Production of 15O for medical applications

This thesis examines and compares nuclear reactions suitable for the production of the oxygen-15 isotope. Oxygen-15 is widely utilized in medical applications, but its short half-life (t₁/₂ = 122.24 s) requires on-site production in hospitals or nearby facilities. While its rapid decay presents lo...
