Nuclear excitation functions for medical isotope production: targeted radionuclide therapy via natIr(d,x)193mPt
193mPt is an Auger emitting radionuclide which may have therapeutic potential, particularly when labeled to the chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin. One challenge to broader explorations of its clinical potential is the need for production routes with high specific activity. As part of a larger campaign to address gaps in reaction data for emerging medical radionuclides, this work seeks to characterize the natIr(d,x) reactions as a potential production pathway for 193mPt. A stacked target irradiati…
