Abstract
Research on the use of photonuclear reactions in the production of isotopes for nuclear medicine is reviewed. The review includes the analysis of distinctive features of isotope production in electron accelerators and assessment of the possibility of such production. The review also presents the results of experimental studies on the production of short-lived 18F, 47Sc, and 67Cu radioisotopes with significantly high total activities in a split microtron with the electron energy of ~55MeV and the separation of 18F and 67Cu with high specific activities from the targets.
