Funding: Work supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the agreement ID 0000000007417-3I0002 The Centre for Development of nuclear medicine (CDNM Ltd) in partnership with the Institute of High Energy Physics of the National Research Centre Kurchatov institute (IHEP) is establishing in Protvino a manufacturing facility on the basis of 70 MeV proton cyclotron. 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. |
