Abstract

A remotely operated, shielded synthesis system for the production of 2-deoxy-2-[ ¹⁸F]fluoro-D-glucose ( ¹⁸FDG) for clinical studies has been developed. Using this system, 25 mCi of ¹⁸FDG are produced at the end of a 60-min synthesis from ~300 mCi of F-18 (total F-18 among various components of the synthesis system has been measured. This yield of ¹⁸FDG (25 mCi) is ample for two consecutive human studies in house or for shipment to collaborating institutions within a 3-hr (door to door) radius.
