Nuclear medicine is a medical field specialized in utilizing tiny amounts of radioisotopes (RI) combined with pharmaceuticals or medical devices for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
Nihon Medi-Physics was established in 1973 for the purpose of domestically producing radioisotopes used in medical procedures which had been imported. Closely working with medical care providers including physicians and technologists, Nihon Medi-Physics has actively improved the technology and developed a wide range of products, achieving remarkable breakthroughs in nuclear medicine.
In 2005, we started distributing a PET diagnostic in addition to our core products for SPECT, opening up new possibilities of diagnosis. We are also actively engaged in expanding into the field of radiotherapy, by taking advantage of our wealth of knowledge and experience in radiopharmaceuticals.
In February 2009, the Ordinance for Enforcement of the Veterinary Practice Act was revised, and we took this opportunity to enter the market for veterinary medicine. We are now contributing to bone scintigraphy for horses and RI imaging (limited to Tc-99m and F-18FDG) for dogs and cats. |
