Their newly published findings could have major implications for other health jurisdictions across North America as well.Researchers at the university’s Medical Isotope and Cyclotron Facility used a particle accelerator known as a cyclotron to produce enough isotopes for up to 1,000 diagnostic procedures in a day.
