  • Abstract
    Routine production of [18F]fluoride has been carried out by 6 MeV proton irradiation of H2 18O water using a small-volume silver target vessel. By optimizing the target design, a 120 min irradiation of 600 μl 97% enriched [18O]H2O at a beam current of 10 μA gives a practical yield of 5700±80 MBq (154±2 mCi). The produced [18F]fluoride has been used for no-carrier-added synthesis of 2-18FDG.
