nuclear medicine, radiopharmaceuticals are used for diagnosis or treatment
purposes. Radiopharmaceuticals containing radionuclide in their structure are
produced by reactors, generators or cyclotrons and are generally used for scintigraphy
or tomographic investigations. The produced radionuclides can be given to the
human body together with organic or inorganic substances.  In this study, 
the production reaction cross sections were calculated for two selected
radiopharmaceutical nuclei ( <sup>99 </sup>Tc and <sup>115 </sup>In) using the </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">semi-empirical cross section formula for the ( </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;">n, α </span>) reactions </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">developed by Tel et al.

The density depending on (n, α) reaction cross sections were also investigated with

calculations were observed lower values than that of experimental values.  </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Süleyman Demirel University}
