Abstract
Scandium radioisotopes are increasingly considered viable radiolabels for targeted molecular imaging (Sc-43, Sc-44) and therapy (Sc-47). Significant technological advances have increased the quantity and quality of available radioscandium in the past decade, motivated in part by the chemical similarity of scandium to therapeutic radionuclides like Lu-177. The production and radiochemical isolation techniques applied to scandium radioisotopes are reviewed, focusing on charged particle and electron linac initiated reactions and using calcium and titanium as starting materials.
