A new approach to targetry and cyclotron production of 45Ti by proton irradiation of 45Sc

Titanium-45 with a half-life of 3.09 hours decays by emission of positrons (85%) and the electron capture process (15%). These properties make this radionuclide useful in the diagnosis of tumors by positron emission tomography. In this study, after having considered the excitation functions...
