It is used to treat cancer as part of nuclear medical procedures and it will allow the continuation of CT and PET imaging, noting that this device is not available at KHCC, where an accelerator located at a military hospital is used instead, which in turn has become worn out and has stopped working six weeks ago. Another accelerator at a private hospital is being currently used and as there are no other similar devices in Jordan. The high demand is causing a delay in providing the necessary treatment to patients. Thus, having this device at KHCC has become crucial, as it gives the center flexibility in determining the quantities produced and the necessary operating days without the need to wait for external parties, for waiting may negatively affect patient health. It will also enable KHCC to maintain its position as the best cancer treatment facility in the Middle East.
