- US-based nuclear medicine technology company NorthStar Medical
Radioisotopes, LLC and IBA (Ion Beam Applications S.A., EURONEXT), a provider of proton therapy solutions for the treatment of cancer, have signed a contract with NorthStar for the purchase of as many as eight Rhodotron TT300 HE electron beam accelerators from IBA, the companies said.
Because of the short half-life of these
radioisotopes, it is impossible to stockpile these products.
With the FDA's approval of the RadioGenix System, NorthStar can begin providing its customers with a reliable and environmentally friendly supply of the Mo-99
radioisotope for the United States, said George P.
All patients had
radioisotope injection of technetium-99m sulfur colloid and approximately 56% of cases had dual tracer with both the
radioisotope and blue dye.
Cerebral Magnetic Resonance Imaging enhanced with gadolinium contrast 22 months after intracavitary irradiation with

"
Radioisotope power systems are a key tool to power the next generation of planetary orbiters, landers and rovers in our quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe."
"The production, transportation and placing of a
radioisotope is done with specific security measures.
The process will consist of 3 stages: production of
radioisotopes and molecular diagnostics, X-ray therapy, and chemotherapy.
For example, the invention could replace the radioactive materials, called
radioisotopes, used in drilling for oil as well as other industrial and scientific operations.
PNRI Director Alumanda de la Rosa said the agency's target was to have patients pay at least 50 percent less for hospital procedures using the medical
radioisotope Technetium-99m.
