Advanced Radiotherapy Techniques

Five years operation of a compact cyclotron installed at PET‐CT facility in Caracas, Venezuela is given. Production rate of 18F labeled FDG, operation and radiation monitoring experience are included. We conclude that 18FDG CT‐PET is the most effective technique for patient diagnosis.
