Description
PET isotopes like 11C and 18F may be produced in deuteron-induced reactions using linear deuteron accelerators for energies 2-2.5 MeV. It is shown that the yield of PET isotopes in reactions 10B(d,n)11C and 20Ne(d,a)18F may be higher than the yield of the same isotopes in proton-induced reactions at higher energies, where protons are accelerated by a cyclotron. The lower cost and smaller size of linear accelerators make deuteron-induced reactions very promising for industrial PET production
