Preliminary studies in these patients have given very encouraging results. For this application high specific activity <sup>117m</sup>Sn is required to minimize the quantity of administered DTPA. Using a tetraphenyltin target we have investigated solvent extraction and ion exchange techniques to enrich the radioactive atom concentration. Other variables studied include the effect of neutron flux, total neutron fluence and sample mass. The enrichment factor was comparable for both solvent extraction and ion exchange techniques, but solvent extraction was more convenient. For 1 h irradiations the enrichment factor averaged ∼ 70 but declined to ∼ 2 after 24 h irradiation due to accumulated radiation damage. The enrichment factor also declined with increasing neutron energy. An isotope effect on the Szilard-Chalmers process was observed as the enrichment factor for <sup>113</sup>Sn was consistently higher than for <sup>117m</sup>Sn.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14288,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Radiation Applications and Instrumentation.
