Achievements
Radioisotopes are chemical compounds designed to accumulate in cancer cells. While used for diagnostic purposes, they enter the patient’s body for a short period of time and facilitate the accurate imaging of the disease, without having any damaging effect. Another type of radioisotopes is used for therapeutic purposes. In order to eliminate cancer cells, emission of more destructive alpha or beta particles is required and they should last in the patient’s body for a few days. Both types of radiopharmaceuticals (diagnostic and therapeutic) will be enhanced at NOMATEN. Poland is a significant producer of radiopharmaceuticals supplying products to 80 countries in the world. There is no other industrial sector in which Polish economy records such a high rate.
