00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:06.320
<b>We are in Katowice,</b>

00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:07.200
<b>in a modern</b>

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.720
<b>radiopharmaceutical production facility.</b>

00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:11.560
<b>This is an investment</b>

00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:13.080
<b>that is continuously being expanded.</b>

00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.719
<b>We are currently adding new buildings to the facility,</b>

00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.600
<b>where we will be able to carry out both diagnostic</b>

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.679
<b>and therapeutic studies at the same time.</b>

00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:25.760
<b>We are entering the cyclotron bunker.</b>

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.719
<b>Behind me, there is a nearly 2.5-meter-thick door.</b>

00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.079
<b>The nature of our work</b>

00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:32.159
<b>requires the use of a cyclotron</b>

00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:33.520
<b>with sufficient capacity.</b>

00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:37.920
<b>We have three production laboratories</b>

00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:40.399
<b>dedicated to specific radiopharmaceuticals.</b>

00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.200
<b>We can see the operator preparing the dispenser.</b>

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:44.679
<b>The dispenser is prepared from scratch</b>

00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.039
<b>before each production run.</b>

00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:48.799
<b>Everything is carried out while maintaining</b>

00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:50.359
<b>the highest standards of cleanliness.</b>

00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:51.920
<b>This is the synthesizer</b>

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.719
<b>used to produce our main product, Vipeta.</b>

00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.119
<b>Many years of experience have shown us</b>

00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.359
<b>how important the quality and reliability</b>

00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:00.880
<b>of the equipment we use are,</b>

00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.159
<b>as any failure leads to production downtime.</b>

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:09.159
<b>We have only a few hours</b>

00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:10.879
<b>to prepare the product,</b>

00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.400
<b>verify that it meets</b>

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.159
<b>all regulatory requirements,</b>

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:16.159
<b>and then administer it to the patient.</b>

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:17.480
<b>In conventional pharmaceuticals,</b>

00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:18.760
<b>this is a process that takes</b>

00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:20.159
<b>weeks or even months.</b>

00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:21.640
<b>We have only a few hours.</b>

00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.760
<b>Time is a critical factor here.</b>

00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:26.959
<b>Once the substance arrives,</b>

00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.439
<b>it must be administered to the designated patient</b>

00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:30.480
<b>as quickly as possible.</b>

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.400
<b>This is where the radiopharmaceutical is delivered.</b>

00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.640
<b>The laminar flow cabinets we see here</b>

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:39.959
<b>are used to prepare doses for patients.</b>

00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:43.400
<b>Our center is equipped with</b>

00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.120
<b>a digital PET/CT scanner</b>

00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.000
<b>and a SPECT/CT gamma camera.</b>

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.480
<b>Additionally, we have a gamma camera</b>

00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.400
<b>used exclusively for cardiology imaging.</b>

00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:55.959
<b>Very importantly,</b>

00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.120
<b>we are also an experienced team</b>

00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.519
<b>in interpreting these studies.</b>

00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:05.560
<b>We offer a wide range of oncology imaging studies.</b>

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:09.159
<b>We also offer studies with other radiotracers,</b>

00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:13.280
<b>for example with ⁶⁸Ga-labeled PSMA.</b>

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.199
<b>These procedures are carried out by qualified staff.</b>

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.960
<b>As soon as you enter a nuclear medicine facility,</b>

00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:21.719
<b>you are in safe hands.</b>
