The government of British Columbia has secured $32 million in funding for a new cyclotron facility and radiopharmacy laboratory at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The funds are intended to increase the domestic supply of radioisotopes for nuclear medicine imaging exams. The new facility is expected to expand British Columbia's capacity from 16,000 PET/CT scans per year to 41,000 per year. UBC's Triumf research center will receive $11 million of the funds for advanced research projects, and the cyclotron is expected to be in operation by 2026.
