Iodine-123 assay using a radionuclide calibrator.

P Paras, D R Hamilton, C Evans

    International Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Biology
    |January 1, 1983

    Summary

    Radionuclidic impurities in Iodine-123 (123I) preparations cause significant assay errors in radionuclide dose calibrators. The (p, 2n) production method leads to overestimations, unlike the (p, 5n) method which remains accurate.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Radiochemistry
    • Medical Physics

    Background:

    • Iodine-123 (123I) is a crucial radionuclide in medical imaging.
    • Accurate radioactivity measurement using radionuclide dose calibrators is vital for radiopharmaceutical efficacy and patient safety.
    • Radionuclidic impurities can compromise the accuracy of these measurements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of radionuclidic impurities in commercial Iodine-123 (123I) preparations on assay accuracy.
    • To evaluate the performance of radionuclide dose calibrators with different 123I production methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of 24 radionuclide calibrators assessing 123I samples.
    • Analysis of 123I assay errors attributed to impurities from different production pathways: 127I (p,5n) and 124Te (p, 2n).

    Main Results:

    • Assay errors exceeding 10% were observed due to radionuclidic impurities.
    • 123I produced via the (p, 2n) method showed an average overestimation of 22% two half-lives post-calibration.
    • 123I produced via the (p, 5n) method remained within the calibrator's +/- 5% accuracy limit.
    • The 124I impurity fraction increased over time in (p, 2n) produced 123I, exacerbating assay errors.

    Conclusions:

    • Radionuclidic impurities significantly affect 123I assay accuracy, particularly for the (p, 2n) production route.
    • The (p, 5n) production method yields 123I with minimal assay errors.
    • Careful consideration of 123I production methods and impurity profiles is essential for reliable radiopharmaceutical quality control.
