PETNET expands domestic and international services

PETNET Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens Medical Solutions, is expanding its PET radiopharmaceutical network internationally and in the U.S.

PETNET added three production and distribution facilities--one each in Albuquerque, N.M., Madrid and Sydney. Further international expansion will build a PETNET presence in France, Singapore and India, completing the first phase of international expansion, the company said.

Siemens and PETNET Solutions partnered with the University of New Mexico Cancer Center on its new cancer facility that opened last week. Operation also is underway at PETNET Australia, an affiliation with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization, as well as in Madrid.
