New technology to improve capability for clinical radiopharmaceutical production

People Involved

Project Description

Medical imaging techniques rely on radioactive atoms that don't last for a long time and so methods need to be developed to handle them on hospital sites or close by. Essentially this is drug factory near to the patient as the material is decaying all the time and needs to be handed over quickly.The new technology we have developed in this work will allow the production of the tracers in a more streamlined manner that will give clinicians a greater number of tools to assess and diagnose their patients. More effective tools will give improved outcomes.
