Despite the long and successful patient care history of primary care in Sweden, a research-oriented attitude has been more or less limited in this context [2,3]. At the same time the patient ́s access to information has been simplified which in turn has contributed to an essential influence on the patients' demand for upto-date healthcare. This situation has increased the demand for staff ́s updated professional scientific knowledge and willingness to change significantly. One way to promote this situation goes through a research and development interest (R&D) in the context, by means of strategic communication, which is a relatively new interdisciplinary field.","PeriodicalId":93126,"journal":{"name":"Medical research and innovations","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67500496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addition to diagnosis, cancer treatment is also available in nuclear medicine; however, the therapy can be separated two section as internal and external therapy. For instance, Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) [5] that is a type of 3-D conformal radiation therapy [6] is an external therapy device. On the other hand, brachytherapy that is fairly important method can be called as internal therapy. In the literature, a lot of devices and methods to use medical radioisotopes in nuclear medicine are available in the literature. Common point of ones is definitely radioisotopes used in diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and these radioisotopes are produced by either nuclear reactors or particle accelerators via neutron reactions like (n,γ) or charged particle induced reaction processes e.g. proton, deuteron and alpha particles. Some of the famous radioisotopes produced in nuclear reactors may give Mo-99, P-32, Cu-64, Y-90 radioisotopes. Furthermore, medical radioisotopes produced by the charged particle induced reactions are commonly used in PET and SPECT. Such a production is carried out particle accelerators with energy ranges 1-50 MeV such as O-15, F-18, Ga-68 etc. But, for production of Ac-225 that is therapeutic purpose particle accelerators with higher energy are necessary [7]. Therefore, the production method of radioisotopes used in nuclear medicine can change kind of nuclei based on their half-lives and type of emission. For an application of the production of medical radioisotopes, we investigated the production of Kr-42 and Mn-51 radioisotopes via deuteron and neutron induced reaction processes. Materials and method The productions of K-42 and Mn-51 radioisotopes used for medical aims were carried out by neutron and deuteron induced reaction in energy region between 1 MeV and 30 MeV incident energy. Therefore, we used 45Sc(n,α)42K and 50Cr(d,n)51Mn reactions where the purities of the target materials are above 99% and each target is uniform [5,7,8]. The cross-section calculations were performed two component exciton models via TALYS 1.9 code [9] and the level","PeriodicalId":93126,"journal":{"name":"Medical research and innovations","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67499618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
