Cyclotron production of 43Sc and 44gSc from enriched 42CaO, 43CaO, and 44CaO targets

Cyclotron production of 43Sc and 44gSc from enriched 42CaO, 43CaO, and 44CaO targets

Introduction:43Sc and 44gSc are both positron-emitting radioisotopes of scandium with suitable half-lives and favorable positron energies for clinical positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Irradiation of isotopically enriched calcium targets has higher cross sections compared to titanium targe...
