摘要：
The radionuclide Pd-103 (T-1/2 = 16.991 d; decays almost exclusively by EC to Rh-103m, T-1/2 = 56.114 min) has been of great interest in prostate and eye cancer therapy due to its suitable half-life and decay characteristics. Pd-103 has been produced by proton irradiation of a Rh-103 target through the Rh-103(p,n)Pd-103 reaction. In this paper, the Monte Carlo simulation code (MCNPX) was used to calculate the energy distribution of the proton flux on the Rh target. The activity based on the MCNPX was calculated to be 674.58 mCi. Good agreement between the theoretical and the experimental data of the Pd-103 activity and the activity estimation based on MCNPX calculation was observed. This study demonstrated that MCNPX provides a suitable tool for the simulation of radionuclide production using proton irradiation. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
