Cyclotron Production of Iodine-124

摘要

The current state of methods of production of radionuclide I-124 for nuclear medicine is analyzed. The review is focused on finding methods for enhancement of cyclotron production of the I-124 radionuclide. The influence of the chosen nuclear reactions, the irradiation conditions, the target material, and the methods of manufacturing and cooling of the irradiated targets on the radionuclide yield is considered.
