<<The radioisotope in therapeutic doses can be 10
to 100 times as high as in diagnostics. This implies there will be explosive demand
for the more esoteric isotopes that ONLY THE COMPANY'S LINAC CAN
MAKE IN QUANTITY.>>

Could you explain what you mean by this? Higher dosage means more isotope means more revenue? Only if there is more demand for the therapeutic use of the isotopes, which will depend on finding delivery vehicles for the isotopes specific enough to target the diseased cells.Am I correct? I don't think it is availability of isotopes that is holding back their use, though lowering the cost will increase demand.

Will INIS become the low cost provider in this field of isotopes that could be packaged by other companies (e.g. THRX) or are they going to directly market the end product?
