computer simulation techniques to design xenon-124 solid target for iodine-123 production
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: iodine-123 (123i) is regarded as one of the best radionuclides for in vivo medical studies using single-photon emission computed tomography (spect) due to its suitable physical property. materials and methods: to design a new system in order to replace cryogenically solidified xenon target by the gas one, some necessary calculations are needed to be done such as finding the excitation functions variation of the production reactions, thick target yield of 123i production, etc. the computer codes alice91 and srim have been used as a calculation tools. results: according to the suggested design, a conical shaped irradiation vessel made of copper with thickness of 1mm, outlet diameter of 1 cm, 5 cm length and 12° angle at summit can be fixed inside a liquid nitrogen housing chamber. the 124xe gas was sent to the inside of this very cold conical trap and eventually deposited on its surface in solid form. calculation showed that during bombardment with 17- 28 mev proton energy, the thickness of solidified xenon layer remained about 0.28 mm. conclusion: the production yield of 123i can be predicted to be around 150 mci/µah.

متن کاملComputer Simulation Techniques for Acoustical Design of Rooms
After decades of development room acoustical computer models have matured. Hybrid methods combine the best features from image source models and ray tracing methods and have lead to significantly reduced calculation times. Due to the wave nature of sound it has been necessary to simulate scattering effects in the models. Today's room acoustical computer models have several advantages compared t...
متن کاملCritical CerebralBlood Flow Thresholds Studied by SPECT Using Xenon-133 and Iodine-123 lodoamphetamine
activity and blood flow was first observed during carotid endarterectomy by electroencephalogram (EEG) mon itoring and xenon-133 (†̃33Xe) intracarotid injection techniques. These studies have demonstrated a thresh old of 17—18ml/100 g/min for EEG flattening (1—4). Since then many experimental studies on focal ischemia have developed a concept of―ischemicflow thresholds― (5—8). In exp...

ABSTRACTBackground: Design of the production system for Iodine-123 has begun recently in nuclear research centre of agricultural and medicine (NRCAM). The production system consists of pipes for xenon gas transfer, equipped with 10 valves, 3 heaters, fluid nitrogen and 2 vacuum pumps. In the first prototype the function of elements was being done manually by an operator. Because dispensing rad...
