摘要:
The invention relates to a method of loading a mother radionuclide into a radionuclide generator which comprises an cation exchange material, the said method comprising a preliminary step which consists in passing over said material a solution containing the mother radionuclide and a complexing agent for said radionuclide, said complexing agent being at an effective concentration so as to prevent the mother radionuclide from concentrating solely in one part of the volume of the cation exchange material, the cation exchange material being chosen in the group consisting of the macroporous resins and the resins having a crosslinking rate of from 1 to 12%. This method is applied to radioisotope generators which emit α particles and are used in particular in the field of radiotherapy.
摘要:
A method for producing Ac-225 is presented, wherein Ac-225 is produced by bombardment of Ra-226 with deuterons accelerated in a cyclotron. The deuterons preferably have an incident energy of between 15 and 22 MeV. The method, which allows production of Ac-225 at high yields and purity levels, is particularly interesting in view of Bi-213 generation.
