The global network of cyclotrons has expanded rapidly over the last decade. The bulk of its
industrial potential is composed of small medical cyclotrons with a proton energy below 20 …

Medical radionuclide production technology is well established. There is, however, a
constant need for further development of radionuclides. The present efforts are mainly …

This work describes the production of two clinically relevant metal radioisotopes 6 4 Cu and
6 8 Ga with a medical cyclotron by the irradiation of liquid targets. New results are presented …

In molecular imaging, the importance of novel longer lived positron emitters, also termed as
non-standard or innovative PET radionuclides, has been constantly increasing, especially …

Abstract The IAEA Nuclear Data Section has coordinated several actions to setup and
improve a database for recommended cross sections and nuclear decay data for various …

Copper radioisotopes are gaining increasing significance for medical use in recent years for
both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. To answer the growing clinical demand, fast …

In this article, production methods and applications of copper radionuclides are overviewed
with special attention toward 61Cu, due to its interesting nuclear properties. Selection of …

Abstract The radionuclide 64Cu (T 1/2= 12.7 h) is an important non-standard positron
emitter, suitable for combining PET imaging and targeted therapy. Its production in no-carrier …

Cross-sections of the 66Zn (p, 2pn) 64Cu and 68Zn (p, x) 64Cu nuclear processes were
measured on highly enriched zinc targets using the stacked-foil activation technique up to …

α-particle-induced nuclear reactions for generation of 211At used in therapeutic nuclear
medicine and possible contaminants were investigated with the stacked foil activation …
