Automated Radiosynthesis Modules Market

Good Growth Opportunities in Global Automated Radiosynthesis Modules Market Till 2027
Radiosynthesis modules are automated equipment used for radio pharmaceuticals synthesis and the molecular labelling . It is used for the formulation and production of radiotracers . Radioactive tracers are chemical compound in which atoms are replaced by radioisotope , radioactive decay mechanism is used to trace the path that is followed by radioisotope to form product . Mainly radioisotopes are manufactured in radiopharmaceutical units and laboratories . The half-life of radiotracers are limited , thus decreasing the performance in diagnostics and therapeutics . The scope of customization of production of radiotracer is decreased with the increase in time interval for the radiotracer to reach the end user . Radiosynthesis modules are easy to use and set and offers the scope for customization of the radiotracers . The product obtained from the automated radiosynthesis module can be used for both research and in the field of therapeutic nuclear medicine .
Nuclear medicine therapy is performed differently for different indications . While treatment of thyroid cancer or overactive thyroid gland , nuclear medicine is swallowed in a capsule or liquid form . Patients are usually treated as outpatients where single dose is needed in most of the cases . During treatment of joint pain ( Arthritis ), nuclear medicine is injected into joint fluid under local anaesthetic post which the joint is immobilized with the help of bandage or light splint . Bones affected due to spreading of pain caused by cancer is treated by injecting radiopharmaceutical in a vein in the arms . Automated radiosynthesis module is used during Positron Emission Tomography ( PET ) and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography ( SPECT ) imaging . It is the most common imaging techniques used in nuclear medicine .
