摘要:
Systems, methods, and devices for generating radionuclides for use in production of radiopharmaceuticals; synthesizing the radionuclides generated and removing any unwanted products; measuring the quantity and activity level of the synthesized radionuclides; distributively delivering the radionuclides in appropriate quantities to modular cassette synthesis units in a modular cassette subsystem for contemporaneous/parallel production of radiopharmaceutical output and that allow reuse and/or quick, safe, and disposable replacement of portions of the subsystem; delivering non-radionuclide components to the modular cassette synthesis units as part of production of radiopharmaceutical output; measuring the quantity and activity level of each stream of radiopharmaceutical output; purifying the radiopharmaceutical output; dispensing individual doses in sterile vial(s); automatically producing labeling and dose related information; performing automated quality control on extracted samples of produced radiopharmaceutical output; and providing software and hardware controls for overall and sub-portion operation for optional remote data collection, communication, and/or control.
摘要:
A method is provided for producing first and second radioactive isotopes using an accelerated particle beam that is directed to a first material and the first radioactive isotope is produced by a first nuclear reaction based on the interaction of the particle beam with the first material, said particle beam is also slowed down and subsequently directed to a second material, and the second radioactive isotope is produced by a second nuclear reaction based on the interaction of the particle beam with the second material. The effective cross-section for the induction of the first nuclear reaction at a first peak for a first particle energy is higher than an effective cross-section for the induction of the second nuclear reaction at a second peak for a second particle energy. A corresponding device includes an acceleration unit, a first exposure target having the first material and a second exposure target having the second material.

Isotope production system including a particle accelerator configured to produce a particle beam. The isotope production system also includes a target apparatus having a window configured to receive a particle beam and also separate production and condensing chambers. The production chamber is configured to contain a starting liquid and located so that the particle beam is incident upon the starting liquid thereby generating radioisotopes and transforming a portion of the starting liquid into vapor. The target apparatus also includes a fluid channel that extends between and fluidly couples the production and condensing chambers. The fluid channel is configured to allow the vapor to flow from the production chamber into the condensing chamber. The condensing chamber is configured to transform the vapor in the condensing chamber into a condensed liquid.

摘要:
A dense plasma focus (DPF) to produce positron emitters is provided, where a pulsed device has an anode and a cathode arranged in a vacuum chamber, the anode and cathode being subjected to a high voltage. When the vacuum chamber is filled with a reaction gas and a high voltage generated is applied, a plasma sheath is created and a reaction between the electrodes take place to produce plasmoids resulting in an ion beam that interacts with a reactive gas to produce radio-isotopes.
