Summary
This work investigates molecular extraction combined with mass separation as a strategy to enable reliable production of radioisotopically pure terbium isotopes (Tb-149, Tb-152, Tb-155) for nuclear medicine applications. Online and offline studies at CERN-ISOLDE facilities explored terbium fluoride extraction using FEBIAD ion source and CF4 injection, clarifying the factors that limit terbium release from irradiated tantalum targets. The results demonstrate the feasibility of extracting terbium in molecular form, providing insights into how production can be scaled up at future facilities to meet clinical demands for theragnostic applications.
