With investments in two new facilities – the PET Radiochemistry Facility and the Mangurian Building – Jacksonville's Mayo Clinic has dramatically increased its capacity and capabilities in treating cancer and neurological patients. The PET Radiochemistry Facility houses a GE cyclotron and a pharmaceutical manufacturing laboratory. Four Mayo scientists in the facility manufacture the radioactive isotopes used by Mayo Clinic in patient scans, including isotopes for cancer imaging, bone scans, heart disease imaging and brain scans. The facility also makes Mayo-developed isotopes to be used in human trials.
