For 81Rb-81mKr solution generators, an extension set has been developed, which strips the 81mKr from the liquid eluate with a stream of air for use in lung ventilation studies. Via a three-way valve the 81Rb-81mKr solution generator can be operated alternately in the perfusion mode or in the ventilation mode. Measurements and calculations have been performed to get more insight into the parameters of interest for an optimum design of the extension set and its operation conditions.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007727	Krypton Radioisotopes	Unstable isotopes of krypton that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. Kr atoms with atomic weights 74-77, 79, 81, 85, and 87-94 are radioactive krypton isotopes.	Radioisotopes, Krypton
D011876	Radionuclide Generators	Separation systems containing a relatively long-lived parent radionuclide which produces a short-lived daughter in its decay scheme. The daughter can be periodically extracted (milked) by means of an appropriate eluting agent.
