The aim of this work is to learn the relationship of the stability of (β) emitter isobars with their shape for some isobaric elements with even mass number (A=152 - 162). To reach this goal firstly the most stable isobar have been determined by plotting mass parabola (plotting the binding energy (B.E) as a function of the atomic number (Z)) for each isobaric family. Then three-dimensional representation graphics for each nucleus in these isobaric families have been plotted to illustrate the deformation in the shape of a nucleus. These three-dimensional representation graphics prepared by calculating the values of semi-axis minor (a), major (b) and (c) ellipsoid axis’s. Our results show that the shape of nuclides which is represented the most stable isobar in mass parabola are not spherical but they have some deformation in their shape, and need to emit a gamma ray to a chive more stable status and get spherical shape. The stable nuclides, which are determined from mass parabola, are different from the nuclides, which have less value of deformation.

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 124I via calculated the excitation functions/stopping power for the reactionsnatTe(P, X)124I, 121 Sb(A, N)124I,natSb(A, X)124I and 123Sb(A,3N)124I in the energy range ( 3.87-62.95)MeV by using Mat-lab and SRIM programs.
