Isotope JSC (included into Rusatom Healthcare JSC Division) signed new contracts for supply of technetium-99m generators GT-5K to the Republic of Armenia and germanium-68/ gallium-68 generators to the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The first lot of technetium-99m generators GT-5K with banks was delivered to Isotope Production Center CJSC in Yerevan at the end of February. This is the sixth medical institution in Armenia using the Russian radioisotopic products of ROSATOM. Technetium-99m generators GT-5K are used for diagnostics of oncological, cardiological, neuroendocrinal and other diseases in the course of single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT). Technetium-99m is the most requested isotope for nuclear medicine, and more than 80% of diagnostics procedures are based on it.
In 2023 Isotope JSC is planning to supply germanium-68/ gallium-68 (68Ge/68Ga) generators to Kazakhstan. Radionuclides produced with the use of a germanium-68/ gallium-68 generator are applied in the advanced medical diagnostics of oncological diseases, particularly in the course of positron-emission tomography.
