Summary
Copper-67 ( 67 Cu) is one of the most promising theranostic radionuclides having both diagnostic (gamma) and therapeutic (β− ) emission. In addition, 67Cu can be paired with the positron-emitters copper-64 and copper-61 to perform PET imaging prior to therapy. In the context of cyclotron-based production of Cu-radioisotopes, zinc is one of the materials used as a target. The CUPRUM-TTD (67/64CU PRoduction and Use in Medicine – Target Technology) project at INFN-LNL aims to develop the entire technological cycle for the production of 67Cu, starting from the proton irradiation of 70ZnO material in a medical cyclotron.
