Cambridge Isotope Laboratories (CIL) of Boston has acquired 100% of the stock of ABX Advanced Biochemical Compounds of Radeberg, Germany.
CIL, a manufacturer of stable isotope-labeled research chemicals and a supplier of O-18 water to PET nuclear pharmacies, said that the acquisition will further its efforts toward supplying nuclear medicine products for PET, SPECT, and MRI.
ABX specializes in the development and manufacturing of chemicals for nuclear medicine applications, such as PET and SPECT, and is the primary producer of GMP Mannose Triflate, an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for producing FDG for PET. In addition, ABX is developing GMP precursor kits for new tracers, such as F-18 fluorothymidine (FLT), and offers a wide selection of research precursors, suitable for clinical trials, for new PET compounds under development, according to CIL.

![Overview of the study design. (A) The fully automated deep learning framework was developed to estimate body composition (BC) (defined as subcutaneous adipose tissue [SAT] in liters; visceral adipose tissue [VAT] in liters; skeletal muscle [SM] in liters; SM fat fraction [SMFF] as a percentage; and intramuscular adipose tissue [IMAT] in deciliters) from MRI. The fully automated framework comprised one model (model 1) to quantify different BC measures (SAT, VAT, SM, SMFF, and IMAT) as three-dimensional (3D) measures from whole-body MRI scans. The second model (model 2) was trained to identify standardized anatomic landmarks along the craniocaudal body axis (z coordinate field), which allowed for subdividing the whole-body measures into different subregions typically examined on clinical routine MRI scans (chest, abdomen, and pelvis). (B) BC was quantified from whole-body MRI in over 66,000 individuals from two large population-based cohort studies, the UK Biobank (UKB) (36,317 individuals) and the German National Cohort (NAKO) (30,291 individuals). Bar graphs show age distribution by sex and cohort. BMI = body mass index. (C) After the performance assessment of the fully automated framework, the change in BC measures, distributions, and profiles across age decades were investigated. Age-, sex-, and height-adjusted body composition reference curves were calculated and made publicly available in a web-based z-score calculator (https://circ-ml.github.io).](https://img.auntminnieeurope.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/body-comp.XgAjTfPj1W.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
