Synthesis of 18F-precursor compounds

Creators

Description

In this work F-18 is made by the irradiation of neon with deuterons by the 20Ne (d,α) 18F reaction. As no fluorine is used in preparation of the target or apparatus, all fluorine produced will be F-18. Since the fluorine is so reactive, it is not normally detected in either the target neon or the material of target chamber construction
