Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Radiochemistry
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • The (100)Mo(p,2n)(99m)Tc reaction is a proposed alternative for addressing technetium-99m (99mTc) shortages.
  • This production method yields various radioactive and stable isotopes alongside (99m)Tc, complicating optimization and dose estimation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design a graphical user interface (GUI) to automate complex calculations for cyclotron-produced (99m)Tc.
  • To facilitate reaction parameter optimization, experimental data analysis, and patient dosimetry predictions.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a MATLAB-based GUI named Cyclotron production Yields and Dosimetry (CYD).
  • The GUI integrates modules for reaction yield calculations, gamma emission predictions, and dosimetry estimations.
  • User input of reaction parameters is required for automated calculations.

Main Results:

  • The CYD GUI efficiently calculates product yields and analyzes gamma spectroscopy data.
  • It enables prediction of production yields and estimation of patient radiation doses for specific cyclotron runs.
  • Initial experiences confirm the GUI's utility in streamlining yield calculations and data analysis.

Conclusions:

  • The CYD GUI significantly enhances the efficiency of calculating production yields and analyzing experimental data for cyclotron-produced (99m)Tc.
  • Its primary clinical advantage lies in predicting production yields and estimating patient radiation doses, crucial for radiotracer development and application.
