Science Research Laboratory in Massachusetts for the production of Nitrogen-13,
Oxygen-15, and Fluorine-18 for PET [58]. Today, AccSys Technologie proposes a
linear proton accelerator for PET isotope productions. This RFQ accelerates protons
to 3 MeV with a current of 150 μA. The energy can be upgraded to 10.5 MeV
coupling the RFQ to a Drift Tube Linac (DTL). The system is suitable for supplying
PET radioisotopes to a single diagnostic centre.
