    Abstract

    Samarium-153 is a promising radionuclide for targeted radionuclide therapy (TRNT) because of its highly favorable decay characteristics. 153Sm has a half-life of 1.93 days and emits Beta- particles (705 keV, 635 keV) which are suitable for therapy. 153Sm also emits Y photons (103 keV) with characteristics that allow SPECT imaging, making 153Sm a high-potential theranostic radioisotope.
    The full potential of 153Sm is currently not being exploited because of the limited specific activity available as a result of its carrier-added production route (152Sm(n,Y)153Sm). In our previous work, we tried to remedy this by applying mass separation after the neutron activation to produce 153Sm with a much higher specific activity [1]. In this study, we use high specific activity (HSA) samarium-153 for the radiolabeling of the somatostatin analogue DOTA-TATE. This study
    reports the radiolabeling and early biological evaluation of [153Sm] Sm-DOTA-TATE.
