A high-capacity cyclotron facility will appear in Kazakhstan

  29.11.2021

Cancer diagnostics in the early stages, high-tech research will soon be available to every citizen of Kazakhstan in the Presidential Hospital. In 2022, a Cyclotron Facility for the production of radiopharmaceuticals will be opened based on the Hospital. In addition to the production of radioactive drugs, PET/CT device that has no analogues in the CIS countries will be also available in this facility.

PET/CT examination in the Presidential Hospital with the Сyclotron Facility will help to detect oncological diseases in the early stages, which will significantly improve the effectiveness of treatment.

Now, there is no cyclotron facility in the Presidential Hospital. The Hospital is supplied with radioactive drugs, which is not always convenient, because suppliers of these drugs disrupt delivery times due to problems in production. The construction of the cyclotron facility will allow conducting research without interruption. However, the facility will improve not only the diagnosis of oncology, but at the same time expand the diagnostic capabilities of our country’s medicine in the field of cardiology and neurology. For example, in the study of terminal chronic heart failure, in the search for the epilepsy zone, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, multisystem atrophy and other diseases. By 2025, 9 radiopharmaceuticals will be produced in the facility.

How does the research work? A radioactive drug is injected intravenously into the patient, and the doctor after a certain time with the help of modern equipment sees its spatial distribution in the cells, tissues or organs of the person being examined. With the help of modern computer systems, an image is formed, which is analyzed by the specialists.

To date, the Nuclear Medicine Unit of the Diagnostic Center of the Presidential Hospital is one of the few projects in the country that combines the experience of leading specialists in the field of nuclear medicine: highly qualified doctors, physicists, chemists and medical workers, and the capabilities of the latest high-tech equipment to serve the health of the nation.
