Siemens subsidiary PETNET Solutions will supply an experimental PET radioisotope for the phase II and III trials examining its value as a cardiac perfusion agent. The radiotracer, BMS747158, is a novel fluorine-18-labeled tracer developed by Lantheus Medical Imaging for myocardial perfusion imaging in subjects under rest and stress conditions. Lantheus is running the trials. PETNET Solutions operates a network of 52 radiopharmacies and distribution centers worldwide that manufacture and distribute PET biomarkers.
