Abstract
National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST), formerly known as the National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS), has been engaged in work on radiopharmaceutical science using cyclotrons since 1974. Eight pioneering researchers founded the basis of this field of research at NIRS, and to the present, many researchers and technicians have accumulated both scientific and technical achievements, as well as inherited the spirit of research. Besides, in recent years, we have developed production systems with AVF-930 cyclotron for various ‘non-standard’ radioisotopes applied in both diagnosis and therapy. Here, we review the past 50 years of our activities on radioisotope and radiopharmaceutical development, as well as more recent activities.
Acknowledgements
The authors are grateful to the past and present members of the Department of Advanced Nuclear Medicine, as well as to all who have supported our activities over our half-century-long history. All our achievements are due to the excellent beams provided by the AVF-930 and HM-18 under the operation of our trusted cyclotron crews.
