CP42 Originally situated at MD Anderson
in Houston Texas, the CP42 was moved to its current location
by Carroll-Ramsey in 1998. This cyclotron is presently
dedicated to routine I-123 on dual beam lines.
Cyclotron 42
Beam Characteristics
•
Negative ion machine (H-) continuous
beam
•
Proton energy: 11MeV to 42MeV
•
The CP42 cyclotron was produced
by TCC (The Cyclotron Corporation).
CS30 Having acquired two CS30 cyclotrons
from Mt. Sinai Medical (Miami) and Mallinckrodt they
are now in storage awaiting a "field strip" and upgrade.
Carroll-Ramsey will commence work on the upgrade starting
in Q3 of 2006 whereby the current positive ion - internal
target configuration will be altered to an external
- negative ion source. This will allow greater reliability
and an increased output. The current plan calls for
these cyclotrons to produce I-123 and Tl-201, however
having four possible beam sources (H, H-2, He-3, He-4),
a variety of isotopes can be successfully produced.
The CS30s will be located in
Denton approximately three miles from the Linac site
and will be situated within the same site as our other
cyclotron CP42.
Once the site upgrade is complete,
the CS30s and the CP42 will utilize the dedicated product
hot cells for the production of Tl-201 and I-123.
Cyclotron 30 Beam Characteristics
•
Negative ion machine
(H-) continuous beam
•
Proton energy: Approximately
28MeV
•
The CP30 cyclotron
was produced by TCC (The Cyclotron Corporation).
