Many radionuclides are used in nuclear medicine applications either for diagnostic
or therapeutic purposes. In-111 is one of the mostly used radionuclide in nuclear
medicine application for diagnostic purpose. Mainly, white blood cells are labelled
with In-111 to search relatively new infections. In-111 is mostly produced in such a
way that silver or cadmium target are bombarded with alpha or proton. On the other
hand, the number of heavy-ion fusion evaporation reactions facility is rising with
respect to the past and there can be found some proposals for production of In-111
by using heavy-ion fusion evaporation reactions. In the present study, some heavy-
ion fusion evaporation reaction paths for production of In-111 radionuclide are
discussed. PACE and HIVAP nuclear reaction codes have been used for
investigation of production cross sections of In-111 in various possible reaction
channels. It should be noted that chemical separation of In-111 among produced
nuclei after reaction are not considered in the present study. Yield ratios of In-111
radionuclide in specific reactions are carried out as a function of beam energy and
discussed in detail by comparing previous studies and available experimental data.
