The facility will be focused on production of medical isotopes including Sr-82, Ge-68, Cu-67, and others. Sr-82 and Ge-68 isotopes are of the high demand for production of Sr-82/ Rb 82 and Ge-68/Ga-68 radionuclide generators used in PET (Positron Emission Tomography) diagnostics of cardiac and oncological diseases respectively. Cardiac PET is a superior proven technology, which enables physicians to deliver a diagnosis with less artifactual defects and false-positive results. Wider spread of cardiac PET diagnostics is currently restrained by a shortage of Sr-82 isotope being produced by a limited number of manufacturers worldwide. Establishment of a Russian production site will make it possible to introduce very effective Rb-82- based cardiac PET diagnostics into clinical practices in Russia. CDNM's production facility will run a proton cyclotron Cyclone-70 manufactured by IBA (Ion Beam Applications), Belgium with target devices being developed in partnership with IHEP. CDNM's manufacturing facility will also have a radiochemistry lab for extraction and purification of radionuclide products and quality control laboratory.
