- In order to make the Moravian regions independent of supplies of PET radiopharmaceuticals from Central Bohemia, a second PET centre was built within the Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute in Brno in 2005. The construction started in April 2006. This construction was partially funded as part of the INOVACE II programme of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as well as from the national budget of the Czech Republic. The PET Centre Brno commenced trial operation on 1 June 2007.
- The facility is equipped to manufacture the most commonly used PET radiopharmaceutical “Fludeoxyglukosa inj.” (commercial name of the product of ÚJV Řež, a. s.). This is a radiodiagnostics agent used by PET or PET/CT methods.
