Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:72.21(Chemistry, Analytical)Both Cu and Cu are promising radionuclides in nuclear medicine. Production yields of these radionuclides were quantified by irradiating 55.4 g of natural zinc with accelerator neutrons. Clinically suitable Cu and Cu yields were estimated by experimental based numerical simulations using 100 g of enriched Zn and Zn, respectively, and elevated neutron fluxes from 40 MeV, 2 mA deuterons. A combined thermal- and resin-separation method was developed to isolate Cu and Cu from zinc, resulting in 73% separation efficiency and 97% zinc recovery. Such methods can provide large scale production of Cu and Cu for clinical applications.

Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:30.05(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Imaging of Tc radioisotope was conducted using an electron tracking-Compton camera (ETCC). Tc emits 204, 582, and 835 keV rays, and was produced in the Mo(p,n)Tc reaction with a Mo-enriched target. The recycling of the Mo-enriched molybdenum trioxide was investigated, and the recycled yield of Mo was achieved to be 70% - 90%. The images were obtained with each of the three rays. Results showed that the spatial resolution increases with increasing -ray energy, and suggested that the ETCC with high-energy -ray emitters such as Tc is useful for the medical imaging of deep tissue and organs in the human body.

Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:60.64(Chemistry, Analytical)As basic studies of bifunctional chelating agent for Lu-labeled antibodies, Lu complexation of DOTA and DTPA was investigated by the addition of competing metals, Ca(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II). From comparison of competing metals, the inhibition by competing metals on the Lu complexation was in the order of Ca(II) Fe(II) Zn(II) and Ca(II) Zn(II) Fe(II) as DOTA and DTPA, respectively. For comparison between DOTA and DTPA, the susceptibility to the inhibition on Lu complexation by all the three competing metals was DTPA DOTA. Therefore, it was found that DTPA is advantageous for Lu complexation compared with DOTA in the presence of Ca(II), Fe(II) and Zn(II), and that the elimination of Fe from Lu solution is especially effective because the Lu complexation of DTPA is highly inhibited by Fe(II).

Times Cited Count:6 Percentile:45.25(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Tc for medical use can be separated by thermochromatography from a molten MoO sample. Effect of moist oxygen gas on the Tc release from molten MoO samples was investigated using a Mo/Tc generator. Mo was produced with Mo(n,2n)Mo. A new phenomenon has been observed: release rate, separation- and recovery-efficiencies of Tc were higher in the moist oxygen gas than those in the dry oxygen gas. The present result is a significant progress towards the stable production of a high quality Tc from a molten MoO sample with high separation efficiency. The result would also give us a new insight into the interaction between the moist oxygen gas and the molten MoO.

From the view point of applying to laboratory exercise of radioactivity measurement by a Liquid Scintillation Counter (LSC), Vietnamese vodkas have specific features as measurement samples, for example, they are colorless, have high concentration of ethanol, and only very few organic materials are included. Investigation was made to make sure that the Vietnamese vodkas are appropriate or not as a measurement sample for the LSC exercise. Direct measurements of C without any chemical pre-treatment were made on both radioactive concentrations and specific activities of three kinds of Vietnamese vodka and also pure ethanol reagent. The LSC measurements reveal that estimated C concentration is proportional to ethanol concentration in samples and that specific activity of C shows good agreement among the Vietnamese vodkas and pure ethanol, as well as the reference value of 0.25 Bq/g of Carbon. Thus the conclusion is derived that the Vietnamese vodkas can be applied with high accuracy to the LSC exercise as measurement samples.
