Production and characterization of no-carrier-added 161Tb as an alternative to the clinically-applied 177Lu for radionuclide therapy

In this study, it was shown that ¹⁶¹Tb can be produced in high activities using different irradiation facilities. The developed method for ¹⁶¹Tb separation from the target material yielded ¹⁶¹TbCl₃ in quality suitable for high-specific radiolabeling, relevant for future clinical application.
