Nowadays, the field of radionuclide treatment is enjoying an exciting stage and preparing for further growth and progress in the future. For instance, in Asia, the large spread of liver and thyroid diseases has resulted in several new developments/clinical trials using molecular radiotherapy (i.e. targeted radionuclide therapy). Iodine-124 has unique physical properties including long half-life that adding an advantage for pharmacokinetics and radiopharmaceutical analysis. One of its applications in nuclear medicine is in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The aim of the present work is to evaluate the production yield of 124 I via calculated the excitation functions/stopping power for the reactions nat Te(P, X) 124 I, 121 Sb(A, N) 124 I, nat Sb(A, X) 124 I and 123 Sb(A,3N) 124 I in the energy range ( 3.87-62.95)MeV by using Mat-lab and SRIM programs.
