For safe and reliable operation of commercial radioisotope production medical cyclotrons the implementation of preventative maintenance at regular intervals becomes mandatory. During the long-term operation of a medical cyclotron, numerous (radio) activated zones at various locations of the cyclotron facility producing high levels of gamma radiation are created. These radioactive zones are caus...

  Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms including carcinoids, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, pituitary tumors, medullary thyroid carcinoma and phaeochromocytomas. The symptoms and the outcome of NETs differ considerably between patients depending on several factors. By labelling tracers with a radioisotope, the tracer acts as a ...
