Production of medical radionuclides in the Center for Radiopharmaceutical Tumor Research – a status report

A new Center for Radiopharmaceutical Cancer Research was established at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf in order to centralize radionuclide production, radiopharmaceutical production and the chemical and biochemical research facilities in 2017. A routine production of several radionuclides was established during the last years. We report about the production methods of metallic and standard PET radionuclides like 11C, 18F, 123I, 64Cu, 67Cu, 67Ga, 131Ba and 131La that are done regularly. In the conclusion we report typical irradiation parameters and achieved saturation yields.
