Diagram showing the steps of a nuclear medicine therapy process. The first step, labeled '1. Production,' features an image of a reactor core at the University of Utah. The second step, labeled '2. Separation,' shows the chemical symbols for uranium-164 and thorium-161 with their atomic numbers. The third step, labeled '3. Theranostic,' involves the use of the radioactive isotope Terbium-161 for therapy and diagnostic purposes, with icons of a person, a camera, and arrows indicating targeted treatment.
Diagram showing a porous black and gray material called 'Extraction Chromatographic Resins' with red dots labeled 'DGA or LN Extractant.' To the right, a colored list indicates properties of 'Lanthanide Series' materials, with checkboxes next to 'Thermodynamics' in green, 'Isotherms' in blue, and 'Kinetics' in yellow.
