4. About awarded research
Title:
Study of Ra-225 / Ac-225 production using an electron linac
Summary:
The radiopharmaceutical 225Ac-PSMA-617 is a treatment for prostate cancer using Ac-225, and is expected as a new treatment method.
In order to promote clinical research in Japan, I conducted a basic study of the Ac-225 manufacturing method using electronic linac.
When a Ra-226 target is irradiated with γ-rays, Ra-225 is produced by the 226Ra(γ,n)225Ra reaction.
Ac-225 can be obtained by natural decay from Ra-225. This time, the yield of Ac-225 and the heat of the
Ra-226 target during irradiation were calculated.
5. Your impression & future plan
Thanks to the great support of around me, I received an honorable award.
In the future, I will proceed with the Ac-225 producing experiment at ELPH.
