About Cyclopharm Limited
Cyclopharm is a radiopharmaceutical company servicing the global
medical community. The Company’s mission is to provide nuclear
medicine and other clinicians with the ability to improve patient
care outcomes. Cyclopharm achieves this objective primarily through
the provision of its core radiopharmaceutical product, Technegas
(for lung imaging).
About Technegas
The Technegas technology is a structured ultra-fine dispersion
of radioactive labeled carbon, produced by using dried
Technetium-99m in a carbon crucible, micro furnaced for a few
seconds at around 2,700oC. The resultant gas like substance is
inhaled by the patient (lung ventilation) via a breathing
apparatus, which then allows multiple views and tomography imaging
under a gamma or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
camera for the superior diagnosis of pulmonary emboli (blood clots
in the lungs).
