  • Radioisotope target assembly
    Patent number: 9686851
    Abstract: A target assembly to produce radioisotopes for the synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals. The target assembly includes a target vessel with a target chamber adapted to receive a target material. A thin cover sheet of particle-permeable material covers the target chamber. In a bombardment process, a high-energy particle beam generated by a cyclotron or particle accelerator strikes the thin cover sheet, whereby at least some of the particles from the particle beam penetrate to the target chamber so as to interact with the target material, altering the nuclear makeup of some of the atoms in the target material to produce radioisotopes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 20, 2017
    Assignee: ABT Molecular Imaging Inc.
    Inventors: Ronald Nutt, David Patton, Sr., Darrell Swicegood, John McCracken, Mark Haig Khachaturian
