll now turn the call over to Paul.
