Abstract:
As an important complementary imaging agent for
18F-FDG,
18F-fluoroethyl-choline (
18F-FECH) has been demonstrated to be promising in brain and prostate cancer imaging. By using domestic PET-FDG-TI-I CPCU synthesizer,
18F-FECH was synthesized by different reagents and consumable supplies. The C18 column was added before the product collection bottle to remove
K2.2.2. The
18F-FECH was synthesized by PET-FDG-IT-I synthesizer efficiently about 30 minutes by radiochemical yield of 42.0% (no decay corrected,
n=5), and the radiochemical purity was still more than 99.0% after 6 hours. The results showed the domestic PET-FDG-IT-I synthesizer could semi-automatically synthesize injectable
18F-FECH in high efficiency and radiochemical purity.
