A cost effective method for the preparation of sodium fluoride [¹⁸F]NaF for PET-CT imaging by using an in-house...

We report the development of a manual module for the preparation of [¹⁸F]NaF for metastatic bone cancer imaging. By using this simple module, [¹⁸F]NaF production can be carried out inexpensively without using commercially available kits. The module can be used for making [¹⁸F]NaF from freshly irradiated H₂¹⁸O water or with left over activity in the target after [¹⁸F]FDG production. The product meets all quality control parameters.
