Market Overview

Fludeoxyglucose (18F) radionuclide injection is radioactive substance used for diagnostic purpose with Positron Emission Tomography (PET). This injection are basically used for diagnosis of cancer and coronary artery disease. 2-deoxy-2-[18F] fluoro-D-g1ucose is the active ingredients in the fludeoxyglucose (18F) radionuclide injection and it is administered by intravenous method.

As the time it is injected in the body, it increase the glucose level under pathophysiological condition. Fludeoxyglucose F-18 transport and phosphorylation which is used to assess glucose metabolism. It rapidly distributed to all organs of the body after intravenous administration. Glucose metabolism of cancer cell is reflected by Fludeoxyglucose F-18 as it accumulated under Positron Emission Tomography (PET).

Optimal PET imaging is generally achieved between 30 to 40 minutes after administration by Fludeoxyglucose (18F) radionuclide injection. Depending on tumor type, stage, and location, fludeoxyglucose F-18 accumulation may be increased, normal, or decreased. Fludeoxyglucose F-18 Injection are generally stored at 25°C (77°F); excursions permitted to 15-30°C in a lead shielded container.

Advancement in radiopharmaceutical technologies along with more improve hardware and software of PET imaging are the primary factors driving the growth of Fludeoxyglucose (18F) Radionuclide Injection market. Moreover improved accuracy in diagnostic and low risk associated with this injection will also responsible for the robust growth of Fludeoxyglucose (18F) Radionuclide Injection market.

Rising prevalence of cancer and cardiovascular diseases will also significantly drive the growth of this market. The focus of leading market player to collaborate with local and regional player will be absolute opportunity for the growth of this Fludeoxyglucose (18F) Radionuclide Injection market. The high cost of Fludeoxyglucose (18F) Radionuclide Injection will restrain the growth of this market. The lack of availability of skilled professional in low economic countries will also hamper the growth of this market.
