My local Team member that maintained cyclotrons retired. Since I already work in Nuclear Medicine and PET, I was asked to take on those duties.
Been too many years since my chemistry classes.
I was looking through some material and I'd like to take an online Basic Chemistry course to refresh my base.
And a brief explanation of a cyclotron from wiki...
"Cyclotrons can be used in particle therapy to treat cancer. Ion beams from cyclotrons can be used, as in proton therapy, to penetrate the body and kill tumors by radiation damage, while minimizing damage to healthy tissue along their path. Cyclotron beams can be used to bombard other atoms to produce short-lived positron-emitting isotopes suitable for PET imaging. More recently some cyclotrons currently installed at hospitals for radio isotopes production have been retrofitted to enable them to produce technetium-99m.[21] Technetium-99m is a diagnostic isotope in short supply due to difficulties at Canada's Chalk River facility."
