The goal of research in nuclear medicine imaging sciences is to advance functional imaging technologies to non-invasively image and quantify the spatiotemporal distribution of physiological, cellular and molecular events and processes for biomedical, biological, diagnostic, therapeutic, and pharmaceutical applications.

A GMP laboratory is established to produce human use F-18 labeled compounds at CTRC. In this lab we have Comecer hot cell and a GE FX-N2 automated synthesis module installed in this hot cell. This synthesizer will give us capability to produce lot of F-18 compounds. We have two laminar flow hoods. At the moment we buy F-18 from Cardinal health.

Specialized laboratories and services support our faculty’s active research programs and provide training opportunities for students and residents.
