65. Investigating the production of medical imaging radioisotopes using laser-accelerated protons.

Mr Juan Peñas

25/07/2022, 09:30

The development of novel medical imaging techniques like PET (Positron Emission Tomography) or SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography) has led to the increase in the demand of nuclear radioisotopes for medical diagnostics. At present, radioisotope production for medical imaging and treatment is principally done at conventional accelerators (cyclotrons) and dedicated nuclear...

67. Determination of positron emission probability in the decay of 86Y

Dr M. S. Uddin (Institut für Neurowissenschaften und Medizin, INM-5:Nuklearchemie, Forschungszentrum Jülich, D-52425 Jülich, Germany; Tandem Accelerator Facilities, INST, Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh), Dr Shamsuzzoh Basunia (Nuclear Science Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720, USA)

In nuclear medicine, the positron emitting $^{86}$Y (14.7 h) is an emerging imaging isotope for use in combination with the $\beta$$^-$ emitting therapeutic radionuclide $^{90}$Y (2.7 d), the pair being commonly called as a matched theranostic pair [1]. To produce the radionuclide $^{86}$Y via the $^{86}$Sr(p,n) reaction in a pure form, 96.4% enriched thin $^{86}$SrCO$_3$ targets were...

69. Measurement of the 176Yb(n,γ) cross-section and its application to nuclear medicine

Mr Francisco García-Infantes (Universidad de Granada, Granada, Spain; European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva, Switzerland)

25/07/2022, 10:18

Nuclear medicine has proven to be a much needed medical specialty in order to diagnose and treat several diseases, among them, cardiovascular diseases and cancer, the first and the second causes of mortality worldwide, respectively [1]. Several international agencies recommend to study of new routes and new facilities for producing radioisotopes with application to nuclear medicine as a...

70. (WITHDRAWN) A theoretical assessment of cross section data for some charged particle induced reactions with relevance to the production of medically promising 110 mIn and 193mPt

Dr Muhammad Naveed Aslam (COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore, Pakistan)

The recent advancements in the field of nuclear medicine can be fairly attributed to the efficient methods for the production of the promising radionuclides in sufficient amounts with high purity. This work covers the theoretical aspects related to production of two potentially useful radionuclides; 110mIn (T½ = 69.1 min) and 193mPt (T½ = 4.33 d). Analysis of the excitation functions is...

66. (WITHDRAWN) Study of the production of radioisotopes at IFMIF-DONES for Auger electron therapy.

Ms María Elena López Melero (Departamento de Física Atómica, Molecular y Nuclear. Universidad de Granada, Spain)

An important part of medical applications of ionizing radiation are included in nuclear medicine. This is based on the use of radioisotopes as radiation sources and allows the both medical diagnostic and treatment of the main diseases with the greatest social impact, such as cancer, cardiovascular problem and brain diseases [1]. The two main challenges to improve and develop new therapies...
