[en] The increasing use of radio-labeled pharmaceuticals in medicine has generated the need for radioisotope availability on a routine commercial basis. Cyclotrons are commonly used to produce short-lived positron-emitting isotopes. A growing number of small cyclotrons have been installed in hospitals. The materials produced in cyclotrons are used in PET (Positron Emitting Tomography) studies as research tools for observing physiological mechanisms and diagnostic procedures for numerous medical problems. Due to the short half-lives of positron-emitting isotopes, they must be produced as rapidly as possible and be available in the required quantity. Sometimes, due to problems in the cyclotron operation, the production run fails. Physicians and patients expect the radioisotopes to be available at a particular time. A failed run, in addition to delaying or even canceling the scheduled medical examination, is also extremely costly. Hence the need for automated control sensors to monitor the expensive production process arises. The need is even greater in PET commercial, production and distribution centers, and in high energy cyclotron centers that produce and distribute isotopes for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), since numerous hospital clinics and patients rely on the prompt availability of the radiopharmaceuticals. Our goal was to develop an optimum radiation detection system to be used as a diagnostic tool for startup, maintenance and operational needs of the cyclotron facility
