[Radiochemical purity of 123I for medical use (author's transl)]. 1977

T Abural, and Y Homma, and Y Murakami

123I for use in clinical diagnostic procedures has been produced by bombarding antimony with 40 MeV 3He particles. The purity of 123I was measured with a Ge(Li)spectrometer and a low energy Ge(Li) detector. The 123I-product was followed for 1.5 months with a well-type NaI scintillation counter to establish the half-life and confirm the identity of the nuclides. In order to minimize the yield of 121I the optimum cooling time and chemical procedures are presented. After 20 h cooling, the 121I, 124I and 125I contaminants were about 1.8, 4.3 and 0.04% respectively. These values were in agreement with those calculated from the thick-target yield curves. The calculated absorbed dose to the thyroid by the 123I and by-product nuclides were only 4.3 and 7.3% of 131I. 123I could be measured at the window of 99mTc of a NaI scintillation camera and a curie-meter with an error of 10%.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007457 Iodine Radioisotopes Unstable isotopes of iodine that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. I atoms with atomic weights 117-139, except I 127, are radioactive iodine isotopes. Radioisotopes, Iodine
D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).

D013052 Spectrometry, X-Ray Emission The spectrometric analysis of fluorescent X-RAYS, i.e. X-rays emitted after bombarding matter with high energy particles such as PROTONS; ELECTRONS; or higher energy X-rays. Identification of ELEMENTS by this technique is based on the specific type of X-rays that are emitted which are characteristic of the specific elements in the material being analyzed. The characteristic X-rays are distinguished and/or quantified by either wavelength dispersive or energy dispersive methods.
