What type of decay is copper 67?

Copper-67 (t1/2 = 2.58 days) decays by β− (\text{E}_{{pbeta^{-}\text{max}}}: 562 keV) and γ-rays (93 keV and 185 keV) rendering it with potential for both radionuclide therapy and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging.

How is copper 67 formed?

Millicurie quntities of copper 67 are produced by the reaction 68Zn(γ,p)67Cu following irradiation of natural zinc in the bremsstrahlung beam from a linear accelerator. The preparation has a half-life of 61·0±0·5 hr and a specific activity of 0·.

What is the isotope of copper?

Copper has two stable isotopes, 63Cu and 65Cu, with relative abundances of 69.15 % and 30.85 %, respectively. A transition metal, Cu is moderately siderophile and strongly chalcophile (around 2/3 of Earth’s Cu is thought to be stored in its core).

What is the use of copper-67?

About Copper-67 (Cu-67) Cu-67 is being investigated for therapeutic purposes across a wide range of adult and childhood cancers. Potential radiotherapeutic targets include prostate cancer, breast cancer, neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), neuroblastoma, glioma, lymphoma, ovarian and bladder cancers.

What is CU-67 used for?

Copper-67 is a radioisotope used for treatment in targeted radionuclide therapy. It is a beta emitter and has a half-life of 61 hours minutes. Cu is mainly used for the treatment of cancer such as prostate cancer, cervix cancer, neuroendocrine tumours and breast cancer.
