IBA, ELYSIA In order to detect cardiac lesions or to assess pumping capacity, PET imaging can provide an accurate diagnosis and help to define the best treatment. In order to make this technology more accessible in hospitals, IBA, Elysia and the Universities of Liège and Louvain-la-Neuve have decided to pool their resources and technological expertise to work on the next generation of 13NH3 production solution for cardiac applications. GIGA-CRC’s role in this project was to produce 13NH3 via its cyclotron from a target dedicated to this isotope and via a shielded cell adapted to this application. The produced 13NH3 was then used by the company Elysia to develop a purification and quality control process in order to make an injectable radiopharmaceutical for humans.
