Abstract: | The possibility of employing the isotope 96gTc as a gamma-ray emitter in medical diagnostics is examined. Corresponding calculations by the TALYS-1.9 revealed that an irradiation of a 96Mo target with protons of energy E =12 → 6 MeV at a current of 100 μA for six (eight) hours makes it possible to produce 20 (26) GBq of the isotope 96gTc. In detecting gamma rays of energy in the range between 770 and 850 keV, the intensity of gamma rays from 96gTc is close to their intensity for 99mTc obtained in the reaction 100Mo(p, n), so that one can use96gTc as an alternative gamma-ray emitter. |
