Separation of nuclear isomers for cancer therapeutic radionuclides based on nuclear decay after-effects

177Lu has sprung as a promising radionuclide for targeted therapy. The low soft tissue penetration of its β− emission results in very efficient energy deposition in small-size tumours. Because of this, 177Lu is used in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumours and is also clinically approved for prostate cancer therapy. In this work, we report a...

Radionuclide generator having first and second atoms of a first element

The invention is in the field of a radionuclide generator. A radionuclide is an atom with an unstable nucleus, which is a nucleus characterized by excess energy available to be imparted either to a newly created radiation particle within the nucleus or to an atomic electron. Radionuclide generators contain a parent isotope that decays to produce...

Trendwatcher or trendsetter: 50 years of MTAA

The development on neutron activation analysis (NAA) into a technique of practical interest effectively started about 60 years ago, when nuclear reactors became available and widely accessible as intense sources of neutrons. During 50 out these 60 years, the series of Modern Trends in Activation Analysis (MTAA) Conferences acted as a true...
