“…[1][2][3][4][5] Plasma focus devices have been widely used, in the past for manifold applications like x-rays and electron beams lithography, 6 radiography of biological specimens, 7 and as a rich ion source for various material science applications. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] We consider the use of plasma focus devices with sufficient ion energy to produce a number of short lived radioisotopes (SLR) such as 13 N, 17 F, 18 F, 15 O, and 11 C through either external solid (exogenous method) [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] or high atomic number gas (endogenous method) [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] targets. These short lived radioisotopes are positron emitter used for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.…”

“…Short-lived radioisotopes (SLR) such as 11 C, 13 N, 15 O, 18 F usually have medical applications, particularly in positron emission tomography (PET). These radioisotopes are obtained through bombarding appropriate targets by ion beams produced in accelerators.…”

“…Roshan et al [6] have carried out their experiments on a plasma focus device NX2. They placed the target graphite ( ) 15 15 0.7 × × to a distance of 100 mm in front of deuteron beam within NX2 device so that the solid angle between deuterons and target graphite was 1.26 sr O = . The activity reported by Roshan et al within NX2 device with repetition rate of 1 Hz after 30 seconds of graphite bombardment was equal to 5.2 kBq [6].…”
