Cyclotron production of high purity 44m,44Sc with deuterons from 44CaCO3 targets

The quality of the final batch with regard to radionucleidic purity, specific activity and metal impurities allowed a right away use for further radiopharmaceutical evaluation. This radionucleidic pair of 44mSc/44Sc offers a quite interesting PET radionuclide for being further evaluated as an in-vivo generator.
