Using its electron linear accelerator, researchers have enabled two companies to demonstrate new methods for the production of molybdenum-99, the parent isotope of technetium-99m – a medical isotope ...
The CERN-MEDICIS facility in Geneva, Switzerland has produced radioisotopes for medical research for the first time. This is the first step in the MEDICIS facility’s plans to make a large number of ...
Along with the development of 18F- and 68Ga-labeled PET agents, radioisotopes have enabled precise diagnostic imaging across diverse clinical applications. Similarly, radiotherapy, a long-established ...
The production of radioisotopes used in medicine has continued during the COVID-19 pandemic, but hospitals could face shortages due to bottlenecks in transport and distribution. This is the picture ...
BIOEMTECH has inked a strategic agreement with NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes to supply actinium-225 (Ac-225) for ...
Glioblastoma is an aggressive malignancy and accounts for about 15 per cent of all brain tumours. Even when initially controlled by treatment, the cancer almost always returns. Surgery and ...
The world's most powerful beam of heavy ions has enabled Japanese scientists and their international collaborators to uncover 45 new neutron-rich radioisotopes in a region of the nuclear chart never ...
Conceived in wartime, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) managed the transition to peacetime, in part, through the production and distribution of radioisotopes, perhaps the most important scientific ...
