Front
What are the ideal characteristics and the common production methods for therapeutic radionuclides?
Back
The radionuclides should present a half-life between 6h up to 7 days to balance the therapeutic efficacy with the patient's safety.
alpha and beta particles present a high ionizing and short range distance, avoiding exposure to surrounding tissue

Some of the common production methods are:
177-Lu -> nuclear reactor
67-Cu -> cyclotron
225-Ac -> generator (229-Th -> 225Ac)
