System and method for the production of 18F-Fluoride

摘要

A system and method for producing <18>F-Fluoride by using a proton beam to irradiate <18>Oxygen in gaseous form. The irradiated <18>Oxygen is contained in a chamber that includes at least one component to which the produced <18>F-Fluoride adheres. A solvent dissolves the produced <18>F-Fluoride off of the at least one component while it is in the chamber. The solvent is then processed to obtain the <18>F-Fluoride.
