Answer 6

cyclotron

Question 7

parent of Tc-99m

Answer 7

Mo-99

Question 8

Answer 8

Mercury

Question 9

In-111 produced by:

Answer 9

cyclotron

Question 10

Ga-67 produced by:

Answer 10

cyclotron

Question 11

elements produced in a cyclotron are ______rich

Answer 11

elements produced in a cyclotron are proton rich –> these elements favor beta + decay and electron capture

Question 12

isotopes that decay via electron capture

Answer 12

mnemonic: Cowboy says “GIIT over here” when trying to capture his horse: Gallium-67, Indium-111, Iodine-123, Thallium-201

These are also the isotopes produced via cyclotron

Question 13

I-131 produced by

Answer 13

generator

Question 14

how does a generator system work (very general terms)?

Answer 14

long lived parent decays into another shorter lived daughter element that can be chemically separated

Question 15

Once eluted, a 99Mo-99mTc generator will reach 95% max activity in what time frame?

Answer 15

24 hours

about 4 half lives of Tc-99m

Question 16

Isotopes produced by fission

Answer 16

Mo-99m, I-131, Xe-133

Question 17

Particulate combardment with charged particles

Answer 17

cyclotrons, produces isotopes that are neutron deficient

Question 18

Yttrium-90 is produced by

Answer 18

decay product of Strontium, which is a daughter isotope from the fission of uranium in a nuclear reactor
