At the Research Center for Accelerator and Radioisotope Science (RARiS), Tohoku University, we operate and maintain an electron linear accelerator (LINAC) and an AVF cyclotron, selecting between these accelerators according to the production purpose and the nuclide of interest. Through our joint-use program as a shared user facility, we carry out routine production and supply of radioisotopes...
Currently, a framework is required to examine the production method of a target nuclide while considering various boundary conditions based on nuclear reaction calculation codes and evaluated nuclear data libraries. To address this, we have developed a framework based on CCONE [1, 2], which had not been previously established. This framework enables the easy investigation of reactions that...
The use of radioactive isotopes (RIs) in medicine enables both the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, referred to as nuclear medicine imaging and nuclear medicine therapy, respectively. For example, drugs labeled with RIs can be administered to visualize or destroy cancer cells that selectively accumulate the compound. The physical and chemical properties required for RIs differ between...
