The feasibility of 99mTc production with the 22-MeV-proton bombardment of a 100Mo target in medical cyclotrons was demonstrated in 1971. The recent shortages of 99mTc reignited the interest in the production of "instant" 99mTc by proton bombardment of isotopically enriched 100Mo targets (>99.5%) following the reaction 100Mo(p,2n)99mTc. Canada is commissioning such cyclotrons, designed by Advanced Cyclotron Systems, for 99mTc production at the University of Alberta and the Université de Sherbrooke, and is planning others at the University of British Columbia, TRIUMF, University of Saskatchewan and Lakehead University.
