MINItrace Cyclotron

Small footprint isotope production system with sufficient capacity for in-house production and local distribution

Compact, self-shielded, affordable cyclotron

The MINItrace Qilin is a fully automated, positron emitting cyclotron capable of producing isotopes to cover >99% of all clinical PET procedures. With sufficient capacity to support 3-4 in house scanners and supply local distribution needs, it has one of the smallest footprints of all clinical cyclotrons to enable easy siting and installation. Like all GE cyclotrons, the MINItrace Qilin’s vertical design minimizes radiation dose exposure to your staff and maintenance times for industry leading reliability.

The MINItrace Qilin cyclotron is designed to help you to be efficient and productive. It offers you:

• High reliability
• Easy operation
• Automated production sequence
• Low radiation dose exposure
