The field of nuclear engineering and physical engineering are widely used in many medical facilities, this project is to study all positive aspects in cyclotron field and reduce the negative aspects, and to assist nuclear medicine departments to have a good quality of medical services and to get high-quality types of radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and treatment. We designed and manufactured two products to develop the cyclotron field after we trained in KFSH&RC in Riyadh we've seen some deficiencies in the system and we have decided to have a solution for them, and these products were chosen after many case studies there. Trying to take advantage of the nuclear field, and its contribution to the medical field, we started with a Cyclotron Anatomy prototype to assists all nuclear engineering students to study all nuclear principles and all operating principles of cyclotron so that they can have a better understanding. And also we designed JAVA language software for Cyclotron production and information searching to assists the workers and technicians to have a trusted reference for radiopharmaceuticals production information and to know about all important information, production skills and to open more avenues for new research.

I would like to express our deep gratitude to the Dean of the Faculty Engineering at King Abdul Aziz University Dr. Abdul Raheem Kinsara and the Chairman of Nuclear Engineering Dr. Mohammad Al-Johani for their Support and assistance throughout our study. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Dr. Dheya S. AlOthamany, Chairman of Mining at the Engineering Dept. for supervising our research, and for his guidance and useful critiques of this project. I would also like to thank the Head of Cyclotron Dept. at KFSH & RC Engr. Salman M. Miliebari, for his advice and assistance in keeping our progress on Cyclotron Course and Practical Training. Our grateful thanks are also extended to Al FouzLathing Workshop Manager Eng. Fahad Haddad, for his Cooperation to design and build the Cyclotron Anatomy prototype as well as we would also like to extend our thanks to Senior Electrical Engineer Ammar Bin Seddeq for his Cooperation in Designing the Medical Cyclotron Production Reference Software. We would also like to thank the Medical Physicist Eng. AbdulazizAlFawdaee and Senior Electrical Eng. Ibrahim Goutah for their cooperation with us in typing the research report.

Finally, the deepest regards and gratefulness are dedicated to our parents for their lifelong support and care.

• Situation Description:

The Cyclotron has modern techniques to produce radiopharmaceutical to help Nuclear medicine fields. It's preferred for the Cyclotron to be in the same facility where the nuclear medicine application will be. Then it can help the patients for diagnostic and therapy without any loss of radioactivity for these pharmaceuticals.
We’ve noticed that there’s poor knowledge in Educational levels and occupational levels, which will affect the Economic growth and the increasing demand for Cyclotron Radiopharmaceuticals products in Medical Institutions worldwide. Because of the different techniques, there should be a friendly way for the workers to be more efficient and to reach a high-quality level at work. The educational facility should support and include cyclotron courses and techniques into study plans to let the students be updated to the new growth in this field.

• Problem Definition:

The general problem we faced is that there is a new domain of using and producing Radiopharmaceuticals in our country. The other problem is to raise the awareness and the importance of having a cyclotron in each facility and to make the availability of  Radiopharmaceuticals possible and easy. That will help the medical facility to diagnose and treat more cases of cancer and other diseases. There are needs for learning and giving more useful medical information for patients and the public beside the workers. Cancer is complicated to deal with if it has reached the stage of proliferation in the human body or if it’s located in a sensitive organ, e.g. brain.

• The Objectives of Medical Nuclear Cyclotron:

1. Improve and accelerate the techniques of cancer detection through highly qualified nuclear engineers and field workers.
2. Build user-friendly software to let the medical Cyclotron production easier, faster, efficient and scheduled.
3. Suggest and develop new ways of teaching nuclear field students so that they can be up to date to the basic principles and the latest technologies in Cyclotron and Radiopharmaceuticals production.
4. Let new students in medical nuclear fields have primary experience and skills of using radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine for diagnostics or therapy.
5. Have equipped the application of shielding simulation to assist radiation safety officers to apply the right protection plan for the medical Cyclotron facility.

• Prototypes:

It’s a Cyclotron anatomy principle prototype let all the Nuclear Engineering Students and also Biomedical Students study the Cyclotron and production principle and Nuclear Reaction basic idea and how to change the Target Material to Radiopharmaceutical solution used in Nuclear Medicine cases in Therapy and Diagnostics from the 7 Productive elements discussed in Appendix B, and all of the other facilities and important equipment to operate the cyclotron machine. 

• Computer Software:

It’s a JAVA Language software-based and depended on Searching of Radiopharmaceuticals information reference to assist the workers and Technicians to find the ideal production Energy, Target materials, type of targets whether its Gas, Solid or Liquid, and Which organ will be Diagnosed using Radiopharmaceuticals productions, Chart of Nuclide of the radiopharmaceuticals, type of pharmacy product whether its Capsules or Solutions and all information reference will be needed.

• Software Commercial name:

MCPRS (Medical Cyclotron Production Reference Software).

After the completion of this project, we hope that it has positive changes in the field of nuclear engineering and engineering physics to make sure of all medical scientific, economic, professional and quality aspects of all specialized Radiopharmaceuticals materials. Our goal is to benefit students in the Arab Gulf states, to whom we have done the project and have the potential to develop new ideas and continue the development of education in student's projects that had already been completed as development continues by students with new ideas and possibilities.
