Background. Positron emission tomography offers advantages for radioimmunodiagnosis of
cancer but requires radionuclides of appropriate half‐life that have high specific activity and …

Copper-64 has found many applications in positron emission tomography (PET). Its half-life
allows to use it for dosimetric studies associated to copper-67 targeted radiotherapy in …

Clinical utilisation of positron emission tomography could be enhanced by the availability of
shortlived radionuclides derived from generator systems. The zinc-62/copper-62 …

Introduction Copper-64 is an attractive radionuclide for positron emission tomography and is
emerging as a radiotherapeutic agent. The demand of 64 Cu with low metallic impurities has …

64Cu is a useful radiotracer for positron emission tomography (PET) and a promising
radiotherapy agent for the treatment of cancer. Recently, 64Cu-labeled …

Abnormalities of zinc homeostasis are indicated in many human diseases. A noninvasive
imaging method for monitoring zinc in the body would be useful to understand zinc …

Cu-67 has been produced since 1985 at the Brookhaven Linac Isotope Producer (BLIP) by
irradiation of natural Zn targets with 200 MeV protons. Since the electrodeposition method …

Ion exchange is a simple and efficient method for separating no-carrier-added 64 Cu from
an irradiated Ni target. We developed a semi-automated two-round 64 Cu separation system …

Copper-64 (T 1 2= 12.7 h) is an intermediate-lived positron-emitting radionuclide that is a
useful radiotracer for positron emission tomography (PET) as well as a promising …

Background 64Cu (T1/2= 12.7 h) is an important radionuclide for diagnostic purposes and
used for positron emission tomography (PET). A previous method utilized at Paul Scherrer …
