External Cyclotron Targetry System for the Effective Loading of Precious Gases
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Cyclotron Facil ity at Mount Sinai Medical Center is involved in a program of radionuclide production culminating with the preparation of short-l ived radiopharmaceutical agents requested for cl inical evaluation. The increas ing cl inical "in-house" demand for short-lived, positronemitting radiopharmaceutical compounds has necessitated an efficient production schedule requiring unique modifications to conventional external targets. One such project utilizes a low cost, minimal volume, air piston to effectively load enriched nitrogen-IS labelled nitrogen gas. The target yields oxygen-IS labelled oxygen from the

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 کاملConstruction and Operation of Cyclotrons for Medical Isotopes
Modern high intensity commercial cyclotron systems are continuously being improved to achieve higher beam power, reliability and ease of operation. Other factors playing a part in the ongoing development of commercial cyclotrons include the need for lower radiation dose to personnel, flexibility of operation (multiple beams, variable energy), and the desire to minimize the routine maintenance r...
متن کاملPalladium Loaded on Magnetic Nanoparticles as Efficient and Recyclable Catalyst for the Suzuki- Miyaura Reaction
Palladium is the best metal catalyst for Suzuki cross coupling reaction for synthesize of unsymmetrical biaryl compounds. But its high cost limits its application in wide scale. Using of nanoscale particles as active catalytic cites is a good approach for reducing needed noble metal. By loading precious nanoparticles on magnetic nanocores as a support, recycling and reusing of catalyst will be ...
متن کاملEffect of Abutment Connection Type and Cyclic Loading on Removal Torque Value
Background and Aim: Maintaining the primary torque of the abutment screw is a common problem related to implant-supported restorations; a failure in this respect often leads to screw loosening. The abutment screw plays a critical role in the long-term stability of restorations. This study aimed to assess the effect of two abutment connection types with and without cyclic loading on removal torq...
متن کاملProduction, formulation, quality control and primary biological studies of [18F]KF for skeletal PET scanning [Persian]
[18F]KF, considered as a reference standard for positron emission tomography of the skeletal system, was produced by the bombardment of enriched water ([18O]H2O>95%) with high energy protons in NRCAM cyclotron. After the extraction of fluoride from enriched water as KF, and passing it through microbial filter and fine adjustment of acidity and osmolality, it was converted into an injectab...
