摘要：

Mount Sinai operates a TCC (Cyclotron Corporation) CS-30 cyclotron capable of accelerating protons to 26.5 MeV. The machine was installed in 1972 and since that time it has been used for radiopharmaceutical research and development for nuclear medicine, for routine radiopharmaceutical deliveries, and for commercial sales of radiochemicals. The emphasis in each of these areas has changed over the years as a result of numerous factors. Various aspects of the production of Ga-67 will be used to illustrate how a commercial operation fits into the daily schedule and controls to a large extent the goals of the facility. Recently, in order to maximize output, we have investigated the production of several radionuclides that are produced simultaneously with Ga-67 from the same target. Some of these are Cu-64, Cu-67, and Zn-62 (Cu-62), all of which are useful in radiopharmaceutical R&D and have commercial potential.
