Development of Nuclear Medicine in Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan, being one of the leading centers for the development of nuclear medicine in Central Asia, is actively introducing modern technologies and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. New medical centers equipped with advanced equipment are opened in the country, and training programs are provided for specialists in this field.
Achievements of Nuclear Medicine
The achievements of nuclear physics and nuclear technologies are widely used in many sectors of the economy. In recent years, nuclear medicine has played an increasingly important role in areas such as oncology, neurology, endocrinology and cardiology. There has been significant growth in the field of nuclear medicine and imaging, which is expected to be a key driver of market growth.
Imaging techniques in nuclear medicine can detect any molecular activity in the body. Innovative approaches in the field of imaging and therapy are based on new, theranostic radiotracers and radiopharmaceuticals, which are used for diagnosis and treatment planning using PET/CT and PET/MRI scans.

According to an updated report by the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Data from the World Heart Federation show that they are the most common non-communicable diseases. In Saudi Arabia, the economic burden associated with cardiovascular diseases is projected to triple by 2035. In Australia, heart disease are found in 4% of the population. Nuclear medicine plays an important role in the early detection and treatment of these diseases. According to GLOBOCAN 2021, the number of new cancer cases in the world is expected to increase to 30.2 million by 2040, which also increases the demand for radioisotopes for radiation therapy.

Statistics

Over the past twenty-five years, physics has become increasingly important in medical research. One of the most impressive achievements in this new and developing field of medical physics has been the invention and development of the cyclotron, a specialized large-scale device in which charged particles such as protons, deuterons or alpha particles are accelerated to very high speeds along a circular trajectory and directed at targets consisting of enriched stable isotopes, converting into the corresponding radionuclides.

Expansion of opportunities. Innovation. Progress.

Three reasons to be the part of the project
  • Expanding opportunities

    The cyclotron facility in Uzbekistan will expand access to various radioisotopes, opening up new opportunities for medical diagnostics and therapy, as well as for industrial and scientific applications.

  • Innovation

    The advanced technologies that will be used in the cyclotron complex will allow the introduction of innovative methods and products in the field of nuclear medicine and related fields.

  • Progress

    The project implementation will be an important step forward for Uzbek science, medicine and industry, strengthening the country's position as a regional leader in the field of nuclear technology.

Role of cyclotrons in nuclear medicine
Cyclotrons are developing rapidly and becoming an increasingly important tool in the healthcare sector, especially for complex medical imaging procedures. Radiopharmaceuticals produced on cyclotrons are effective in detecting various types of cancer.
After production in a cyclotron, radioactive materials are transferred to protected hot chambers, where they undergo complex chemical treatment to obtain biological indicators. These indicators are used in medical imaging to accurately diagnose and treat diseases.

Overview

Our goal is to create a unique enterprise for the production of cyclotron products that will meet high international standards and meet the needs of the healthcare sector with an emphasis on innovation, radiation risk reduction and reliability.


Marketing research has shown a growing demand for radioisotopes and radioisotope products, so we will offer a wide range for the medical industry, as well as for academic and clinical research.

Uzbekistan's contribution to world science

Uzbekistan's unique experience in isotope production

  • Germanium-68 and Gallium-68

    The Institute of Nuclear Physics has developed unique technologies for the production of radionuclides, including germanium-68 and a gallium-68 generator based on it, which are widely used in nuclear medicine.

  • Lutetium-177

    The Institute has also developed technologies for the production of iridium-192 and other sought-after radionuclides such as caesium-131, iodine-125, samarium-153 and lutetium-177.

  • Cobalt-57

    Cobalt-57 is another important radionuclide, the production technology of which has been successfully mastered by the institute. This isotope is widely used in diagnostics and calibration of equipment.

Local access to radioactive isotopes

  • Accessibility of medical care

    Hospitals, clinics and medical research institutions in Uzbekistan will have local access to radioactive isotopes, which will increase the likelihood of accurate diagnosis and monitoring of patients' condition.

  • Diagnostic efficiency

    The information provided during nuclear medicine examinations is unique and often unattainable when using other imaging techniques.

  • New areas of research

    This will generate interesting new research that may lead to a deeper understanding of diseases and their treatment.

  • Detection of diseases

    Local access to radioactive isotopes will increase the likelihood of timely diagnosis of various diseases, which will allow treatment to begin at an early stage.

  • New areas of research

    The availability of radioactive isotopes will open up new research opportunities that can lead to a better understanding of diseases and their treatment.

  • Benefits of nuclear medicine

    Nuclear medicine is more accurate and cost-effective than invasive surgical methods of diagnosis and treatment.

Project opportunities

Project significance

  • Improving the sustainability of supply chains

    The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed vulnerabilities in global supply chains of medical equipment and drugs. This highlights the importance of strengthening domestic production capabilities to avoid future shocks.

  • Stimulating the local pharmaceutical industry

    The expansion of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical production in Uzbekistan will increase the demand for local production of medicines, creating conditions for the sustainable development of the industry.

  • Creating a reliable healthcare ecosystem

    The development of the cyclotron facility will lay the foundation for the formation of an integrated and sustainable healthcare system in Uzbekistan, combining modern diagnostic and therapeutic technologies.

  • Strengthening public-private partnerships

    Cooperation between the public and private sectors will effectively combine resources, talents, technology and financing to achieve both commercial and social development goals.
