Description

The use of the nuclear reaction 18O(p,n)18F and 18O-water targets has recently drawn an increased interest in the production of 18F-fluoride to be used in labelling radiopharmaceuticals for positron tomography. We have developed a small volume target system of nickel for effective production of 18F-fluoride. A remote controlled apparatus was constructed for the production of 2-18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-18F-FDG). The overall yield ranged from 15 -40 %, with a synthesis time of about 90 min.
