99m Tc pode ser produzido a partir de géis geradores de molibdato de zircônio contendo 99 Mo/ 99m Tc. Estes géis são parte da matriz geradora e suas características físicas e químicas influenciam diretamente o desempenho do gerador. Neste trabalho, géis molibdato de zircônio foram sintetizados sob diferentes condições e caracterizados por análise termogravimétrica, espectroscopia de infravermelho e análise por ativação neutrônica instrumental (INAA). Nosso objetivo foi investigar e correlacionar o desempenho do gerador com as propriedades físico-químicas do gel. Os dois fatores estudados foram o pH da solução de molibdato e as condições de preparação das soluções do sal de zircônio. Diversas espécies de polimolibdato e zircônio podem ser formadas em solução, as quais podem inibir ou favorecer a formação do gel molibdato de zircônio ou as fases rica em polimolibdato (insolúvel) e de oxi-hidróxido de zircônio. O desempenho do gel gerador 99 Mo/ 99m Tc está diretamente correlacionado com as estruturas do gel. Sistemas mais regulares apresentam desempenho gerador mais baixo se comparados com arranjos mais flexíveis e aleató-rios. As propriedades físico-químicas dos géis, bem como seu comportamento como gerador de tecnécio-99m são apresentados e discutidos. Tc zirconium molybdate gel generators. These gels are part of the generator matrix and their chemical and physical characteristics directly influence the generator performances. In this work zirconium molybdate gels were synthesized under different preparation conditions and characterized by TGA, IR and INAA. Our goal was to investigate and correlate generator performance with the physical-chemical properties of the gel. The two factors studied were the molybdate solution pH and the preparation conditions of the zirconyl salt solutions. Several polymolybdate and zirconium species can be formed in solution which can inhibit or favor the zirconium molybdate gel formation or the insoluble polymolybdate-rich and zirconium oxy-hydroxide phases. The 99 Mo/ 99m Tc gel generator performance is directly correlated with gel structures. More regular network gels present lower generator performances compared to gels with more flexible random framework. The physico-chemical properties of the gels as well as their behavior as technetium-99m generators are presented and discussed.
149 Pm, 166 Ho, 161 Tb and 177 Lu conjugated to chemical agents (monoclonal antibodies, polypeptide, etc.) have the appropriate decay characteristics for imaging and therapeutic studies and consequently the potential to be useful in radiotherapy and diagnosis. These carrier-free radioisotopes can be produced by neutron irradiation of a lanthanide target followed by β − decay, and a posterior radiochemical separation of the daughter radionuclide from macro-amounts of the parent target. In order to produce carrier free 149 Pm, 161 Tb, 166 Ho and 177 Lu for radiotherapy, with a radionuclide purity of more than 99.9%, a device production was developed based on separation of Nd/Pm, Gb/Tb, Dy/Ho and Yb/Lu by extraction chromatography.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
