Large-Scale Isotope Production System for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging

Summary: Joseph P. Lidestri, Ph.D..

Technology Benefits: Increases rate and production of radioisotopes with a single accelerator.Can be used with commercially available high-current particle proton acceleratorsStandard target geometry and target chambers can be used. Relatively simple design and can be easily implemented for radioisotope production to satisfy in-house as well as industrial requirements.Patent information:Patent PendingTech Ventures Reference: IR 1413

Technology Application: Large-scale production of 18-F radioisotope for PET imaging.Large-scale production of other radioisotopes with a high-current particle beam of similar energy such as 15O from 14N or 15N.
