Abstract: | The production of iodine-124 and the formulation of specific radiopharmaceuticals are an important component of the Positron Emission Tomography Program at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center; Preparation of iodine-124 using the CS-15 cyclotron employing the (p, n) nuclear reaction on an enriched (TeO2)-Te-124 solid target has been initiated. The radioiodine is isolated by a dry distillation technique from the target matrix. The mass and oxidation states of iodine species isolated from the processing were analyzed using high pressure liquid chromatography. Employing a C-8 reverse-phase column (1) and isocratic elution conditions;the chemical purity and specific activity of the various radioiodine species: was determined. The method provides a routine means for evaluation of the purity of the radioiodide prior to and post radiolabeling essential for the efficient utilization and recovery of this important radionuclide. |
