Fast electrons accelerate the production of medical isotopes

Physics World

This achievement paves the way for alternative radioisotope production methods using electron accelerators that do not require enriched uranium and produce little nuclear waste. Technetium-99m ( 99m Tc) is a metastable radionuclide that emits gamma radiation which can be detected in the body by a medical gamma camera.

PRISMAP consortium to fast-track nuclear medicine research

Physics World

The particular use of a medical radionuclide depends on its physical characteristics, such as its radioactive half-life and the type of radiation it emits. bn by 2028. However, higher energy machines are needed to produce novel radionuclides that are currently not available. Some estimates predict that this market will grow to $13.8
