A New NIST Primary Standardization of 18F

February 1, 2014
Author(s)
Ryan P. Fitzgerald, Brian E. Zimmerman, Denis E. Bergeron, Jeffrey T. Cessna, Leticia S. Pibida, Denise S. Moreira
A new primary standardization of 18F by NIST is reported. The standard is based on live-timed beta- gamma anticoincidence counting with confirmatory measurements by three other methods: (i) liquid scintillation (LS) counting using CIEMAT/NIST 3H efficiency

Results of an international comparison for the activity measurement of 177Lu

March 6, 2012
Author(s)
Brian E. Zimmerman, Denis E. Bergeron, Jeffrey T. Cessna
An international Key Comparison of 177Lu has recently been carried out. Twelve laboratories performed assays for radioactivity content on aliquots of a common master solution of 177Lu, leading to eleven results submitted for entry into the Key Comparison

Development of secondary standards for radium-223

November 5, 2009
Author(s)
Denis E. Bergeron, Brian E. Zimmerman, Jeffrey T. Cessna
223Ra is a bone-seeking alpha emitter, and as such is currently being evaluated as a radiopharmaceutical for the treatment of skeletal metastases. In the clinical setting, dosage measurements are typically achieved with reentrant ionization chambers

Standardization of 68Ge/68Ga using three liquid scintillation counting-based methods

October 31, 2008
Author(s)
Brian E. Zimmerman, Jeffrey T. Cessna, Ryan P. Fitzgerald
A solution containing 68Ge in equilibrium with its daughter, 68Ga, has been standardized for the first time at the National Institute of Standards and Technology using 3 liquid scintillation- based techniques: live-timed 4pb-g anticoincidence (LTAC)
