(Invited) Fluorination and No-Carrier-Added Radio-Fluorination of Organic Molecules Using Cation Pool Technique

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a molecular imaging method is being employed in preclinical and clinical studies such as oncology or diagnosis of certain diffuse brain diseases. The growth of PET as a powerful method in biomedical research, needs development of more efficient methods for developing the positron-emitting radiotracers. The fluorine radioactive isotope (18F) has a short half-life of 110 min, making it as an ideal PET …
