Improved small scale production of iodine-124 for radiolabeling and clinical applications.

Aim: This work describes a small-scale production of iodine-124 using a 16.5 MeV cyclotron, and a subsequent validation of the formulated sodium [124I]iodide solution for routinely clinical applications.

Methods: Iodine-124 (I) was produced via the Te(p, n)I reaction using a 16.
