What is Zinc 68 (Zn 68) ?
Zinc-68 (Zn-68) is a stable isotope of zinc primarily used in the production of the medical isotope Gallium-68 (Ga-68). Ga-68 is a crucial component in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, particularly for diagnosing neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer. Zn-68 is also utilized in research related to nuclear reactions, neutron activation, and radiopharmaceutical production optimization.
