Abstract
Gallium-67 is a cyclotron produced radionuclide and 67Ga-citrate complex scans are performed in a variety of applications in Nuclear Medicine. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new method for the chemical separation of 67Ga from Zn targets. The method has 2 steps, first the thermal diffusion of 67Ga with concentrated acetic acid and then purification by cation exchange in ammonium medium. The final 67Ga solution was obtained in 0.1 mol Lâ1 HCl with the desirable high purity.
