A system for continuous production and infusion of [{sup 15}O]H{sub 2}O has been designed for PET cerebral blood flow studies. The injection system consists of a four-port-two-position valve, two Horizon Nxt infusion pumps, and a sterile 50 ml vial. The variation of the production of [{sup 15}O]H{sub 2}O was <1%. The variation of activity delivered measured by scanner counts during the steady state period was <2%.
