Production of carbon-11 for PET preclinical imaging using a high-repetition rate laser-driven proton source

2024-03-07

Abstract excerpt

Most advanced medical imaging techniques, such as positron-emission tomography (PET), require tracers that are produced in conventional particle accelerators. This paper focuses on the evaluation of a potential alternative technology based onlaser-driven ion acceleration for the production of radioisotopes for PET imaging. We report for the first time the use of ahigh-repetition rate, ultra-intense laser system fo...
