[ 1 ] - CALCULATION OF CROSS SECTION AND PRODUCTION YIELD OF RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL PRASEODYMIUM-139 THROUGH 140CE(P, 2N)139PR REACTION USING GEANT4 AND TALYS NUCLEAR CODES

Background & Aim: PET is a very useful and suitable imaging method in nuclear medicine. This method uses positrons with a special energy for imaging. The elements of the lanthanide are suitable for the decay of positrons with a specific energy for use in PET. Praseodymium-139 with a half-life of 4.5 hours is one of the useful elements in the group of lanthanides that can be used in PET. In this...
