Preparation of Ga/Ni Solid Target for Cyclotron-produced 68Ge by Electrodeposition

摘要

68Ga is mainly used for preparation of the 68Ge-68Ga generator and the calibration of Positron Emission Computed Tomography.The low melting point of the target material in the production reaction69Ga(p,2n)68Ge has limited the availability of 68Ga.In order to use the existing industrial cyclotron hardware to produce 68Ga,a method of electrodepositing gallium-nickel alloy was set up in this study.
