Specialty Isotopes: Medical Isotopes

• Medical isotopes are used to prevent, diagnose and treat disease

• Main isotope supply sources are nuclear reactors and cyclotrons

• Primary product is Mo-99, which decays for use in Technetium-99 (Tc-99m) generators, used in imaging to diagnose heart disease and cancers

• Other Key Reactor Isotopes:– Xenon-133 (Xe-133), used in lung scans;

– Iodine-131 (I-131), used to treat hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma;

– Iodine-125 (I-125), used to treat prostate cancer;

• Key Cyclotron Isotopes:– Iodine-123 (I-123), used to diagnose thyroid disease;

– Strontium-82 (Sr-82), used to manufacture rubidium-82 generators, which are used in imaging to diagnose heart disease

– Thallium-201 (Tl-201), used to diagnose and assess risk of coronary artery heart disease;

– Palladium-103 (Pd-103), used to treat prostate cancer;

– Indium-111 (In-111) and Gallium-67 (Ga-67) (both used to diagnose infection and cancer) at our Vancouver facilities
