Nükleer Tıpta Kullanılan Bakır Radyoizotoplarının Uyarma Fonksiyonlarının TALYS Kodu ile İncelenmesi

60,61,62,64,67Cu radyoizotopları, nükleer tıpta tanı veya terapi amaçlı olarak çeşitli uygulamalar için kullanılır. Bu radyoizotopların geniş yarı ömür spektrumu çeşitli radyofarmasötiklerin tasarımını ve sentezini sağlamaktadır. Kullanılabilirlik ve üretim maliyeti nedeniyle, bakır radyofarmasötiklerindeki araştırma çabaları, esas olarak, bu süreçte tasarlanan üretkenliğin olasılığını gösteren reaksiyon kesitlerinin hesaplanmasına odaklanmıştır. Bu çalışmada bakır radyoizotopların uyarma fonksiyonları, 50 MeV’e kadar parçacık gelme enerjisinde TALYS nükleer reaksiyon kodu kullanılarak reaksiyon tesir kesitlerinin teorik olarak hesaplanması ile araştırılmıştır.

Investigation of Excitation Functions of Copper Radioisotopes Used in Nuclear Medicine with TALYS Code

60,61,62,64,67Cu radioisotopes of copper are used for various applications in diagnostic or therapeutic nuclear medicine. These radioisotopes’ wide range of half-lives enable designing and synthesizing of various radiopharmaceuticals. Because of availability and cost of production, the research efforts in copper radiopharmaceuticals are focused on the calculations of reaction cross sections showing the possibility of the productivity in this process. In this paper, excitation functions of copper radioisotopes have been investigated through the theoretical calculation of reaction cross sections by using TALYS nuclear reaction code in the incident particle energy up to 50 MeV.
