Abstract
The installation and commissioning of the BARC Medical Cyclotron Facility (MCF), in October 2002, was a landmark event for very important reasons. It was the first cyclotron in the country for producing short-lived positron emitting isotopes for positron emission tomography (PET) - a nuclear medicine investigation procedure - with proven use in oncology, cardiology and neurology. The nuclear medicine fraternity in the country was eagerly awaiting to use this modality for the benefit of cancer patients in the country; and within a short time it removed the apprehensions of the nuclear medicine centres about the economic viability of investing in such high cost equipment.
