BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY

In 2007 & 2009 the world experienced shortages due to reactor outages, highlighting the vulnerability of the current supply chain. The shortages caused in significant price increases, delayed and canceled medical procedures and resulted in a decrease in patient care. In response, ARTMS Products Inc. developed an award-winning, first-to-market, locally deployable method for producing Tc-99m using existing, hospital-based medical cyclotrons. ARTMS holds the exclusive global commercialization rights to the award-winning and proprietary Canadian technology that addresses these challenges and offers the prospect of revolutionizing the nuclear medicine industry.
