Production and Application of Radionuclides

Verbal

This work is focused on production of Lu-177g for uses in metabolic radiotherapy of tumors, due to the appropriate average beta- energy and gamma rays suitable for detection by gamma-camera and SPET: t1/2 = 6.734 d, b- 100 %, Ebeta-max = 489.3 keV, <E> = 163 keV, main Eg = 113 and 208 keV. It is one of the most promising beta- emitters for small cancers. The production methods are either...

Production and Application of Radionuclides

Verbal

The station for pions cancer therapy was operated at PSI from 1980 to 1992. For this period the copper beam dump of the facility received a total dose of approx. 0.16 Ah of 590 MeV protons. The sampling collected about 500 g of high active copper chips that can be used for separation of exotic radionuclides. The γ analyses showed main nuclides present to be ⁶⁰Co, ⁵⁴Mn,...

9. Optimisation of the long lived ¹²¹Te contaminant in production of ¹²³I trough the ¹²⁴Xe(p,x) route

Production and Application of Radionuclides

Verbal

At present the preferred route for ¹²³I (T_1/2 = 13.2 h) production is bombardment of highly enriched ¹²⁴Xe with 35 MeV protons and taking advantage of the cascade decay ¹²³Cs-¹²³Xe-¹²³I. After irradiation the gas targets are allowed to cool for 7 h ensuring optimal in-growth of ¹²³I from its precursors. A separation...

17. Radiochemical measurement of cross sections for the production of the therapeutic radionuclide ^193mPt

Production and Application of Radionuclides

Verbal

The radionuclide ^193mPt (T_1/2 = 4.33 d), a high spin isomer, decaying by highly converted isomeric transition, emits about 33 Auger electrons per decay. It is of great potential interest in internal radiotherapy because of its suitable decay properties and platinum-complexes (like cis-platin and others) used in chemotherapy, i.e., potent antitumor agents. In order to...
