Abstract

The paper introduces the increasing applications of cyclotrons in the field of health care and some major work carried out abroad. Its emphasis is placed on the introduction to the application status and the development process of medical cyclotrons in China. The paper has assessed possible developing trends of medical cyclotrons based on the current application demand and the technological development status.
