We propose the development of a Cyclotron Isotope Production Center with enhanced features that may be used for Biomedical Physics research as part of the Legnaro INFN Laboratories. The cyclotron accelerator should feature a “biomedical” beam-line providing 70 MeV protons with a current of several hundreds of micro-amperes. This document will review the employment of innovative radionuclides in medicine and the features that a new cyclotron should have to produce them. We will also specify equipment and procedures for “targetry”, irradiation, radiochemical processing, and labeling, which a production center should have. Quality control and radioprotection issues will also be addressed.

Abstract
We propose the development of a Cyclotron Isotope Production Center with enhanced features that may be used for Biomedical Physics research as part of the Legnaro INFN Laboratories. The cyclotron accelerator should feature a “biomedical” beam-line providing 70 MeV protons with a current of several hundreds of micro-amperes. This document will review the employment of innovative radionuclides in medicine and the features that a new cyclotron should have to produce them. We will also specify equipment and procedures for “targetry”, irradiation, radiochemical processing, and labeling, which a production center should have. Quality control and radioprotection issues will also be addressed.Pubblicazioni consigliate
