AbstractAbstract
[en] Fe-52 (t 1/2 = 8.275 h) is the only radioisotope of iron with decay properties suitable for imaging applications (100% 169-keV and 112% annihilation gammas). It can also be used in a Fe-52/Mn-52m generator system as a source of Mn-52m (t 1/2 = 21.1m) which is a short-lived positron emitter (192.54% annihilation gammas). Clinically useful quantities of Fe-52 have been prepared at the Brookhaven Linac Isotope Producer (BLIP) by bombarding manganese or nickel targets with medium-energy protons. After chemical separation, Fe-52 is loaded onto a generator column from which carrier-free Mn-52m is eluted. The Mn-52m generator is potentially useful in positron emission computed tomography
