✦ Synopsis

In recent years SPECT radioisotope producers have generally built their businesses around 30 MeV cyclotrons. An important aspect of these production facilities is the beamline system which must have a high transmission rate, low residual radiation, and low maintenance requirements. This paper describes developments in these areas.
