“…The data for the nat Cd(a,x) 117m Sn reaction [76] are slightly higher than those by Qaim and Döhler [71]. However, if the data of Qaim and Döhler [71] for the peak around 45 MeV, which is of prime interest in the J Radioanal Nucl Chem production of 117m Sn, are normalised to 100 % 116 Cd enrichment (instead of 7.5 % in nat Cd), the resulting cross section values of about 1,200 mb are comparable to those reported by Adam Rebeles et al [77] as well as by Montgomery and Porile [72]. Based on the data by Qaim and Döhler [71], which cover the full energy range of the peak, the energy region for the production of 117m Sn via the 116 Cd(a,3n)-reaction is therefore suggested as E a = 60 ?…”

Radionuclides are used in medicine both for diagnosis and therapy. The radioactive decay data play a key role in the choice of a radionuclide for a certain application. The nuclear reaction data, on the other hand, allow to optimise the production route of a chosen radionuclide. The status of nuclear data of the commonly used diagnostic and therapeutic radionuclides is reviewed and the recent efforts to standardise those data are described. The expected specific activity of the cyclotron produced 99m Tc is briefly discussed. The present efforts are devoted to development of non-standard positron emitters (e.g. 64 Cu, 86 Y, etc.) and low-range highly-ionising therapeutic radionuclides (e.g. 67 Cu, 225 Ac, etc.). The need of intermediate-energy multiple-particle accelerating cyclotrons is pointed out.

“…In two more recent measurements under Brussels/ Debrecen cooperation the reactions nat Cd(a,x) 117m Sn, 114 Cd(a,n) 117m Sn and 116 Cd(a,3n) 117m Sn were investigated up to 39 MeV [76,77]. The data for the nat Cd(a,x) 117m Sn reaction [76] are slightly higher than those by Qaim and Döhler [71].…”

The Theoretical Production of In Isotopes by Insertion of Alpha Particles into Cd Nucleus

Knowledge of the cross sections of reactions of charged particles with target material is needed to understand well the mechanisms of nuclear reactions. One of the main application fields of nuclear technology and nuclear reactions is medicine. Radioisotopes are used in medicine and production of these radioisotopes is important. In the production processes, the cross sections must be known. For this purpose, in this study, theoretical cross sections of production of In isotopes by alpha irradiation have been calculated using Talys 1.6 nuclear reaction simulation code. The obtained results are compared with the existing experimental data.

Abstract.A brief overview of nuclear data required for medical applications is given. The major emphasis is on radionuclides for internal applications, both for diagnosis and therapy. The status of the presently available data is discussed and some of the emerging needs are outlined. Most of the needs are associated with the development of non-standard positron emitters and novel therapeutic radionuclides. Some new developments in application of radionuclides, e.g. theranostic approach, multimode imaging, radionanoparticles, etc. are described and the related nuclear data needs are discussed. The possible use of newer irradiation technologies for medical radionuclide production, e.g. intermediate energy charged-particle accelerators, high-power electron accelerators for photon production, and spallation neutron sources, will place heavy demands on nuclear data.
