In this research production of 191Os/191mIr generator was<br />

investigated. 191Osmium is a parent radionuclide with 15.4d half-life<br />

and 191mIridium is daughter radionuclide with 4.96s half-life. It<br />

decays by isometric transition to stable 191Ir, emitting a 129-keV<br />

gamma photon. In addition, iridium x-rays at about 65 keV are<br />

emitted, as a result of internal conversion, from the 129-keV excited<br />

state. The half-life of 191Os (15.4 days) is sufficiently long to<br />

facilitate transportation, generator construction, quality control, and<br />

clinical use. 191mIr is recently has been used as an angiography<br />

radionuclide. One major use of this technique is in the evaluation of<br />

children with congenital heart disease. The information obtained with<br />

radio-angiography is of importance in the diagnosis and management<br />

of these patients and, at times, can take the place of a cardiac<br />

catheterization. In this work, 191Os-hexachloro-osmate was obtained<br />

by thermal neutron flux (4—1013 n.cm-2.s-1) of natural osmium<br />

oxide sample followed by fusion with KOH and KNO3 in acidic media.<br />

One of the important radionuclide impurities is 192Ir that produced<br />

with 191Os in reactor. Separation this impurity from 191Os is<br />

developed by a new performance in this research and the total<br />

recovery yield of 191Os is about %99 and the total time required for<br />

completion the procedure is about 2h. This method improved the<br />

yield and the time of performance in comparison with the published<br />

literatures. Then 191Os is loaded on an anion-exchange column and<br />

191mIr eluted with normal saline. Each elution is 1 ml of 0.9% saline<br />

at pH 1. The yield of generator was assessed for two weeks. 191mIr<br />

yield is 8 to 11% and 191Os breakthrough is 0.001 to 0.005%.<br />
