Comparative Study with 89Y-foil and 89Y-pressed Targets for the Production of 89Zr †

Zirconium-89 (89Zr, t1/2 = 3.27 days) owns great potential in nuclear medicine, being extensively used in the labelling of antibodies and nanoparticules. 89Zr can be produced by cyclotron via an 89Y(p,n)89Zr reaction while using an 89Y-foil target. In this study, we investigated for the first time t...
