PROFILE |

North American Scientific, Inc. (NASI) makes radioactive seeds for brachytherapy, a treatment involving implanting radioactive material in cancer patients to target tumors. The company's IoGold and PdGold products use isotopes of iodine and palladium, respectively, to mainly treat early stages of prostate cancer; NASI markets the products worldwide through a deal with Mentor. The company also makes sealed radioactive devices that federal agencies, laboratories, hospitals, and nuclear utilities use to test and calibrate radiological equipment. Through its purchase of development-stage firm Theseus Imaging, NASI is developing Apomate, a product that detects cell death in heart attack victims.
