It conducts research to develop high-quality radiopharmaceuticals for KFSH&RC and other hospitals throughout the Kingdom to meet all healthcare needs of patients. The department adheres to high-quality standards for automated quality control and assurance while striving to advance cyclotron technology, precise radiopharmaceutical manufacturing, and the development of radiopharmaceuticals used in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).

All operational processes are subjected to rigorous monitoring for the periodic evaluation of materials, ensuring their continuous suitability. This approach has led to a remarkable customer satisfaction rate exceeding 95%.
