Title:     Production of medical radionuclides at TRIUMF: current status and future perspectives.

Abstract: TRIUMF provides unique infrastructure for production of medical radionuclides with protons for imaging and therapy. Low energy cyclotron (TR-13) is a working horse of Life Sciences Division, which is used for the production of well-established imaging radionuclides e.g. 18F and 11C, as well as several imaging radiometals including but not limited to 68Ga,44Sc, 86Y and 89Zr and a few therapeutic radionuclides e.g. 119Sb. Additionally, TR-13 Life Sciences Division actively utilizes several other TRIUMF infrastructure, including ISAC (production of 209/211At and 225Ra/225Ac), Isotopes Production Facility (IPF) for spallation reaction on thorium target for production of several emerging therapeutic radionuclides (e.g. 225Ac). Current status of utilization of these facilities will be presented as well as potential future production capabilities, including ARIEL proton and electron beamlines and upcoming Institute for Advanced Medical Isotopes (IAMI).
