Method of producing radionuclides

The invention relates to a method of producing radionuclides. According to the method, a target medium comprising at least a target nuclide material is irradiated in an irradiation zone with neutron irradiation. Radionuclides form in the target nuclide material as a result of the irradiation, and at least some of the formed radionuclides are...

Metal-ion Speciation in Blood Plasma as a Tool in Predicting the "in vivo" Behaviour of Potential Bone-Seeking Radiopharmaceuticals

In a quest for more effective radiopharmaceuticals for palliation of pain experienced by metastatic bone cancer patients, results obtained with the therapeutic radionuclides 153 SM, 166 Ho and 117mSn complexed to bone-seeking phopsphate ligands are related. As phosphonates are known to enhance the remodelling of bone and to have the ability to...
