Popis:	The work provides arguments for the selection of 18 MeV cyclotron in protons, in its Twin variant. It will be used only for nuclear reactions with these particles in order to ensure the supply of radionuclides in Cuba, for the positron emission tomography (18F mainly) as well as for single photon emission computed tomography (123I, for example), in the future. Data indicating the possibility of supplying 18F-FDG to at least five PET centers are given. This shall allow Cuba to access the one of the most advanced imaging technology, with the consequent benefit for patients suffering from cancer, cardiovascular and neurological diseases.
