Nuclear Medicine: A Growing Industry
The nuclear imaging market in India is projected to grow from $332 million in 2025 to $422 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 4.92%.
🚀 Why this growth?
✅ Expanding use of PET and SPECT imaging
✅ Increased cancer and cardiovascular disease cases
✅ Government support for nuclear medicine
Breakthroughs in Cancer Diagnosis & Therapy
💡 Early Detection with Advanced Imaging
- PET & SPECT scans rely on isotopes like Fluorine-18 (F-18) and Gallium-68 (Ga-68) to detect cancer at early stages.
- Hybrid imaging techniques are improving diagnostic accuracy, helping oncologists design precise treatment plans.
⚡ Targeted Radionuclide Therapy (TRT): A Game-Changer
- Lutetium-177 (Lu-177) and Yttrium-90 (Y-90) are leading innovations in precision cancer treatments.
- Theranostics (combining diagnostics & therapy) allows real-time tracking of cancer treatment, improving patient outcomes.
📍 Did You Know? India is increasing domestic production of Lu-177 to reduce dependence on imports and enhance accessibility for cancer patients.
🏥 Radiopharmaceuticals: Vital for Treatment & Research
🔬 Key Isotopes & Their Applications:
Isotope Application
Tc-99m Imaging (Heart, Bones, Brain, Lungs)
F-18 PET Scans (Oncology, Neurology)
I-131 Thyroid Cancer & Hyperthyroidism
Lu-177 Targeted Cancer Therapy
Y-90 Liver Cancer & Arthritis Treatment
Sm-153 Pain relief in bone cancer patients
📊 India’s Weekly Demand for Medical Isotopes:
- Mo-99: 25-50 Ci
- I-131: 40-50 Ci
- Lu-177: 20-25 Ci
- Co-60 (Sterilization): 8,000 Ci
With demand surging, strengthening domestic production and isotope supply chains is vital for ensuring uninterrupted access to life-saving treatments.
Radiation Sterilization: Ensuring Safety in Healthcare
Gamma irradiation using Co-60 is revolutionizing medical product sterilization:
✅ Used for syringes, implants, surgical tools
✅ Ensures sterility without chemicals
✅ Extends shelf life of critical healthcare supplies
