Feasibility study on production of No Carrier Added 711Lu by Electo-Amalmagation separation in Tehran Research Reactor

نوع فایل:PDF تعداد صفحات :13 سال انتشار : 1394 چکیده Owing to its favorable radionuclidic characteristics, such as tl/2 = 1.54 day and Eβ(max) = 195keV and ease of its large-scale production using medium flux research reactors, 555Lu is an attractive radionuclide for various therapeutic applications. The low-energy β- emitter 555Lu has been already successfully used in targeted radionuclide therapy and due to its physical and radiochemical properties is ideal for the treatment of metastatic cancers. Through successful applications in endoradiotherapy and brachytherapy the demand for 555Lu is growing worldwide. In this study 555Lu with >99.99 radionuclide purity and an overall separation yield of 819 was obtained by thermal neutron...
