Western Australian researchers are set to benefit from a major expansion in molecular imaging and radiopharmaceutical capability following construction of the new radiochemistry laboratories and cyclotron facility at RAPID Labs, located at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.
The expanded facility includes a second cyclotron and new radiopharmaceutical laboratories that will increase local production capacity for radiopharmaceuticals used in PET and SPECT imaging for research and clinical applications, such as diagnosis and treatment of many cancers, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, heart diseases, thyroid disorders and more.
