Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Molecular targeting with radioisotopes: application of laser-driven isotopic production” by Dana Niculae, PhD.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about molecular targeting with radioisotopes, is a technique that is used in nuclear medicine to diagnose and treat various diseases, such as cancer. This technique involves the use of radioactive isotopes that are specifically targeted to the site of the disease, such as cancer cells. Once the radioactive isotope is at the site of the disease, it emits radiation that can destroy or shrink the cancer cells.

One method of producing these radioactive isotopes is through laser-driven isotopic production. This process involves using high-intensity lasers to produce short-lived isotopes that can be used for molecular targeting.

The laser-driven isotopic production process starts with a high-intensity laser that is focused on a target material, such as a thin foil. The laser heats the target material to an extremely high temperature, causing it to ionize and form a plasma. As the plasma cools, short-lived isotopes are produced through nuclear reactions.

These short-lived isotopes can then be extracted from the plasma and used for molecular targeting. One advantage of this method is that it can produce isotopes with a very short half-life, which means that they decay quickly and produce less radiation in the body. This reduces the risk of damage to healthy tissues surrounding the site of the disease.

In summary, laser-driven isotopic production is a promising technique for producing short-lived isotopes that can be used for molecular targeting in nuclear medicine. With further research and development, this technique may become a valuable tool in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.

Statistics - radioisotopes in nuclear medicine Over 10,000 hospitals worldwide use radioisotopes in medicine, and about 90% of the procedures are for diagnosis. The most common radioisotope used in diagnosis is Tc-99m, accounting for about 80% of all nuclear medicine procedures Over 40 million nuclear medicine procedures are performed each year, and demand for radioisotopes is increasing at up to 5% annually. In developed countries (26% of world population) the frequency of diagnostic nuclear medicine is 1.9% per year. In the USA there are over 20 million nuclear medicine procedures per year among 311 million people, and in Europe about 10 million among 500 million people. The global radioisotope market was valued at $4.8 billion in 2012, with medical radioisotopes accounting for about 80% of this, and is poised to reach about $8 billion by 2017. North America is the dominant market for diagnostic radioisotopes with close to half of the market share, while Europe accounts for about 20%. (World Nuclear Association, http://www.world-nuclear.org updated September 2016) The number of requests by both patients and doctors for state-of-the-art nuclear medical imaging procedures has increased seven fold in the last 25 years Computed X-ray tomography (CT) scans and nuclear medicine contribute 36% of the total radiation exposure and 75% of the medical exposure to the US population, average total yearly radiation exposure had increased from 3.6 mSv to 6.2 mSv per year since the early 1980s due to medical-related procedures.

The Sc/Ti separation schemes were established.

Alike 47Sc, 67Cu has a sufficiently long half-life for accumulation in the tumor cells when bound to antibodies and its 185 keV gamma-ray allows imaging with SPECT or gamma cameras. The usual production routes 68Zn(p,2p), 70Zn(p,α), or 64Ni(α,p), are all characterized by low yields. The former requires energetic protons (>30 MeV from larger cyclotrons) and the latter two methods use expensive enriched targets with low natural abundances, of the order of 0.5%. Production via 68Zn(γ,p) reactions, more abundant and hence cheaper 68Zn targets could be used.

Conclusions Are there “ideal” radioisotopes for imaging/therapy (physical, chemical and biological properties)? What emerging radioisotopes can improve in any of these views? What are the limitations for both “traditional” and “emerging” radioisotopes in term of production routes, availability, processing, to access into clinical practice? Can radioisotopes address functionality / early diagnosis / personalized medicine ? October 2016 Nuclear Photonics 35 / 26 D. Niculae, seminar at UCIrvine October 2016 35
