¹⁰⁰Mo compounds as accelerator targets for production of ^99mTc

摘要

Methods of synthesizing 100Mo2C and 99mTcO4− are disclosed. Methods of 100Mo2C generation involve thermally carburizing 100MoO3. Methods of 99mTcO4 generation involve proton bombardment of 100Mo2C in a cyclotron. Yields of 99mTcO4 can be increased by sintering 100Mo2C prior to bombardment. The methods also include recycling of 100Mo2C to form 100MoO3. SPECT images obtained using 99mTcO4 generated by the disclosed methods are also presented.
