CHALK RIVER, Ontario, Oct. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), Canada’s premier nuclear science and technology organization, is pleased to announce that it is building on its 70-year history in medical isotope production and research to advance the availability and scientific understanding of actinium-225, a rare medical isotope that has shown great […]

November 26, 2019 – Gallium-68 (68Ga) is a positron emitter that’s becoming established as a valuable diagnostic isotope, primarily for detection of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Such tumours do not metabolize glucose well – precluding their visualization via standard FDG-PET scans – but overexpress somatostatin receptors that bind, for example, to the PET agent 68Ga-Dotatate. Currently, 68Ga is […]

June 13, 2019 – The ANSTO Nuclear Medicine (ANM) facility has received a regulatory licence that will allow it to move to full production of molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), the Australian nuclear science and technology organisation announced today. Limited manufacturing of the isotope began in April after the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) amended […]

July 23, 2019 – The US Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has awarded cooperative agreements for the production of molybdenum-99 to three US companies. The announcement came as one of the companies – Shine Medical Technologies – submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to produce medical isotopes at its […]

JERUSALEM, June 5, 2019 — Israeli researchers have developed a new efficient and inexpensive method of producing radioactive isotopes for nuclear medicine and imaging technologies such as CT and PET CT scans. The development was reported by the southern Ben-Gurion University on Wednesday. Isotopes are types of the same chemical element, which differ in their […]
