Abstract
In Nuclear Medicine, radionuclides are used in the detection and the treatment for cancers and others diseases. We must obtain, for therapeutic purposes, solutions of radionuclides in the required chemical form, with an high specific activity (As). To reach our goal we must, first, obtain no-carrier-added (NCA) solutions. In this work we present different methods for the production of NCA radionuclides, based on either wct-chemistry, or the me and radio-chromatography. We set up four different methods: two for the preparation of the alpha emitter 211At, and two for the beta emitters 186gRa and 90Y. These radionuclides had been chosen because of their chemical and nuclear properties as their half-life, type, abundance and energy of emissions, that make them among the most promising radionuclides to label compounds for the mctabolic radionuclide therapy.
