ABT Molecular Imaging has implemented its first cyclotron in Russia for the production of PET radiopharmaceuticals.
The company installed its BG-75 biomarker generator package, which was completed in cooperation with the Diagnostic and Treatment Center of the International Institute of Biological Systems in St. Petersburg, and its U.S. representative, Owen Kane Molecular Imaging.
BG-75 integrates a compact cyclotron, microchemistry, and automated quality control to provide single-dose, on-demand F-18 FDG for PET studies.
The system is in full clinical use, providing in-house production of F-18 FDG. The system has been installed at the institute's Center of Radiosurgery, Stereotactic Radiotherapy and Oncology.
