Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Cyclotron
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an imaging technology employing radioisotopes with short lifetimes. These radioisotopes are generated through the use of a particle accelerator like a cyclotron. In this process, high-speed particles are accelerated and directed toward a target substance, triggering a nuclear reaction that yields the desired radioisotope.
The radioisotope substance is then transferred into a Hot lab room, where the production of the PET drug occurs through chemical reactions within a Synthesizer, located in a hot cell. The quality of the PET drug is tested through rigorous quality checks (QC). After passing QC, the PET drug is dispensed to a vial or a syringe within the Hot lab, and transported to an injection room. After injection to the patient, the patient rests for about an hour until the PET drug spreads throughout the body. The patient then undergoes PET-CT imaging with a PET-CT scanner.
