Abstract Positron-emission-tomography (PET) has become an indispensable diagnostic tool
in modern nuclear medicine. Its outstanding molecular imaging features allow repetitive …

Several radionuclides of the transition metal manganese are known and accessible. Three
of them, 51Mn, 52mMn, and 52gMn, are positron emitters that are potentially interesting for …

This work focused on the production and purification of the positron emitter 52 Mn (t 1/2= 5.6
d) via the nat Cr (p, n) 52 Mn reaction, using a TR24 cyclotron and a semi-automated system …

Excitation function of the 54 Fe (p, α) 51 Mn reaction was measured from 9.5 to 18 MeV E 0,
p+ by activating a foil stack of 54 Fe electrodeposited on copper substrates. Residual …

Abstract 52Mn is a promising PET radiometal with a half-life of 5.6 days and an average
positron energy of 242 keV. Typically, chromium of natural isotope abundance is used as a …

With advancement in antibody engineering, the development and characterization of new
cancer-specific molecular targets are in the forefront of this PET-antibody combination …

Over the last several years, positron emission tomography (PET) has matured as an
indispensable component of cancer diagnostics. Owing to the large variability observed …

The bisoxine hexadentate chelating ligand, H3glyox was investigated for its affinity for Mn2+,
Cu2+ and Lu3+ ions; all three metal ions are relevant with applications in nuclear medicine …

We report an extraction chromatography-based method via Actinide Resin for the isolation of
radio-manganese from both natural chromium and isotopically enriched iron targets for …

Radiometals have unique decay properties and half-lives. In order to harness their valuable
properties for use in medicine, we need chelators to tightly bind them and transport them to …
