EXIFON 2.0 code has been used to calculate the (?,n) and (?,2n) reactions of 122Sb for the cyclotron production of 123,124I which have application in positron emission tomography imaging. For both reactions, the threshold for the reaction obtained from the evaluation compared well with measured values. Results obtained shows good agreement with measurements from EXFOR. It was observed that there is a need for optical model contribution to the pre-equilibrium mechanism of EXIFON at 16MeV for (?,2n) and 27MeV for (?,n) reactions. However, the results show good agreement with available measured data at lower energy level.
