14 MeV Neutrons for 99Mo/99mTc Production: Experiments, Simulations and Perspectives

14 MeV Neutrons for 99Mo/99mTc Production: Experiments, Simulations and Perspectives

Background: the gamma-emitting radionuclide Technetium-99m (99mTc) is still the workhorse of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) as it is used worldwide for the diagnosis of a variety of phatological conditions. 99mTc is obtained from 99Mo/99mTc generators as pertechnetate ion, which...
