KENNEWICK, Wash., March 13, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) (PRIMEZONE) -- Advanced Medical Isotopes Corporation (AMIC) (Pink Sheets:ADMD) of Kennewick, Washington announces its plans to commission a facility for the production of radiopharmaceuticals used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging applications, as well as many other important diagnostic and therapeutic medical isotopes. Operations will commence in Q3 of 2007 with the installation of a cost-effective proton linear accelerator (linac) purchased from AccSys Technology, Inc. (AccSys). This PULSAR(r) PET Isotope Production system, which sets a new standard for production of PET and other isotopes using proton beams, is a more compact and reliable alternative to cyclotrons, incorporating proven compact accelerator technology integrated with high production yield targets and advanced chemistry process units.
