PET laboratory cyclotron iMiTRACE

Compact and Lightweight 12 MeV Cyclotron to produce up to 4 PET radioisotopes Specifically tailored for the in-situ production of radioisotopes used in PET applications, PMB designs and manufactures the cyclotron iMiTRACE. Due to its innovative architecture, it offers unique characteristics as well as high performance, with a high level of reliability. Innovative and unique Highly innovative and unique design He-free superconducting magnet Lightweight and self-shielded targetry 12 MeV energy 13N, 11C, 18F, 68Ga As the result of many technological improvements made on the cyclotron OSCAR, iMITRACE is highly innovative and unique. iMiTRACE using a helium-free superconducting and persistent magnet. Due to its particular design, it is a very light cyclotron: it can be installed in a 50 sqm room with only 50-cm-thick walls. The external self-shielded targets and the superconducting magnet allow iMiTRACE to be compact and extremely stable in operation, providing high production yields while not requiring helium cooling. Moreover, this cyclotron accelerates particles to 12 MeV, the perfect energy for the production of 13N, 11C, 18F and 68Ga which are used for PET imaging. iMiTRACE is able to produce radioisotope batches (up to 3,5 Ci of 18F in 2 hours).
