The REKORD system is intended for the mass radioactive isotopes (MRI) diagnostics of the cardiological, oncological and neurological diseases, which determine the average value of inhabitants lifetime. The potentialities inherent in the MRI diagnostics enable a disease to be identified at the early stage, which is very important for the successful treatment and gives considerable social and economical effects. The system consists of a cyclotron with target systems to produce short-lived and ultra short-lived radionuclides, modules for radiopharmaceuticals synthesis systems built in protection boxes, tomographs for SPECT and PET, which are networked to the regional computer database. The system has no domestic analogues. The advantages over foreign analogues are the universality of the RECORD system and its autonomy, as the isotopes used for diagnostics are produced directly by this system. One sample of the equipment has been delivered to the Central Roentgen Radiological Institute in Pesochnaya and is under operation, excluding PET at the time being. The equipment has been designed and produced mainly in NIIEFA, which is granted the State License certifying the production of medical facilities and the International Quality Certificate. The delivery of the REKORD systems to the regions of the country will allow the problem of the clinical examination of the population of Russia on the modern level of medical diagnostic and information technologies to be successfully solved.
