The creation of a PET center in the Kharkov region is proposed. This is facilitated by the transfer of the cyclotron by the Julich Research Center (Germany) to Kharkiv, which will ensure the development of the diagnostic radiopharmaceutical “Glucose,18F”. An additional expansion of the treatment base is possible by acquiring a microtron electron accelerator, which will make it possible to produce and use for treatment of cancer the “Ethanol,11C” radiopharmaceutical and the "Glucose,11C" diagnostic radiopharmaceutical developed at the NSC KIPT.
