Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: GE-Healthcare, a unit of General Electric Company, on Tuesday announced the setting up of India's first radiopharmacy centre in New Delhi. The centre will offer isotopes and radiopharmaceuticals in unit doses to various nuclear medicine hospitals and healthcare centres in and around Delhi. Similar centres have been planned for Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

To be operational by the end of the year, the centre will be used to label and produce radiopharmaceutical imaging tracers and radioisotopes, a critical requirement for imaging patients using nuclear imaging, single photon emission tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.

Diagnostic examinations by these systems are used to evaluate a variety of diseases ranging from coronary artery diseases, says a company release.
