  • METHOD FOR DIRECT PRODUCTION OF 99mTc - TECHNETIUM 99 METASTABLE FROM LOW ENERGY ACCELERATORS
    Publication number: 20110002431
    Abstract: Target, computer software and method for direct production of 99mTc using small energy accelerators. The method includes positioning a target holder to be bombarded with a beam of protons, the target holder having a target that includes a first hard core layer, a second hard core layer, a third layer of highly enriched 100Mo and a substrate, distributed in this order; bombarding the target with the beam of protons, wherein the protons have an energy between 10 and 35 MeV and a current between 20 and 500 ?A; and terminating the bombarding with the beam of protons after a time interval between half an hour and 8 hours.
