Draxis Health of Mississauga, ON, has gotten the nod from Canadian officials to begin clinical trails of a radiopharmaceutical designed to image difficult-to-diagnose infections. The radiopharmaceutical promises to selectively distinguish infection from inflammation by binding directly with bacteria.
