Device for the Endogenous Production od Radioisotopes, Particularly for PET

Device for the endogenous production of radioisotopes, particularly for PET, characterized as comprising: a vacuum chamber, whose inner surface be treated totally or partially to resist ion implantation, a pair of electrodes placed inside said vacuum chamber, a capacitor bank, means to connect said capacitor bank to said electrodes to generate between the latter an electrical discharge, thus generating a plasma and creating conditions for the unfolding of nuclear reactions that generate isotopes, an overall inductance of the equivalent electric circuit of such device not exceeding 50 nH, means attached to said vacuum chamber for the creation of a vacuum not higher than 10-6 torr, means attached to said vacuum chamber for the insertion, after creating the vacuum, of at least one reaction gas at a pressure apt to guarantee creation of the plasma during discharge and subsequent obtention of confinement conditions of such plasma, and means attached to said vacuum chamber for the extraction of gas and is storage into a gas chromatographic cylinder.
