Abstract
Routine production of [F-18]fluoride has been carried out by 6 MeV pro ton irradiation of H-2 O-18 water using a small-volume silver target v essel. By optimizing the target design, a 120 min irradiation of 600 m u l 97% enriched [O-18]H2O at a beam current of 10 mu A gives a practi cal yield of 5700+/-80 MBq (154+/-2 mCi). The produced [F-18]fluoride has been used for no-carrier-added synthesis of 2-(FDC)-F-18.
