Operation and Maintenance of Various Accelerators and Medical PET

ATOX operates and maintains a medium-scale cyclotron accelerator used for the production of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) test reagents. We are also stationed at each hospital to operate and maintain small-scale cyclotrons used for the production of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) diagnostics reagents.
Furthermore, we are taking on challenges in the medical business centering on nuclear medicine, including the operation of accelerators in general hospitals and clinics where PET is installed, as well as involvement in the manufacture of PET investigational drugs that can detect amyloid β, which is one of the causative substances of 18F-FDG and Alzheimer's, and is widely used in cancer diagnosis.
