Knoxville, TN, UNITED STATES, May 17, 2016 – ABT Molecular Imaging has successfully installed and implemented the BG-75 Biomarker Generator System for on-site 18F-FDG production at Aga Khan University Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan.
In concert with ABT’s distribution partner in the region, Allmed Solutions, the BG-75 System was installed in December 2015, placed into clinical operation in January 2016, and has produced over 400 clinical 18F-FDG doses to date.
Dr. Maseeh uz Zaman, Nuclear Medicine Chief at Aga Khan, stated: “I have believed for some time that global expansion of PET would depend, to a significant extent, on moving from existing centralized models for 18F-FDG production, to decentralized models, utilizing a compact, user-friendly cyclotron with automated radiochemistry and quality control.” “ABT has delivered on this promise with the Biomarker Generator, enabling us to produce cost effective and reliable on-demand 18F-FDG in-house.”
