To expand the spectrum of used radiopharmaceuticals, it is proposed to obtain a positron-emitting isotope of technetium 94mTc. The intention of this work is to research the possibility of producing various technetium isotopes on a medical cyclotron. For this purpose, we carried out a series of irradiations of an aqueous solution of molybdenum of natural isotopic composition with protons of 11 MeV energy. After technetium isolation, results were analyzed on a γ-spectrometer. 511 keV gamma-ray line was obtained.
