OSTI ID:5989873
The Australian Atomic Energy Commission (AAEC) produces and distributes commercially in Australia and abroad a range of radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals for medical applications. The AAEC carries out research and development on new and improved processes and products in collaboration with medical specialists in hospitals and research workers in other organizations. Examples of these processes and products are: a gel generator for production of /sup 99m/Tc; radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis of tumors and brain disease and therapy for arthritis; /sup 64/Cu for study of copper metabolism; and monoclonal antibodies for tumor diagnosis and therapy. New medical applications in Australia of neutron irradiation include the measurement of total body nitrogen and neutron capture in boron-labelled compounds in vivo for melanoma therapy.
