The particle accelerators and shielded robotic chemistry boxes that make PET tracers in hospital basements and commercial pharmacies.
Compact 11-30 MeV cyclotrons from IBA (Cyclone), GE HealthCare (PETtrace, MINItrace), Siemens (Eclipse), ACSI (TR-24), and Sumitomo produce 18F, 68Ga, 64Cu, and 89Zr; shielded hot cells (Comecer, Von Gahlen, Tema Sinergie) house automated synthesis modules (Trasis AllinOne, IBA Synthera, GE FASTlab, Eckert & Ziegler Modular-Lab, Siemens Explora) that run GMP radiochemistry from cassettes. Solid-target 68Ga production is displacing generators at high-volume sites.
Proton bombardment of enriched targets produces the isotope; cassette-based automated modules perform labelling, purification, and formulation behind lead shielding with QC before release.
Nothing recorded yet: a foundation, or a gap to fill.
Dependencies are what this technology cannot be delivered without: manufacturing steps, instruments, software, upstream methods. See its full chain on the map.
