"We at CNA decided to fit our new Cyclone 18/9 with a long beam transport line to irradiate with a good quality beam our physics experimental setup.
The beam line was configured by CNA and IBA experts, as a natural extension of one of the cyclotron beam ports, while keeping available the other seven beam ports for PET radionuclides production.
The experimental projects currently under development include ion implantation, radiation effects on semiconductors, and high energy PIXE”.

" …The wide distribution of PET cyclotrons will lead to a decentralized production of valuable medical isotopes that were formerly either the domain of large production centres or not available at all.... "

“The Cyclone 18/9 has met our Centre’s expectations as a reliable and a stable machine, producing ample radioisotope for our existing customers. Importantly, the Cyclone 18/9 has sufficient capacity and flexibility to continue to meet increased isotope demand for the foreseeable future, strengthening our position as the number one supplier in our region.
The user friendliness of the IBA operational system has enabled us to establish a broad team of skilled operators to ensure that the facility remains operational even at times when the availability of some of our staff is reduced, as occurs in busy hospitals.
The personal response and follow-up from individual IBA staff has greatly assisted our Centre’s technical understanding and problem solving capabilities for the Cyclone 18/9, which is demonstrated by our Centre’s up-time and isotope delivery rates.
We have no hesitation in recommending IBA as a partner for PET radioisotope production.”

« …These 18F targets of the new generation are the perfect answer to the increasing need of capacity of our commercial FDG production center: high reliability and efficiency. We currently run "2XL" targets day by day ... ».
