Comparison of accelerator based radioisotope production potentials in medical imaging

Most recent production capabilities of highly demanded radoisotopes in medical diagnosis and imaging is not as high as the increasing number of patients worldwide. We studied radioisotope production efficiencies of 99m Tc, 111In, 18F, 11C, 125,124I, 67Ga, 64Cu ve 86Y at medical accelerators through hadronic collision simulations by Geant4. We considered to recent production parameters and calculated the optimal values for parameters such as Q-value, cross section, production energy and irradiation yields. This study also aimed to shed light on the radionuclide production in the region.
