Advanced Cyclotron Systems
Advanced Cyclotron Systems, Inc. is a company based in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada that supplies and services cyclotrons predominately used for the production of medical isotopes by hospitals for nuclear medicine. The company was a spin-off of the research program at TRIUMF. The machines are used for the production of isotopes used in Positron emission tomography, Single-photon emission computed tomography or production of technetium-99 for molecular imaging. ACSI controls approximately half the world market for such machines,
Four models of cyclotrons are offered:
- TR-19 variable energy negative ion cyclotrons
- TR-24 high current cyclotron used for the production of PET and SPECT isotopes; including one machine installed at the Université de Sherbrooke,
- TR-FLEX high current cyclotron used for PET and SPECT isotopes.
- TR-30 high current cyclotron used for SPECT isotopes.
