JSW´s Baby Cyclotron

Designed by The Japan Steel Works, Ltd., specially for installation in a hospital\´s medical department and nuclear research laboratory, " JSW BABY CYCLOTRON " has been developed to produce short-lived radioisotopes such as 11C, 13N, 15O and 18F. JSW\´s Baby Cyclotron has some design features. 1) Fixed energy and four sector azimuthally varying field. 2) Compact figure desired for hospital\´s nuclear medical department 3) A bitter type magnet yoke shielding activity 4) Simple control and operation 5) Easy maintenance without skilled Personnel. Type BC105 (P:10MeV, d:5MeV) , BC107 (P:10MeV, d:7MeV) , BC168 (P:16MeV, d:8MeV) and BC1710 (P:17MeV, d:10MeV) are available according to required amount of radioisotopes. In our radioisotope production test, yield and purity of 11 C, 13 N, 15 O and 18 F are usable to clinical diagnosis.
