• Diagnostic Technology: High-precision diagnostic imaging services using advanced PET/CT and PET/MRI technologies.
• Therapy and Radiation Protection: Robust radiation safety systems protecting patients, medical personnel, and the surrounding environment.
Securing the QUANUM accreditation marks a major milestone as the Centre approaches its 20th Anniversary on September 19, 2026. Having continuously transformed Thailand’s nuclear medicine landscape, the Centre remains dedicated to fulfilling the royal vision of Professor Dr. Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn Krom Phra Srisavangavadhana, President of the Chulabhorn Royal Academy. The Centre continues to advance medical innovation, elevate precision diagnosis and treatment, achieve international status as a healthcare "Frontier," and deliver the highest confidence to all patients.
