摘要:
Biomodulators, optionally linked to imaging-active moieties, can be administered to a host to enhance images thereof, e.g., NMR-, X-ray- or radio-images, preferably by increasing aberrant tissue signal intensity. Biomodulators can also condition tissue to enhance uptake of otherwise non-specific imaging agents. When linked to drugs, biomodulators can target the same to particular sites in the body.

Systems, methods, and devices for generating radionuclides for use in production of radiopharmaceuticals; synthesizing the radionuclides generated and removing any unwanted products; measuring the quantity and activity level of the synthesized radionuclides; distributively delivering the radionuclides in appropriate quantities to modular cassette synthesis units in a modular cassette subsystem for contemporaneous/parallel production of radiopharmaceutical output and that allow reuse and/or quick, safe, and disposable replacement of portions of the subsystem; delivering non-radionuclide components to the modular cassette synthesis units as part of production of radiopharmaceutical output; measuring the quantity and activity level of each stream of radiopharmaceutical output; purifying the radiopharmaceutical output; dispensing individual doses in sterile vial(s); automatically producing labeling and dose related information; performing automated quality control on extracted samples of produced radiopharmaceutical output; and providing software and hardware controls for overall and sub-portion operation for optional remote data collection, communication, and/or control.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods for synthesizing compounds on solid supports. The invention also relates to synthesizing labeled compounds, such as those used in the field of radiopharmaceuticals. The invention relates to methods for synthesizing halogenated radiopharmaceuticals such as fludeoxyglucose (also known as fluorodeoxyglucose or FDG).

A closed path vial fill system includes a bulk product vial, a peristaltic pump operated by a stepper motor, a dispensing manifold assembly to which may be coupled at least one final product vial, an optional quality check station, and an optional waste collection system. A concentration, activity, and volume (CAV) sensor may be incorporated into the system to receive a radiopharmaceutical product directly from a synthesizing unit. A control system may be integrated into the system to provide automated control of various aspects of the radiopharmaceutical dispensing process. The system is used to aseptically dispense finished radiopharmaceuticals into receiving vessels, such as a Quality Control vial, a sterility vial, and/or final product vials, while providing users an efficient means for removing and discarding contaminated disposable components.

摘要:
A tumor treatment apparatus may include an array of collimated CZT detectors configured to intersect a known coordinate and measure gamma radiation activity, for example at 511 keV. A radiation delivery system may be configured to direct radiation through the known coordinate on the basis of the gamma radiation activity. A translatable and rotatable table may be configured to support a tumor host, wherein the tumor is positionable relative to the known coordinate on the basis of the gamma radiation activity emitted by the tumor and measured by the array of collimated CZT detectors. Radiation from the radiation delivery system may be delivered to the tumor at the known coordinate, and may be delivered in an intra-operative surgical environment.
摘要:
A method and system for performing automated quality control analysis of a plurality of radiopharmaceuticals are provided. The method includes uniquely identifying each of the plurality of radiopharmaceuticals, and identifying and implementing a tailored quality control program for each of the radiopharmaceuticals. The method further includes automatically performing a plurality of selected quality control tests for each of the radiopharmaceuticals based on the tailored quality control program, and collecting information produced by the plurality of selected quality control tests.
摘要:
Biomodulators, optionally linked to imaging-active moieties, can be administered to a host to enhance images thereof, e.g., NMR-, X-ray- or radio-images, preferably by increasing aberrant tissue signal intensity. Biomodulators can also condition tissue to enhance up-take of otherwise non-specific imaging agents. When linked to drugs, biomodulators can target the same to particular sites in the body.
摘要:
Biomodulators can be administered together with an agent such as a drug or an imaging agent (specific or non-specific) structurally modified to take advantage of perturbations of cell oligosaccharide displays caused by biomodulators, to enhance images of a host, e.g., NMR-, X-ray- or radioimages, preferably by increasing aberrant tissue signal intensity. Biomodulators condition tissue to enhance or otherwise modify up-take of the drug or structurally modified imaging agent.
摘要:
A computer includes a memory and a processor, the memory having instrul. A computer-implemented method, a computer comprising a storage device, a memory and a processor, the storage device having instructions stored therein. The instructions, which when executed by the processor, causes the computer to (1) receive, at the production module, a request for production of a radioactive pharmaceutical; (2) verify, utilizing a training module on the computer, completion by the user of at least a training program corresponding to production of the radioactive pharmaceutical; (3) verify completion by the user of equipment calibration requirements and equipment qualification requirements for the equipment that is used in the production of the radioactive pharmaceutical; and (4) prevent access to further operations of the production module if the training program has not been completed, the equipment calibration requirements have not been completed or the equipment qualification requirements have not been completed.
