Cyclotron Production of Medical Radionuclides

Reference work entry

Introduction

Radionuclides find application in many fields. Their major use is, however, in medicine, both in diagnosis and therapy. The production of radionuclides is carried out using nuclear reactors as well as cyclotrons. The reactor produced radionuclides are generally neutron excess nuclides. They mostly decay by β− emission. The cyclotron produced radionuclides, on the other hand, are often neutron deficient and decay mainly by EC or β+ emission. They are especially suitable for diagnostic studies. The reactor production of radionuclides is described in  Chapter 1 of this Volume; this chapter treats the production with cyclotrons. It is worth pointing out that today more than 250 cyclotrons exist worldwide (cf. Directory of Cyclotrons, IAEA-DCRP/CD, 2002), many of them in hospitals, which produce short-lived radionuclides for medical use. Thus the radionuclide production science and technology at cyclotrons has become a very important feature of modern nuclear medicine.
