Abstract

Diagnostics field is facilitated with advancements enacted in anatomic imaging (cross-sectional modalities). Radionuclide scans (imaging) escorted by 67Ga are extensively beneficial in bone scintigraphy and recognition of prosthetic joint failure. Present work comprises the data concerning 67Ga production via α-particle induced nuclear reactions, TTY (thick target yield) and impurity analysis. Experimental measurements regarding 67Ga production are analyzed through a comparative study performed with calculations of theoretical model codes (TALYS-1.95, EMPIRE-3.2.3 and ALICE-IPPE). A data set of recommended cross-sections was generated and utilized to deduce TTY. The contribution of radionuclidic impurities is canvassed to suggest an energy region to produce impurity free 67Ga for medical applications.
