摘要：
Research in extending medical isotopes for the diagnosis and treatment of numerous health maladies is hampered by outages and upsets in major supply sources. Investigations in cures for brain cancer (211At), HIV/AIDS virus (213Bi), and even bacterial vectors are either in reduced progress mode or have been cancelled until isotopes become available. Examples of several key radioactive medical isotopes include 99mTc for diagnostics, 131I for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and thyroid cancer, 225Ac for acute myelogenous leukemia, and 67Cu for lymphoma cancer. Possibilities for developing commercially viable sources using compact accelerators and next generation research and production reactors are discussed.
