| Popis: | The article considers the production of radionuclides in nuclear reactors and proton accelerators for three main generators, 99Mo/ 99mTc, 82Sr/ 82Rb and 68Ge/ 68Ga, and shows the advantages of using radionuclide generators for production of radiopharmaceuticals. Germanium-68 is manufactured using cyclotrons with an energy of 23-30 MeV. Linear proton accelerators or cyclotrons with an energy of 70-160 MeV are used for production of Rubidium-82. |
