Update on Cyclotron Production Studies of No-carrier- Added: Copper-64, Astatine-211/polonium-211g, Rhenium-186g
نویسندگان
چکیده
Selected results are presented and discussed concerning nuclear data relevant to the production of innovative medical radionuclides (RNs) of special interest, measurements of excitation functions of the involved nuclear reactions, in comparison with the corresponding theoretical calculations. Moreover, at the Radiochemistry Laboratory of Accelerators and Applied Superconductivity Laboratory, LASA, several high specific activity radionuclides in no-carrier-added form (NCA) have been radiochemically processed by selective methods and submitted to quality control/assurance tests, for both fundamental research and medical applications.

Targetry for cyclotron production of no-carrier-added cadmium-109 from natAg(p,n)109Cd reaction
Background: Solid targets that consist of powder and electrodeposited targets are used commonly to produce radionuclides by accelerators. Since silver is easily electrodeposited in cyanide baths and has a very excellent thermal conductivity, the electrodeposited target is preferable to produce 109Cd. To avoid cracking or peeling of the target during bombardment, it should have a level surface a...
متن کاملEXCITATION FUNCTIONS AND YIELDS FOR Re-186g PRODUCTION BY PROTON CYCLOTRON IRRADIATION
Excitation functions, thinand thick-target yields for the Re radionuclides were measured by the activation method on natural tungsten foils for proton energies up to 17 MeV. A new data set has been given for the investigated radionuclides. These results are compared both with the experimental literature values and the ones calculated by the EMPIRE II code (version 2.19). In particular, the atte...
متن کاملAutomated astatination of biomolecules – a stepping stone towards multicenter clinical trials
To facilitate multicentre clinical studies on targeted alpha therapy, it is necessary to develop an automated, on-site procedure for conjugating rare, short-lived, alpha-emitting radionuclides to biomolecules. Astatine-211 is one of the few alpha-emitting nuclides with appropriate chemical and physical properties for use in targeted therapies for cancer. Due to the very short range of the emitt...
متن کاملIs There an Interest to Use Deuteron Beams to Produce Non-Conventional Radionuclides?
With the recent interest on the theranostic approach, there has been a renewed interest for alternative radionuclides in nuclear medicine. They can be produced using common production routes, i.e., using protons accelerated by biomedical cyclotrons or neutrons produced in research reactors. However, in some cases, it can be more valuable to use deuterons as projectiles. In the case of Cu-64, sm...

The radioisotope 67Ga (T 1/2 = 78 h) in extensively used as single photon marker for detecting the presence of malignancy and the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases. The high tumor specificity of carrier-free 67Ga make it one of the most interesting radionuclides in nuclear medicine for in vivo scanning studies. 67Ga is a cyclotron produced radioisotopes and is one of the radiopharmaceuti...
