American Oncology Institute (AOI), Nagpur at Nangia Specialty Hospital, is pleased to announce the availability of advanced Gallium Generator-based PET-CT imaging services, strengthening its nuclear medicine and molecular imaging capabilities. This strategic addition will enable faster, more accurate diagnosis for a wide range of cancers and infectious diseases, positioning AOI Nagpur at the forefront of precision oncology in the region.
The Gallium Generator now available at AOI Nagpur enables faster and more accurate diagnosis of certain cancers and infections. This advanced technology allows in-house production of Gallium-68, used in PET-CT scans to detect cancers like neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer, as well as rare tumors such as paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas. It also supports the diagnosis of unexplained fevers and inflammatory conditions. With this facility, patients can access high-quality diagnostic care locally, without delays or the need to travel elsewhere.
This Gallium generator is valuable for diagnosing and assessing treatment response in various cancers—such as neuroendocrine tumors, prostate cancer, and gastrointestinal malignancies—that are often undetected on routine PET-CT scans.
Dr. Rohit Kakde, Nuclear Medicine Consultant, AOI Nagpur, emphasized the clinical importance, stating, “The Gallium Generator revolutionizes how we approach cancer imaging in Nagpur. It provides high-specificity imaging essential for early cancer detection, accurate staging, and monitoring therapy response, particularly in complex cases like prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors. Additionally, its role in diagnosing inflammatory and infectious conditions offers a wider scope for patient care beyond oncology.”
Adding further, Dr Hrushikesh Phate, Zonal Director, Central East Region, AOI Nagpur, said,
“The introduction of the Gallium Generator is a strategic move towards strengthening AOI Nagpur’s reputation as a comprehensive cancer center with cutting-edge facilities. Our goal is to ensure patients from Nagpur and Central India receive the most advanced diagnostics and treatments without the need to travel outside the region.”
American Oncology Institute, Nagpur, continues to innovate and invest in the latest technologies, delivering superior clinical excellence and compassionate care to patients across the region.
