Abstract
The use of Auger emitters as potential radiopharmaceuticals is increasingly investigated. One such radionuclide of interest is (103m)Rh. This can be produced from (103)Ru or from (103)Pd in an in vivo generator. A potential problem with this concept is the recoil of the (103m)Rh out of the carrier molecule and even out of the target cell. In order to determine whether this would happen in the (103)Pd/(103m)Rh case calculations were done to prove that this does not happen. From theoretical considerations it seems that the (103)Pd/(103m)Rh in vivo generator system would be possible.Entities:
