The medical isotope shortage isn't having a big impact on the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. Vice President of Regional Cancer & Diagnostic Services Micahel Power says they've got another option for cancer patients. Patients in need of a bone scan are being directed towards the hospital's PET CT scanner. The PET CT Scanner uses a different type of isotope, one that isn't produced at the Chalk River facility. The chalk river facility is expected to be back up in the fall.
