Description

Radioisotope generators provide a desirable alternative to cyclotrons for the production of short lived positron emitters. A fully automated microprocessor controlled generator system for obtaining 76 sec rubidium-82 is described in detail. Column adsorbants, specifications and eluent solutions are discussed in determining generator performance for yield, breakthrough, and stability for long term use. Some examples of clinical applications in positron emission tomography are presented
